What's in your pipe? (Part 1)

S. Gawith Perfection in a Radice Rind Oom-Paul

@perique how is that Perfection? I keep meaning to pick some up but I fear the name doth protest too much! Would love to know your thoughts on it.

Currently smoking the delicious Navy Flake by SG. I’ve come to the realisation today that 1792 Flake is the only tobacco I’ve met that I’ve found physically impossible to smoke. There is something in it (possibly the Tonquin) that irritates my mouth and lips in a really weird way-sort of like strong chilli but without the enjoyability factor. I lit a bowl just now and smoked about 1/3 of it before I had to stop as it was just painful. Very odd. No such probs with NF though, a lovely smoke!

Spent the afternoon in the sunshine smoking Sam’s Flake in my Meer followed by an early evening soujourn to the beach with a big bowl of De Luxe Navy Rolls in my Italian Spigot Billiard. A good day’s smoking, I say!

NYPC Bedloe’s Island - VaPer Oriental “A dramatic merging of bright Virginia with a generous portion of Acadian Perique is invigorated with a measure of Macedonian oriental leaf and presented in a pressed cake. Sweet on the top, it develops into a lush, complex smoke with a savory body and layers of flavor from the oriental component.”

This morning’s smoke was Fox’s The Bankers in a rusticated basket billiard, now I’m onto FVF in my Italian Spigot Billiard.

SG Commonwealth in my '49 Peterson System Standard 314…absolutely loving this tobacco-it needs to sit in the pipe for an hour before lighting though, that seems to really help it sing.

Had a long night of sleeplessness but some good pipes and Irish whiskey to keep me company. Irish flake in a mm country gentlemen. C&D Nutty Irishmen in a Dartmouth club straight Irish Oak in a Pete donegal 106 g.l. please Cairo in a Gouda Tavern clay Dunghill Flake in a mm CG and Bushmills on the side. Ok time for some sleep

Bob’s Choclate Flake. Man I actualy like this one more and more the longer I have it. At first I thought it was an o.k. smoke. Though when you hit the sweet spot with it it’s mind bendingly good. As if the added scents are just enough to make the smoke seem a little richer and creamier. Wonderfull smoke.

@pieterclassen. That was definitley an autocorrect feature on my kindle gone horribly awry. The Dunhill flake was excellent! Grousemore plug in a Dartmouth Club briar. Not sure of anything about this pipe other than it smokes well. First bowl of Grousemore. I need a couple smokes before I decide about it. I get lots of grassy sweetness out of it, I picked up more than the lakeland floral thing. I think it could use a little drying time though.
