Smoker's Haven Exotique in a cob. For the ride home, my first taste of GLP Oddyssey in a GBD pot.

I have 6 tins of this sitting in the drawer for future consumption. Waiting for a package to be forwarded to me with the same amount of their "our best blend."

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I have a tin of that that I have yet to open. I am sitting on the balcony of a Marriott Courtyard in Macon GA enjoying some Dunhill Nightcap in a brand new MM nose warmer.

...:tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I love Samovar, that's the most stocked blend in my humble cellar.

SH Best Blend is damn good too, I've only had a bowlful at pipe club but it's on my list. Does their krumble kake ever get stocked? What's the trick to scoring a tin or two?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

PM sent...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Thanks Mark :)

A couple of bowls this morning:

MacBarens Scottish Blend in the Charatan Makes Perfection 489DC.

SG Best Brown Flake in the Peterson Dalkey 68:pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Bengal Slices-- First time with this one. It's OK, but I'd like to be a bit stronger on the orientals. Good stuff though!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I've only had one bowl from my tin Chip, and felt the same way as I remember. Needed a bit more "umph" to it. However, I need to get back into the tin and burn a few more bowls...

This morning:

Mid '80 Elephant & Castle Deerstalker (virginia leaf) in the F.Baki meer. Wayne (OnePyroTec) had gifted me a few bowls of this ultra rare blend from last year, and now just getting around to trying this. I like it!

'15 Match Walnut in the CAO meer, fresh roasted Sulawesi White Eagle coffee on the side:pi

Watch City Old Dominion in a bent Country Gentleman with Finlandia and grapefruit juice on the rocks.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Half my label fell off the jar, something kake '08 out of a peretti half bent. Super smooth

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Cracked a tin of 1792 flake with a '99 cellar date. Amazing how this really hasn't lost much strength in 18 or so years. The spicyness has decreased dramatically from current production stuff, still has the mouth numbing effect even after all this time.

As an aside these gawith tins cellar brilliantly in a cooler location. Really makes them draw up tight on the seals. Got that perfect air hiss on opening, which has not always been the case with some of my older junk.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Balkan Sobranie in the Corn Cob Nation POTY. Starting to hit the Balkans harder now that the hot days are behind us.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Plum cake from my GBD half bulldog, this might be my most abused briar. Certainly one of the first "real" pipes I got after getting rolling.

Still don't know why I jarred so little of this, hindsight is 20/20

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Ended up following the above with some more of the 1792 in a convoy sandblast. So good.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

8oz of "El Rincon de la Pipa" arrived this morning from 4Noggins. This morning, first bowl in the F.Baki meer:

2 year old Gaslight in the Sav 320ks. This stuff really mellowed out in the jar. excellent smoke.

Packed a bowl of SmokersHaven Our Best Blend in the F.Baki meerschaum. Can't go wrong with this blend that is made for SmokersHaven by J.F. Germain & Son...:pi


This is a great blend Seth...

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Mac HH mature Va, did two bowls worth this morning. Seems no matter what I do I get just a touch of bite from Mac blends.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

After my ebay listing got flagged, I cracked the Margate Tin I had listed. Holy cow is it good :)

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Great piping day so far...

This morning, SG 1792 Flake in the no-name bent billiard meer. This is a dynamite flake with a hellacious pepper blast. Thanks Chris (Sancho) for the sample bag. Excellent weed!

This afternoon, GH&Co Brown Flake unscented in the Todd Harris rusticated bent brandy. A nice follow-up. Rubbed it out and let it dry up some prior to smoking. One charring light was all it took, and the rest is history:pi


Why not!?!:D

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I simply love this pipe. :tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Davidoff Flake Medallions in the A.Govem meer. Thanks Chris (Sancho) for the sample bag of this. Think I was able to fold and stuff 4 coins in the meer. Really a good tasting Va/Per/Cav blend:tu


I'd overlooked this earlier... Thank you!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

This morning, a couple of blends a burning:

MacBaren' Golden Extra in the F.Baki meer.

MacBaren' Scottish Mixture in the no-name bent billiard meer:pi

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Glad you liked it, I'm about through the tin now. Maybe a few bowls left, it's not my favorite but it's a nice alternative to escudo for me as it's got noticeably less perique in the blend. I will say I'm not sold on again perique heavy blends, doesn't seem to soften much to me.

Did a small bowl of Mac mature VA this morning, nice smooth smoker.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

This afternoon in the no-name bent billiard meer:pi

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...psjvgqrwnu.jpg

What I enjoyed the most from this Davidoff blend was the deep chewy dense flavor and aroma. I'm sure the Cavendish has something to do with the smoothness it provides to the coins. If it comes up for sale at some point in time somewhere, I'll definitely have to purchase a number of tins to cellar away:tu

Erinmore in a wellington system leftover from yesterday.

Finally, the BABOTL' shared a little rain water with us here in the SoCal area:D Thanks all! Rain clouds still hanging around here in the Valencia area, and the rain has taken a brief break.

Packed some GLP Barbary Coast in the F.Baki meer, with a cup of Cafe Bustelo on the side...:pi:cf1
