I use EVOO to clean the outside of my briars. It dissolves skin oils. Then I wipe all off with tissue. As you note, it leaves a nice soft gloss.Quote:

Just lit some Einstein in a smooth made in Italy Rhodesian. Drinking some Puerh tea for the first time.
Adding Latakia to a blend is like adding bacon to a meal :)Quote:

It was my first bowl of Red and Black (I tried a fellow BOTL's at the local shop) and it was absolutely amazing. I will be ordering some immediately.

CAO Black tonight.
Two questions - How do you like that Vermont Meat Candy? How does that pear wood pipe smoke?Quote:

Started earlier wit another bowl of PS Black Coffee in a Wiley short rhodesian
Now smoking a bowl of Captain Black original in the same
Drinking hot black coffee as is the norm
I just opened a 2+ yo tin of Fribourg & Treyer Vintage – a delightful operation. The aroma is scrumptious – this stuff smells good enough to eat. As close to an aromatic as you'll find in a straight Virginia. The color is medium brown, but variegated with flecks of lighter and darker leaf. Very pretty.
There are two stacks of neatly-cut rectangular flakes with no overlap or buckling. Moisture is just right too. And, unlike DF or Escudo, the flakes always separate easily.
And finally, the flavor of the smoke is wonderful – robust, savory, and a bit spicy. Wonderful tobacco, it is.
Fixin' to load up the big old Hercules 606EX as I wanted something with a "Super Bowl".....Tehe.....get it? It's Super Sunday and I wanted something with a Super (big) Bowl......Seriously, you must not understand as you're not laughing......Errrrrrr.....(Kaywoodie shown for size comparison).....

Yesterday was a bit hectic and I never had time for a bowl. So today I'm enjoying a bowl of Balkan Sasieni in a MM Legend and celebrating the birth of my first great grandchild, Naomi. She was 24 days early and is a bit small at 4 lbs. 12 oz. and 17 inches, but she's healthy, active, and has a good appetite. Attachment 6456

@Pugsley , I hope your a Falcons fan,,, I've loaded another bowl of CB in that Wiley you sent.
I think it's helping Ryan.
Oops, May have spoke too soon ,, Ryan just got sacked and fumbled
Actually, as a native New Englander, I'm a Patriots fan but there's just no way that trophy should not be traveling to Atlanta tomorrow. Just unfathomable how they managed to lose that game.Quote:

I'm really enjoying these McClelland Virginias. They have some stuff I don't care for, but when it comes to Virginias, they know what they're doing.
I'm thinking the defense didn't come back from the halftime show..... they're out partying with Lady GagaQuote:

They may well wish they'd stuck around to prevent the Pats scoring TDs.
By opting for that partying they may well have picked up some STDs.
Pipers are more thoughful and insightful , Sanity is a by-product. :dork:Quote:

having a little OJK in a MM Eaton. Maybe a touch higher in the nic department than haunted bookshop, but not much. definitely a bit spicier.
Had some Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake in a banded Dr. Grabow Berwyck.
Great lunch time smoke.
@Aguineapig , I'm planning on trying that PM Pipe this evening.
I have enjoyed the Virginia/Perique flake very much. It's a nice Vaper.
I have been on a McClelland kick lately.
As a matter of fact, I had a bowl of SG Chocolate Flake in a Barling Canadian while chasing parts and supplies around lunch time. Never did make it to lunch... too busy today. Ate a couple of bananas on the run like some kind of gorilla.Quote:

I have yet to try a blend that's too strong. I've tried many of the ropes and twists and quite a few of the other 'overwhelming' blends out there. 'Strong' just means you smoke less of it and smoke it slower. Now I can't load up a huge bowl with happy bogie and smoke it down in half an hour and I wouldn't want to, but a couple small coins in my little prince is just perfect. I think of it as 'economical': a little bit will go a long ways. So the problem as I see it is that you NEED to buy a new pipe with a smaller bowl :p :pQuote:

And for the record, I'm having some of @Haebar 's VaPer kake and it is EXCELLENT.
