This morning the Comoys is having another go on the screened porch. The sky is blue and the temp at 70* should make for a nice outing. I picked up the Drew Estates 7th avenue blonde because I want to like it. It smells nice in the tin. We shall see what the French made new favorite pipe can do!

Subvet642 01-04-2015 09:40 AM

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
I like French pipes. Most of mine are. I like their classic shapes and that they're usually pretty light.

The.Sheepdog 01-04-2015 10:04 AM

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
The Comoys is lighter than the Boswells I am used to that is sure. I usually like bigger bowls and heavier pipes. The Comoys bowl is the size of a small egg in your hand.

This a first for the French made (English company) offerings for me and I like them so far!

My H&H Anniversary kake is on backorder so I am smoking whatever else I have. The Boswell is loaded with the sheepdog mix (autumn Evening/1q/BCA) for my mid day pipe.

Subvet642 01-05-2015 06:28 AM

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
See, I like to clench and light pipes are just more comfy. I'm a total noob, myself and I've had few problems with french pipes, so far. Just one really; a Chacom Alpina 28 with loose trim bands on the stem. I'm having them replaced with tortoise acrylic and the stem bent to a ¼ bend. Smokes great, though. :tu

I haven't had any motivation to roast the 9 lbs of coffee I still have. I need to do some roasting. Maybe tomorrow!

How is the peruvian coffee? I'm not sure I've ever had any.

Taste darn good Brian! FC+ roast and medium-heavy body. I haven't had the time to roast as well, so, I purchased a 24oz/26oz bag from Cost Plus for $9.99. Good deal for that amount of roasted whole coffee. They also have same in 12oz/14oz bags too...

Thanks! It's a great smoker, too. I think I'm gonna dedicate this one to aro's, ones with additives, anyway.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
Lovely pipe! I learned along the way that aromatics kake quicker in new pipes. Most of what I have is aros anyway. This morning was C&D berries n cream in a Boswell big bowl then just now the Butz-Choquin Calabash had some C&D Autumn Evening. I am really getting to like it. Have not had any Anniversary yet. New stash of it just came in yesterday and probably needs some drying. It's now 55* and clear blue sunny skies here! I am spending a lot of time on the screen porch piping today while doing some laundry. Lucky me- more piping coming up!

Thanks! It sounds like you're having a great day; it's 13º with a wind chill of -2º here. Most of what I have are English and crossovers with a couple of true aro's and a couple of Virginias.

I simply got lucky and found a wife that likes the smell of tobacco. She says it "smells like men".

LNF mixed with a little Beacon Extra. Just what this blend needs... a little more perique.

It's a great smoker, never a gurgle. I do baby it, though. :r

Boswell poker with a mixture of Autumn Evening/1Q/BCA in almost equal amounts. I made this with leftovers when I was out of anniversary and others and waiting shipments.

Now I find that I like this mix! 2oz of it left almost so it shall get smoked!

Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader in the MM Legend cob:dr Really have never smoked this English blend until Jerry (Col. Kurtz) forwarded me a couple of bowls to sample. Quite an enjoyable blend. Thanks again for the sample Jerry. As soon as I save up some pennies, I'm gonna add a couple of tins to the collection:tu

Last night I had a nice bowl of a local blend from a shop owned by a buddy of mine (forgot the name) in my Peterson poker. Relaxing while watching Get Shorty.

He knows, but I don't think he has the heart to take that away as well. No NSAID's or very much alcohol, either; they thin the blood. My colon blew a gasket about 4 years ago and I almost bled out.

Sorry. I have chronic diverticulosis and almost bled out a couple of times. I think it's one of those things you get if the world doesnt figure out a sooner way to take you down. My dr said nothing about any of that stuff. Im supposed to try to stay calm (not happening much) and not eat certain things like nuts and corn. Was last in the hospital in Sept. I got deductions a plenty for this tax year!

Now to go smoke a bowl of something nice in the Comoys! :)

Yeah, that's what I have! I was last in in June. I had a quick bleed and it stopped but they kept me a few days just in case. That's when my doc took me off that stuff. The first time, in 2010, they removed two feet of colon. You might want to ask about it. My doc didn't say anything about corn and he wants me to eat nuts (chewed well) and other fiber sources, just not "pointy" things.
Oh, I haven't gotten the Comoy's yet, It'll have to wait a while, I spent some money on some Margate.

The.Sheepdog 01-14-2015 12:52 PM

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
They said they could take out the bad part but after looking they said I dont have any good part. Its all bad with the diverticuli. Genetics I guess. sigh.

Think I'm pretty much set in what I have at this time Brian. If I had extra as far as baccy goes, I would. Now, if you're interested in a new vintage classic zippo lighter, I can do that. I have several in the draw in their original boxes. I'd just have to check the bottoms for when they were issued...

Dr Grabow big pipe filled with 7th avenue blonde. I kinda like it now. It also lights well with the new lighter! :D

Bowl of Anniversary Kake with about a year of age on it. This stuff really comes into its own with age.
