Wallace Flake in a cob this morning, I can't get enough of the stuff.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Pembroke in my cob on the patio with my dog. Nice start to the day.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Stonehaven in a cob. Simple pleasures.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Started out with Wallace flake again on the patio. Seeing the last few posts though I may have to switch up to an Esoterica for my next. I may do some Penzance since against all odds I actually found two tins at my local B&M. Forget pokemon, I'm hunting tins. haha

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Balkan Sobranie. So good.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Had some Burley Kake with some blue mountain coffee this morning. Great way to start a saturday!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

^^^^ H&H Classic Burley Kake is good stuff:tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

2015 for the past few days in my new birthyear Capri.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Always nice to enjoy a particular blend for awhile Jerry:tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Christmas in July. Cracked open a tin of 2006 Christmas Cheer. Was quite pleasant. :pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

GLP sixpence in my new Rattray's Old Gowrie pot. Love the combo.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

In a few hours it'll be a bit of McClelland Dark Navy Flake in a fresh corn cob.

LJP #333 blend in the CAO meerschaum:pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Love CH but made the mistake of smoking it in my meerschaum which was a rotten experience. I forgot that my meer was last used for some kind of aromatic and it was ghosted so bad that all I could taste was a horrid chemical taste.
I immediately dumped the meer and switched to my Burly briar and WHOA what a difference. This experience made me realize the severe downside to a ghosted pipe.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

OGS. I'm liking this more and more...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

A very popular blend...

Just finished some Frog Morton Cellar in a Savinelli 320. :pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

How are you enjoying the FMC as compared to the FM blend?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

FMC was the crossover blend for me from aro's to english blends, so I enjoy going back to it from time to time. Other than FMC, I've only smoked On the town and the regular FM blend. FMC is my favorite of those 3. There's just something about that whisky flavor that keeps my interest.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

OK, brain fart this morning. What is OGS?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I believe it's Orlik Golden Sliced.

Doh!

I knew that as soon as I saw it. How foolish!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Yesterday evening...
Castello Sea Rock billiard with PS-LNF (Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake)

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Sorry. Golden sliced was correct. Now it's Peter stokkebye luxury bullseye flake in a new bent Capri. If there's a better basket pipe out there I don't know about it.

Penzance in a Chacom Alpina 28 with a custom stem. :pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Good to see that you came up for air bubblehead:D

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Yeah, it's been a while. The Penzance tasted a bit light but I also smoked a couple of CC's earlier. I shoulda smoked the Dark Star.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Got two tins of Peterson Special Reserve 2014 and being two years old in tins that aren't sealed it was pretty dry compared to most tinned tobacco. Smokes perfectly though.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

A couple of blends this morning:

Frog Mortons Cellar in the Petersen Dalkey.

SG Cabbies Mixture in the Charatan Makes Perfection 489DC:pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

First taste of C&D Morley's Best during the morning commute courtesy of Cthulnado. Good stuff, I'll probably put several oz's away for the apocalypse.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Some Firedance Flake courtesy of CoffeeWaterBeer!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Picked up a tin of Plumcake for the cellar once I smoke through some open tins. Noticed the seal was compromised, so Plumcake it is. Second bowl in a cob seems fuller. Good stuff.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Enjoying some Balkan Sobranie in a Boswell poker on the deck while staring into the darkness :pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

McClelland British Woods tonight that I got from CoffeeWaterBeer. It's tasty but probably not something I am going to pick up for my cellar. Which is a good thing... damn thing is getting out of control.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

So good. My current favorite.



I had some C&D Bayou Morning. Decent stuff. I don't love it, but it is OK.

GLP Barbary Coast in the F.Baki meerschaum early this morning...


That almost made me want to open a tin, but I said "no" cuz I need to finish up some other tins first:D

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

It is my staple, Mark. I keep it around.


I'm having Frog Morton ATP.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

How is that mark? I've been intimidated by reviews on tr.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Plumbcake in a bent Capri. Lovely.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Nothing to be intimidated about Jerry. I've been working an open tin dated 02/10/2015. When I first opened the tin, the blend was moist and had a wonderful smell of dried fruit (raisins, dates, etc.). Now, the blend is more tacky and pliable (which I enjoy for smoking a tobacco blend) and the smell of fruit is still present. I guess what I'm trying to say is, is that the tin has a good seal. The blend is a mixture of light and dark Virginia's with a topping.

I would use a small bowl for this tobacco, similar to the Peterson 303 seen above to start out (you can later upgrade to a medium bowl). Give the tobacco a good char light and tamp as you go along. I would just sip on this blend, and you'll notice it gets sweeter as it burns down to the bottom. You'll probably want to sip faster, but don't, and you won't have to worry about the Nic.

I usually smoke this a couple of times or more per month, and prefer it more during the Fall, Winter, and early Spring as opposed to Summer. When I smoke it, it is usually in the morning with coffee. Again, usually in a small or medium size bowl. Actually, I'm thinking about purchasing more.

So, if you're interested, shoot me a PM with your addy and I'll send you enough for a couple of bowls to try out:tu
