Yes, it is me. Why do you ask?

It is actually an old picture, but on that date (12/20) I was smoking the pipe pictured there with Christmas Cheer '04.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Looked different from the profile pic I see - but to be fair, its with a jacket, hat, etc :-)

I worked on some Virginia's and trying to not burn my tongue, Peretti Ampersand for the VA, and some 333 for the Burley (different pipes)

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

I've got some McConnell Red Virginia in a savinelli that I loaded yesterday. We'll see how it burns in a bit

howdy, pipers

Nothing in my bowl today, but I'm planning on dusting off my pipes again soon

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Hey Tim! Long time!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

In the process of dusting off some pipes as well after perusing cigar prices. A couple restored Kaywoodies to be exact with a bowl of H&H Marble Kake 8/16 and PS Navy Flake 1/06. Both good smoking 'baccy.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

No picture, but some Samuel Gawirh FVF Burnt Ends in a smaller no-name flake pipe. If you have heard anything about this stuff, it sold out very quickly when it was released, but I managed to grab a couple ounces. I cut off what I thought would be flakes off of the end of one, I must admit it was a bear to try and rub out. It ended up more as small cubes in the pipe. It was tough to get burning and keep lit. The flavor however, was rich and sweet.

They will be more experimentation with this in the future, but I must admit a little frustration with my first experience.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

G&H Bright CR flake in a Weingott Brandy. Great straight VA blend with very little soapiness on the back end.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Mixed some McClelland No.27 VA with SG Golden Glow to tame the brightness which is a bit much who's preference strays from straight VAs. Worked well for me and was enjoyable in a Sav seconds poker.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Went back to large bowl brandy for a few bowls of C&D Pegasus. Never was a fan of most burley blends but was impressed with this one.

Sunshine after the snow. I’ve burned a couple through this new Bones bowl.

What the hell is snow .. i think it was 80 here the last couple days-(P

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Wow! Nice coloring taking place on that meer!

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Thanks, I'm not really spreading out my smoking i have a couple other nice beers should be working on but this is the right size, a shape i love and it smokes beautifully so i just keep refiling it, i will have to make an effort and put it back on the rack and pull down one of the others and start to smoke that.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Gawith & Hoggarth Cherry Cream Flake that the Rev had sent me for a blind review a while back. Wife appreciated the aroma and was a nice puff.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Some 2008 FVF in .... the Dragon Meer! I usually smoke the same blend the the day or however many days then switch it up for a day or two.


Side note, discovered today that another Team Lead i work with is close friends (well he and his wife) with the woman that runs Cup o' Joes.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

You still have some of that? Wow!
Mine is all gone. And now, it is pretty much unavailable.
I am not too disappointed. I normally do not smoke **ANY** aromatics, so that was only for a change of pace. I don't really miss it except when maybe it comes up in a forum like this. And even then, I only miss it in a whimsical sort of way - not a craving sort of way.

Enjoy it!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Thanks for the leaf to review Rev. I didn't notice any Cherry except for the faint room note. The Lakeland effect could be the reason the topping didn't shine through.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

McC 2007 Christmas Cheer.......straight VAs aren't favs so mixed with some C&D Pegasus burley blend and a dash of Green River Vanilla to sweeten the pot.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

My daily smoke, all those blends on the shelves in the bins and 99.99% I'm smoking this, in an D.P. Ehrlich meer carved in the Boston shop front window in the 1960s .

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Picked up a couple estate meers on flea bay, first pipes I've boughten in several months, I'm over briar and just moved on them them, this was the first one delivered, $60 offer made and accepted, very very happy with that. Some 2018 Wessex Dark Flake is the first bowl for me.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

That's a pretty stellar looking pipe! Should darken nicely. Congrats, Adam.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Was surprised they accepted my offer of $60 not that it was that much lower than asking. My first Oom Paul meer and was very happy that it passes a standard pipe cleaner so easy.

Have one more arriving today, extra large meer with some coloring already started, it's the one I'm more excited for.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

Haven’t been here in a while, been active on New Age Pipe Smokers (NAPS) on FB, great pipe group.

Adam the meer is coloring in Nicely! Tonight Savinelli Doblone d’Oro (a seriously slept on blend VaPer with Burley and Kentucky in broken coins) in my My BriarWorks C52 this stuff is delicious haven’t had it in a while similar to Solani Silver Flake but better in my opinion!
