***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

[reloader]

I've been sitting on a cellophane sealed pouch of this -- which was a freebie thrown in with another order -- for awhile. Thanks for the reminder -- I should try this!

I added it to my last order because I had never tried it and found it to be very enjoyable. Mine was dry enough that I could take the tobacco straight from the pouch to the pipe and light up. In my opinion its a blend that punches well above its price. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Good day all! Forgot to post yesterday: had a lovely bowl of C&D Bayou Morning in a Savinelli flame grain Autograph Billiard 5 with flattened shank and matching saddle stem. Today, I'm staring with SG Hansom Flake in an Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4.

2022 C&D CRF in a Bones.

TAK Mica Cake in Wimbledon

First time I read about anyone on the forum smoking TAK tobacco, except me. I thought you are in South America. How did you get the TAK? Do they ship it overseas? Try Tom Darasz Perique Cones, they’re great.

Or Black Beauty, or Nordwind with a lot of dark fired Kentucky, there is so much excellent stuff.

Giving Rattray Marlin Flake from 2018 a try in a Savinelli 673 KS. As a new pipe smoker there are still so many brands and blends I feel I have to try.

Yum, Salty Dogs in a Castello. Note to self: buy more Salty Dogs

Smoking a bowl of Carter Hall in a Hendon billiard.

HH Burley Flake (to which I added a touch of bourbon) in a Ferndown *** bent billiard.

 

[ThermionicScott]

50/50 mix of C&D Bright and Red Virginia blending tobaccos in my #1 cob.



After a bunch of cleaning and airing out, there’s very little of that cigar-ish funk left that I complained about before. Hopefully if I just stick to light and sweet blends in this pipe, it will continue to sweeten up.

Close to finishing this bowl of C&D Yorktown in a straight sandblasted black circa 1920s-30s (Comoy’s) Ancestor bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Had to get a little work done before walking reps.

Did a set of walking reps on this warm, sunny day, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Smoking some "Little Dutch" that my friend grew in 2019, in a Dr. Delgrove pipe.
