Sometimes I like to read reviews of a tobacco while smoking it and see if I can detect all the flavors that those with more discerning palates than my own find. I have chosen as my final pipe of the day H&H Anni Kake, a blend that I thoroughly enjoy and find no flaws in. So I went to TobaccoReviews.com and was scanning the posts when I came across one that gave it a one star rating. In the post the reviewer compared it to burning tires and spilled diesel and went on to say it turned his pipe into a "goopy mess". Under similar blends he listed Prince Albert and Carter Hall but said they were both far better than Anni Kake. He also stated the tobacco was in a bag and he purchased it at a cigar shop. Makes me wonder just what was in that bag.
Frog Morton's Cellar in a Marxman straight bulldog
Sir Walter Raleigh in a smooth three quarter bend 1979 Ben Wade Golden Matt freehand sitter with a brown pearl acrylic stem.
Heine's Blend in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem.
It's not a new idea by any means. I remember others here pursuing the same goal, that is to finish smoking all of the small quantities of tobaccos in baggies that I have accumulated. They are mostly tobacco blends acquired from bombings from all the generous bums here over the last couple of years. Other baggie lots are leftover from when I jar up a quantity of tobacco and just can't fit anymore in the jars, then it goes in a baggie and then into a quart Mason jar. Anyway that's what I am doing. Last night I had a bowl of Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut in a Stanwell Deluxe billiard. I really enjoy this blend!
YEA!! It's the weekend!! What? You say it's not? Well I've two days off
and no where to be.Going to do some yard work,and a little plumbing.
Might even watch a soap opera,,,,,,,NAAA,that aint gonna happen. I am
going to do some reading and I've a pet project to fiddle with.And best of
all ! I've a cob full of CB original to start with and some really good choices to
follow up with.:yes!::pipe::pipe::stogie::pipe:
Half way through this bowl of Peretti’s Thanksgiving Blend in a sienna toned slightly etched 1979 signed Rossi 1886 Visconte 245 Oom Paul with a ring around the middle of the shank and an amber acrylic stem. A bottle of Mist Twst is my drink.
Continuing the break in process on my Mastro De Paja Classica with a bowl of Carter Hall and a hot mug of moca java.
Part way through this bowl of Stonehaven in a 1998 smooth medium bend Peterson Limerick 69 with a nickel band with a black vulcanite p-lip stem.
St. James Flake in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit.
MacBaren Old Dark Fired, rubbed out in an imperial 2 point. Good stuff! I haven't dipped into this blend in a long time. This is a flake I prefer rubbed out. Just not near enough flavor folded and stufified.
Back to HOTW, this time in a MM Diplomat with a short black and gray marble Forever stem. I wish these stems were still being produced, I'd like to have few more of these shorties.
As far as I know, they are.Quote:

Thanks, last time I checked they hadn't produced any since April and didn't know when they would again. It appears they have them now.Quote:

Last time I 'needed' (we all know pipe accessories are needs) a Forever stem, I called them and the guy on the phone told me what was available and I picked from that.Quote:

Have you tried the Ready Rubbed version? If so, what are your thoughts?Quote:

I always go for the biggest lump so I can monkey with it myself :D The exception of course is when the 'same blend' isn't really the same blend - like G&H Black Irish X and Black Twist Sliced; supposedly the 'same tobacco' according to a few retailers but the sliced is topped with something delicious and the rope is not.Quote:
