***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

[Sobrbiker]

No pipe on the drive in today, I took the Harley. I doubt a wind cap would’ve helped much with 28 miles of 90mph breeze on the interstate

First up was Phantom Privateer in my new to me “My Own Blend” short stack Lovat by Stanwell for Poul Olsen. This pipe smokes wonderfully, went for an hour with 40 minutes of that hanging out of my face showing the young’uns at work how I expect a jackhammer to be ran.


Next was hauling a load of concrete debris in a dump truck, same pipe but packed with ‘23 WCC Rouxgaroux.


Now that my crew is squared away on-site, and I’ve got three tacos in me, it’s time for my usual Monday morning task of pump station inspections. This’ll be my first go ‘round with War Horse Bar, in the Pete Short Army 102.

Yay! I'm back! My last eye recheck went well. I can now smoke my pipes again. And drive again. My first smoke after far too long is my first ever burn of Ennerdale, courtesy of a kind forum member, @FurCoat. Thank you very much sir! My initial impression is, I like it. Really pleasant tin(bag) note and room note. No tongue burn. I think i need to let it dry longer. Or find a blacksmith with a spare ember! It's only my first time with this tobacco of renown, but so far, it's favorable. View attachment 290010

I rub the broken flake out until it'salmost dust and let it dry for about 30 min to an hour. I'm glad you liked it.

A perfect paring of tobacco and pipe. Gold Star Gourmet Blend, neat, is my drink.
