SG BS Flake in the yard cobs while mowing.

 

[Backwoods Briar]

Bijou pot filled with No bite delight, a left coast IPA. Listening to Gov”t mule, Warren Haynes hammering that Les Paul. Enjoy the evening all

To me it doesn’t taste like dark Virginia nor does it taste like Perique, what it does taste like I can’t explain. The sample I’m smoking is 3 years old and I have smoked it at many moisture levels, including bone dry, and the mouth feel and the flavor never changes. Simply not enjoyable to me on any level. Marlin Flake is supposed to be a companion to Old Gowrie, but I see no resemblance at all. I actually like Old Gowrie quite a bit.

I’m with you. Old gowrie isn’t complicated, buts it’s one I reach for when I don’t wanna overthink it, and just want a nice predictable smoke

Emptied a tin of aged Newmister SRS. Lotsa bluegrass, footstompin’, jug bandin’ stuff today. Killed the Old Number 7…. Summabich.

Hampton Roads in my Alden 4 square.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught catfish and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm near the half way mark on this bowl of Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a well appreciated medium bend, smooth brown 1950s Peterson 999 Dublin chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Strangest baseball game I've ever watched, and I've seen/listened to/ played in around 15,000 games in my life.

SPC Virginia Jazz after a long day.

Just finished a bowl of 4noggins Prairie Wind in my Peterson. I had forgotten how sweet it is!

 

[Papamique]

Esoterica Dunbar in a 25th Anniversary Radice Twin Bore Oil Cured pipe. #80 out of 100 made. Ice water for a drink.

 

[JimInks]

Approaching the last third of this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight black with burgundy undertone sandblasted early 1960s Lane era Charatan 420 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This Braves game has turned into a real classic. Communty Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Bayou Morning in an Il Duca Apple

 

[Sidehatch]

KBV Flying Dutchmen Flek in a Castello billiard. Looking to catch up on some smoking this weekend after a quiet few weeks.

 

[Hillcrest]

Sutliffe 507-C slow sipped in the Buitz-Choquin Fait Main calabash. Pipe walls are too thin to smoke other than very slowly.

 

[JimInks]

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple and am passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Dunhill Elizabethan Match in a straight smooth brown 1960s-70s BBB Own Make 506 Canadian with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work now.

No name briar calabash stuffed with LJP Tashkent.
What a delightful blend, I understand why many hold it in such high regard.
I have bought a collection of LJ Peretti samples and this is the first I've tried. Looking forward to working through the lot but I will be getting a larger supply of Tashkent.
