No picture tonight. I’m enjoying C&D Chopped Cigar Leaf in a Savinelli 811. Sometimes I just want to relax with the simple one dimensional creamy smoke that this leaf provides. I see you there. “If I wanted a cigar, I’d smoke a cigar.” So would I but when I want chopped cigar leaf in a pipe that’s what I smoke. They are not the same.

I tried de-ghosting this estate pipe and left it overnight with coffee grounds. It helped but I think I need to leave it for more than just a day. After having a crowned heads (la careme) cigar i was in the mood for a little something sweet. Cue Northwest Trek by CS in my cob with a forever stem.

Never tried chopping cigar leaf in a pipe. Guess what I'm going to try tonight . . . . have an old coffee grinder I haven't used for years . . . . might give that a whirl in a miniature, and knife chop the other half of the cigar into another miniature. Will sacrifice a Principes Caribbean on the alter of experimentation tonight.

After all, I've been experimenting with great success making cigarillos out of pipe tobacco. Turnabout is fair play, eh?

As Daffy would say, "WOO WOO WOO" opened up the cigar and it was pre-cut into flakes already. Shows you what I know lol. Smokin' time!

Can't go wrong with that tobacco!! At the top of the heap imho. And that pipe . . . . gotta get one! Amazing!
Yessir! It is a great pipe. When I found it I had never seen anything like it. Turns out it's a pattern Radice makes (regularly? on occasion?) and another member here has one, too. Not a pot, still don't know what to call it. puffy

I like the way you think.

Squirted some Marvel’s Mystery Oil on top of the pistons and put in new plugs on my friend’s bike. I rebuilt the carb and we’ll see what happens firing it up tomorrow-been sitting last 5 years since she layed it down.
