***What Are You Smoking, January 2022?***

Luxury Navy Flake in a cob. I've been having problems keeping it lit. Tried drying it more. Tried fold and stuff. Then tried rubbing it out. Finally, today, I tried cubing it. There it is. Trial and error sometimes. Very much enjoy this tobacco. Good stuff.

C&D Derringer bulk in an MM Legend. Later I'm going to experiment with drying St Bruno. Straight out of the pouch I love the sauce but wind up with unlightable damp dottle and wasted tobacco. The other night I dried a portion overnight but got very little sauce, but the base leaf was very good and smoked to the bottom. I must find a happy medium in this dry climate (Arizona)!

Sir Walter Raleigh in a bones bulldog. I’m desperate for a bones billiard. Hoping he releases more straight shapes soon.

Did a set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.

Luxury Bullseye Flake in my bent MM Patriot. Getting some work done!

I've never tried St. Bruno but when I want to smoke a wet tobacco and don't have the patience to wait I put one of those mesh balls in the bottom of the bowl. I'm able to smoke all of the tobacco and the excess moisture is left at the bottom. Its the only use I've found for the handful of those I have sitting around.

Smoking Smiths Auld Brig in a Mungo McDonald of Midlothian Meershaum & taking a dram from a hundred year old bottle of Glenfarclas.
I'm joking of course, I'm actually smoking St. Bruno in a Peterson but will be raising a dram of grouse for Burns night.?

About a third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked.

@Laurent I'll have to get some Pirate Kake to smoke in my clay pipes when I go to Matlock Bath Pirate Mutiny this year...

How is the bird?

Not strong neither mild, but should I say peculiar 'tasting one, theres some floral smooth sweetness that never weakens ,Lakeland kind nuances which definitely will subdue Virginia an woody kentuckies in this one

I'm taking one of my Jamestown clay pipes with me and have been in conversation with other forum members about suitable pipe baccy.
I've been recommended to order some Fusilier's Ration, Patriot Flake and Yorktown among others; anyone else suggest suitable blends to smoke in my Jamestown clays???
