So not much of a pipe smoker, but the Fall is a great time to sit outside and enjoy a nice pipe.

I picked up some GLP Meridian while down here in the US, and am really enjoying it. Not as wild as Pirate Cake that a tried a few days ago, but great aromas from this one. Seems to go with the autumn colours. Intense brooding and delicious.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Morning all, Smoking my Meerschaum IMP Filled with Captain Black(White) On a Straight smoke this tobacco is simple and smooth. With the Retro it adds to the Flavor profile. No matter what tobacco I have. I always have CBW and PA in my daily smoke rotation.

Some Penzance in a new Chacom Alpina 28.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Just had a nice bowl of Nightcap in a cob.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Haddo's in my churchhill as well as some Celtic Twilight in my GBD new standard billiard. both excellent.

Thinking about grabbing some Barbary Coast soon, it sounds right up my alley.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Have a couple tins of Haddos I havent cracked yet. Looking forward to it. The Barbary Coast is good stuff.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Rattray's Marlin Flake in a cob. I love this stuff.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Smoking some DT Holmer Knudsen's in a SmokeMaster S300. Strange pipe really. Cool in it's own right. A filter pipe (Pipe Cleaner) folded in half slides in 2 holes in the stem. Kind of an interesting older pipe.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Sutliff Private Stock #5 in my Chacom Alpina 28, a good, solid English. The pipe continues to smoke cool and gurgle free. I'm using those "Hi grade" softy bits from P&C and between that and the light weight of the pipe, it is a very comfy smoke.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of that, James. How well does it work?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Morning everyone, Subvet here is the picture of my pipes stem bottom to better show the dells cleaner, then a picture of an ad on Dells pipe cleaner package showing another smokemaster pipe to help aid with the idea of how it works........ These pictures are under the What's in my pipe picture. :tu

Smoking some Peterson Connoisseur's Choice in a Strange pipe for sure a large bowl Sketcher

Here is an Image of the pat from back in the 30's with the design of how it would work. the red is showing where the pipe cleaner in the picture above in the other post is at.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Thanks James! That sure is one strange looking pipe; kinda Steam Punk-ish. It is an interesting system. It looks like the pipe cleaner acts as a trap for the condensate from the slotted tube.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

It snowed today! Not cigar weather, so I tried a flake from the tin of MacBaren Dark Fired I bought yesterday, in my ancient meer I acquired from one of the members here. It was a great little smoke - actually quite complex with some BBQ sweetness in there. The meer gurgled a bit, but maybe I was puffing too quickly because of the lousy weather.

She's a delicate lady, so I cleaned her up and will let her rest a bit!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Comoy's Cask Nº11 in a Chacom Plume. Not bad.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Smoking some Gatlinburlier Sugarlands Honey in a Legend cob. Morning all..

James

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Pipe Nº2: Some Ashton Artisans Blend mixed ½ and ½ with Ashton's Gold Rush straight Virginia in a Chacom Alpina 28. Pretty good! :tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Tried the McC Wilderness yesterday. Quite nice - so I acquired two tins - one for now and one for much later.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Frog Morton on the Bayou. Perique is strong in this one.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

The Cube Silver in a MM Cob. Tasty Treat

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Escudo in my Peterson 303. I finally cracked a tin. It's surprisingly mild stuff.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

How is the escudo compared to the Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls? i hear they are kind of the same. One little less flavor then the other??

Smoking some Dan Tobacco Blue Note in the Savinelli 622KS

James

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I haven't tried that yet, James. Its in a jar. I'll try it soon and report back though. :)

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Oh wait, you sent me the my mixture, right?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Sutliff Private Stock Nº5 in my Grabow Silver Duke. This could be a regular in the rotation. On another note, could anyone recommend a non-fruity aromatic for a guy that likes English blends? The wife asked if I might try one.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

You try Barbary Coast yet, Darren? It's good.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Your right, you know what. I meant to send you some of the De Luxe as well. Don't know why it is still here in my drawer. Well!!! Shoot. Already on my second Tin. I will have to buy a Tin and see what is different.

James

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

No, I haven't. Who makes it? What'sit like? I haven't tried very much of anything yet, but I want to take a well reasoned approach to find my everyday smoke. I know, in my head, what I want, but it's hard to describe. I have some Comoy's Cask #2 on the way: chocolate and vanilla with a back note of port wine. Sounds good.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

You should hold off and wait for the mailman before you buy anything

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

It's a very light aromatic by GLP. Burley based and very tasty. It's not overly aromatic, retaining much of the tobacco flavor and has a good room note. I like it a lot and coming from cigars I also like the English blends.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Here's a few reviews to help you out regarding the Barbary Coast Darren:

http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/...-barbary-coast

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Yeah guys, that's just the kind of thing I was thinking about. Something NOT like a Swisher Sweet. It's on the list.

The wife wanted me to check out aromatics because they remind her of her dad when she was growing up.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Ah, I gotcha. I haven't really delved too deep into those, cause it's not really my thing I guess. The ones I've tried were too sweet I guess, which is why I found the BC to be a nice balance. I wish I could help more.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

That's lotsa help! That's just the kinda thing I was looking for; I don't want to smoke a candy bar, either.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

On my regular supply run to the Granite State, I had an opportunity to stop at a great pipe and tobacco shop called Gold Leaf on Rt. 1 (Lafayette Rd.) in Hampton. I found them by checking out the GLP website and they were listed as a stockist. What a great shop! The proprietor is gentleman right out of Central Casting; he looks like he was born with a pipe in his mug. He mostly sells pipes, pipe tobacco and accessories, but he has some cigars. I bought his last tin of GPL Barbary Coast and got some good advice about gurgling pipes; counter sink the tenon. Another shop patron called it "G-Forcing". :pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

A bowl full of Father Dempsey Blend from Kramers Pipe and Tobacco Shop in Beverly Hills. Good stuff:tu Smoked this in the unknown billiard estate pipe that I'm refurbishing to tighten the tenon in the mortise. Appears to be doing the job. Maybe a few more bowls and then I'll get rid of it (maybe)...

Nice looking shop on line, probably better in-person. Glad you got a tin of BC Darren.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Let me know how you like the BC. I just smoked a bowl on the way in to work and continue to really enjoy it.

Also, since you gravitate toward the English blends, be sure to try GLP's Gaslight. I got a few samples of it with some tin orders and enjoyed it very much. I plan to buy a few tins on my next shopping spree:)

What does "counter sink the tenon" mean?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Just had a bowl of McC Oriental blend 14 in my little Kaywoodie acorn I acquired from BamBam. Pipe smoked really well and I thoroughly enjoyed the blend.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Smoking some Hearth & Home Caramel Apple Pie, in a cob this Monday AM.

James

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Just had some Comoy's Cask #4. nice flake.

Darren, if you end up enjoying the BC, give Haddo's Delight by GLP as well.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Couple bowls of John Bull English over the weekend. Really pleasant stuff. Very classic "pipe" smell according to everyone I Was around.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

More Frog Morton On the Town. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying and using this brebbia pipe cleaner/sweetner stuff and all I taste is mint. Lesson for the day: NEVER USE BREBBIA MINT SWEETNER!!!!!

This stuff is so strong it masks even the latakia. Dang. Hopefully it will go away after this bowl and a cleaning with everclear. =(

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I'm smoking some BC in my new Ropp Silhouette prince. I like it! I have it in a tobacco jar I picked-up on the 'Bay. I'll post pix tomorrow in the purchase thread. Counter-sinking a tenon is actually just like it sounds: use a drill bit, by hand, to open the opening of the tenon such that it's funnel shaped. I imagine that it smooths out the air flow.
Wow, this BC stays lit and cool. The pipe, itself, is silent. I'm learning to time my puffs with my breathing and it helps a lot. Gaslight caught my eye and the description sounds good, so I was looking at that, as well. It caught my eye, because I like the movie so I got the reference. I still have a couple of tobaccos sitting around that I haven't tried yet: the Iwan Ries Three Star Blue that they sent free with the Ropp (another crossover, from the description), and the Comoy's Cask Nº 2 (a bit more aromatic). I'll probably get to them in the next couple of days. I'm only smoking a half bowl as its the pipe's first smoke, but this BC develops a bit as you go.:pi Thanks again for the help, everyone! :tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Smoking some Comoy's Cask Nº2 in my Christiano bent rusticated Dublin setter. This is pretty good, too! :tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Father Dempsey Blend from Kramers Pipe and Tobacco Shop in Beverly Hills. Second bowl of this blend through the unknown billiard estate pipe that I'm refurbishing, and it has now tightened the tenon in the mortise very well:tu

Thanks for the advice Todd (RevSmoke):tu
