Had a pipe for the first time in awhile (normally a cold weather pipe smoker) with some Briar Fox in my new Cavicchi. That pipe is amazing. Might buy another one down the road somewhere...

C&D Epiphany, jury is still out on this blend for me. It has it's moments. For the price and availability in bulk makes it hard to pass up.

H&H Virginia Spice in a Stannie Majestic 141. This new (to me) bulk blend could become one of my all-day smokes any time now.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

sounds good, I've got a ounce coming to try ope it's as good as u make it sound.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Well, at least to me it's every bit as good as I made it sound. YMMV of course. This is a road all of us must trek by ourselves, as our body chemistries differ and so do our tastebuds (some of us have more, some have fewer of them). I had a bit of an adventure with that order. They sent Victorian Stroll, an English blend, by mistake. They immediately made it right and sent me the correct order a few days later. It turns I also like the Victorian Stroll anyway, so it's all good to me. :tu

Right now: PS LBF in a Cavicchi C dublin.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Awesome Ed.

Went to the local ( 25miles away ) B&M today. Pick up some of their house blends. Trying some "14k" right now. It's a golden VA ribbon with a light topping. Think I might have to pick up a new pipe to dedicate Aro's too. One I have now is a cheap yello bole and it makes most taste the same...

Love that blend. Not a big cavendish fan but I do enjoy it in the spun cakes.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Having my first bowl of P.S. Luxury Bullseye Flake. I think I'm a believer now, the price for bulk is a win win also. Next order maybe be a box of this.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

The bullseye of Cavendish OK? You express concern about it earlier.
:tu:td

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

To be honest I notice only traces of it in the tobacco I find it mends well with the perique. I get the VA's then the sweet / spicy runs in and out of the smoke. So far so good. I just grabbed two disk stuffed em into the pipe and went to town. Still smoking it as I type. I think that most blends use too much cavendish maybe that's why I did not care for it too much.

Might need a brother to split a box up with. Dunno if I'm game for another case of jars...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Presbyterian Mixture in the Sasieni Four Dot Burton, a Ruff-Root (sandblast) bent billiard that I bought new back in 1978.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

P.S. Luxury Twist Flake. Not sure what to make of this blend. It seems to have some sort of casing on it. It's extremely sweet. I'm not sure it it's from the cavendish "pressing" done to the flake or not. The room note is not too bad. Maybe a change of pace smoke, but I dont think it's something I would load up on...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Two bowls so far tonight.
1st bowl of Louisiana Red from pipesandcigars good Va/Per Blend. I like the range on the VA's. Will be getting more of this for sure.
2nd bowl is Ten to Midnight another blend from P&C. Latakia krumble kake of sorts. I first tried to break pieces off and sit them in the bowl and smoke similar to a flake but that was a massively bad idea. I dumped the baccy and rubbed out the kake now it is smoking like a dream. Good Lat blend but isnt quite a Lat bomb. Good for when you want a good shot of Latakia but not so much. Definitely going on the pound purchase list...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Presbyterian Mixture again, in a GBD 5th Avenue (Made in France), a diplomat shape. Good first smoke of the day. TGIF.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Had a bowl of Key Largo in my Wessex this morning (excellent). Now I'm puffing of 1792 in my new (to me) Alpha Burl Briar from Israel.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Finished a bowl of GLP Charing Cross late this AM with a cup of Trader Joe' House Blend coffee:tu

Oh, and just scarfed down a slice of cherry pie:dr

Had some Prairie Wind in my MM Great Dane Cobb this morning.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

A second bowl of H&H Virginia Spice, this time in a Savinelli Virginia 623, a small bulldog shape.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

decided to go a little country today. Trying out some C&D Jamaican Rum in my MM Great Dane Cobb.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

that sounds good...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

if only it was real rum! Lol it was decent. Smelled like really sugary caramel.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

McClellands Blackwood Flake in my new Peterson Rocky Donegal 268. P-lip is new to me but not to shabby.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

How do you like the P-lip? I've never smoked one but they sound intruiging.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I tried some GH Sweet Rum Twist in a no-name apple today and lived to tell about it. I guess all the cigars have prepared me for the stronger pipe tobaccos.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I've only smoked 1 bowl so far. It definitely did as it's supposed to, directly the smoke to the roof of my mouth. Which proved good for the VA Flake I was smoking since I tend to puff heavy on VA Blends. I'm going to have to give it a few more smokes to make a real decision on the p-lip.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Half a bowl of Froggie on the Town, in my new Peterson Killarney. English Tobacco in an Irish pipe... Just seems wrong.

Orlik Golden Sliced in my new Peterson. Good smoke. Thinking about doing an all VA showdown much like Slow T did for the Va/Per blends. What ya guys think about that?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I'm all for that!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

PS luxury bullseye flake. Really loving this blend.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I opened up a tin of Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian the other day. Kinda letting it dry out, but with an ambient humidity of high 50s, it might take a while for it to dry. But I plan on smoking all of it with in the next month or so.
