BRM in my Cayuga this morning. I loaded the bowl last night and let it sit and I noticed a difference - the flavor was a little better and it smoked cooler. I'm learning about drying time.
Yesterday morning, PS Toasted Burley in the Chacom. First cup of coffee in a couple days. Rearranging finances since adding 4 people to my household. Caffeine wasn't the highest priority. This afternoon, hours after a briefly rain - PS Bulls Eye in a Stanwell. Same for me. Majority of my stock is ziplock bagged and shipped, then transferred to glass jars. I keep a couple pipefuls in empty tins for easy pocket carrying. Seems to allow a bit of gentle drying.
John Aylesbury English Mixture in my first quality pipe from 1978, an old Charatan. Drinking from my WWII Museum coffee mug, and using my WWII lighter, although the WWII doesn’t show here. After 40 years of smoking and handling, this pipe has gone from the original natural finish to a darker brown with a nice sheen. I paid $17 back then for it, and have recently been offered $200 for it. Nope.
Some Ranier 71 LGF in my Rossi Rustic Author and Zaphod Bimblebrox. Delicious! It's a glorious fall morning! Reply
I love smoking a pipe under the covered part of my deck when it rains. That’s an interesting tamp. You’ve listed some tobaccos I’m not familiar with, got to do a little research on those.
+1! I'd like to pick me up one, but I'm not a fan of the figural types. That smooth cylinder shape would be the style, or maybe an egg or billiard.
I have a small estate meer that I am still getting used to. I'd like to get a better one at some point, but quality meers are very pricey.
I've only read about them. Don't want to get the cheap ones that are pressed together crumbles. Most I see are carved with a face, or an animal. sometimes a clawed foot or a dragon. Not knocking others choice of style. I'd want the smooth white but in a subdued functional finish.
