H&H Larry’s Blend in Stanwell Flame Grain Bulldog #32

 

[OldWill]

Continuing my stroll through old fashioned oriental forward low/no lat blends. This is another Gawith blend made for Tavern Tobacco, "Rose of Zanzibar", 2005 vintage, in a Stanwell Amber poker.

Now I’m smoking the “newer” Velvet baccy in the recently acquired MM Cob.

Good evening All
A bowl of Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy Flake in a Savinelli 703 King Size. It’s been a long day, fair play to Rangers winning the Scottish Cup.
Happy smokes

I always enjoy delving into the details of pictures posted on the forum. There’s often a unique or homemade pipe smoking accoutrement two observe.
In the picture you posted recently, I noticed the wine cork with a screw. This appears to be a tamper of some sort?
I’ve never heard of the Gawith blend, love the tin art! Clean with no propaganda warnings.

 

[OldWill]

Yes, the cork with drywall screw is my fishing tamper, which floats it I drop it. Of course it turns out to work better than some of my regular tampers, so I use it often. I can also use the cork end to help pack folded flakes into larger bowls.
The long defunct Tavern Tobacco Co. in Knoxville, TN always used great tin art when they packaged Gawith's tobaccos. I picked up several in 2005 when I visited U of Tenn to attend a professional society meeting.
Thanks for noticing.

Thanks @OldWill for the reply.
I see the utility in it for sure. It would really work well on some of my pipes that have smaller bowls and are tapered on the bottom.
I think I’m going to craft me up one!

Good afternoon, almost evening now. Smoking the first third of a classic Toscano. Now at home, smoking this endless Italian cucumber of the devil. My father-in-law can't stop laughing, he says my cave stinks. My sister-in-law arrives on Monday, for a vacation at my house. She will have to sleep every night in my cave, there are no more free rooms. She was a smoker many years ago, of stinking cigarettes. Now she is a vegetarian and does a lot of yoga. My father-in-law says there was a time when she was a beer drinker and ate steaks of almost a kilo. Oh yeah, baby, you're going to have nightmares in my cave at night. Surrounded by pipes, tobacco and ashes on the carpet. Damn, I could write a nice song.

Happy smokes

Still chugging away on this Habana Daydream. It's a good blend but I'm ready to move on. It was a 4 oz purchase that I kept in a quart jar, a jar I'm tired of looking at. It'll be dead today or tomorrow.

Perfect evening at the fire pit with my family, a good book and a Stanwell filled with sweet Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake. My heart goes out to all of you lonely or going through hard times. You are not alone!
