Up way too early again for FA Cup footie. This time I'm smoking WCC Rhythm and Blues in in a Rossi billiard.
Love the look of that mug!
Just made the last batch of 73s now that blending tobacco from Sutliff has dried up. smoking the much maligned OGS - which I think is a great Virginia - but what do I know? To each his own - And in those days each person did what was right in their own eyes .
2008 Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic in a Grabow amid the fat lake-effect snowflakes.
Tobacco sammich: 3/4 PS41, 1/4 Haunted bookshop. Pete 338
Trying something out here.
I really like PS41, but often get some tongue bite. I believe that is more due to the effort it takes to get it going than the tobacco itself.
Someone on here recommended (sorry don't recall the user), when getting a difficult tobacco going - like some gawith flakes - they fill the bowl 3/4, then top it off with something easy burning to start a beefier ember. Sounds great, lets try it.

Cold snap over, temperature just above freezing, so a bit of work in the garden. Tabac Manil de la Semois (La Volute), in a Missouri Meerschaum. Very taken with how lovely cool and sweet a smoke an MM provides. But La Semois being a fast burner, I should have brought out a much bigger calibre pipe for more than a 20 minute smoke. Ah well. This stuff always leaves me wanting more, anyway...
HU Director’s Cut in a Nuttens Bing and getting a fire together for an on the Patio smoking session later.
Well sometimes I had too much fun the night before and I’m just lying to myself about easing into the day when I’m really slapping myself across the face awake haha1792 is easing in to a Sunday ? I want to know what you smoke when you really need a jolt.
But honestly I think Brown Irish X is much much stronger
That sounds like a really good idea! How did it workout?
A Butz Choquin Jumbo filled with Danish Black, coffee
double thumbs up, worked like a charm.
Wish I could give credit where due…but thanks to who recommended that idea.
Fyi a 338 is a fairly small chamber, i should have gone 2/3 & 1/3. But suspect if you have a standard 20x40mm, or larger, a 1/4 bowl should work fine.
Another bowl of Mac Baren Vanilla Cream in a Stanwell billiard.
Great to hear, I'm definitely going to try this out. Thank you!
Chilly desert morning, 48 degrees F. First Gen Two Star Pipe by Lee Star Grain MAGIC STEM. This is a rare Lee using the Lord Davenport system - I doubt @Briar Lee owns one although I could be wrong. Smoking 88s - my own Virginia, Burley, and Oriental forward blend. I hope that blending tobaccos will continue to be available, but if not, I have about 3lbs jarred. It is a very pleasant and mild smoke.
The stem goes all the way into the bowl. @Parsimonious Piper is the only other person I know who has one of these.
It's a beautiful sunny morning here in Oklahoma. A Mic Jay with Bayou Morning Flake.
