Having a another bowl of this CCC (Consolidated) Ready Rubbed in a Sunrise Featherweight Apple. I'm disappointed with this tobacco; will have to blend it with something else to make use of it, probably latakia.

Agree! Escudo is excellent, but DNR is simply regal -- fit for a king. I have 25 more tins of it on the way from SmokingPipes.Quote:

I walked over to Bristol Farms today to have lunch at their excellent buffet. And, thanks to your prompt, I bought a bottle of port -- Fonseca 10 yo Tawny. I don't usually drink adult beverages until after supper, but I couldn't wait to try it. I can now attest to the fact that it goes very well indeed with Solani 633, Virginia with Perique.Quote:

Had a bowl of some Prince Albert during my lunch hour. Just finished another bowl of @Bruck 's Peach Latakia flake in a Dr. Grabow billiard.
G&H, Bob's Chocolate Flake in a MM Country Gent (with a glass bottom and 4 1/2" Forever stem)
BCF is from 2012 and had been stored for about 4 years in a quart mason with the lid disk inverted. Took that long for the rose geranium stink to dissipate. Quite an enjoyable blend now :p :p Fresh, it tasted like Ivory soap IMO.
Nice looking pipe you have there sirQuote:

G.L. Pease Embarcedero in a French brandy, really getting broken in and smoking well. This was a nice smoke.
Just packed my last flake of SG St. James Flake in a Savinelli Champagne bulldog.
Also on my computer, going to smokingpipes.com to order a 250g box of St. James Flake. :pipe:
Having my last bowl of this 2011 Stonehaven. It sure is good and it stays lit. Smoking it in a Group 4 Dunhill Shell billiard that I got on Ebay. During lunch I had a bowl of Prince Albert in an Albert John straight apple.
GBD Country Club and trying out some John Bull in a that I received in a CI or Pipes & Cigars special. I received 3 pouches of tobacco for a few dollars. Whatever it was, it's been a decent value as all of them are quite smokeable to my un-refined palate......
Attachment 6573
Rattray's Charles Mixture in a Collegiate small billiard with saddle bit.
Smoking a bowl of my first burley flake in a Dr. Grabow Crown Duke Dublin. The pipe had a frozen stem but smoking it heated it up so that I was able to get the stem off and lube up the tenon with some beeswax.
Started the day with
MM Dagner Poker & Viprati

Sipping Solani 633. I love this light, crisp, and tasty vaper. Well worth the premium price.
That's a beautiful pipe!Quote:

Smoking another bowl of burley flake scraps in a group 4 Dunhill Bruyere Canadian.

Milan Tobacconists Anniversary Blend in a Willard small straight billiard.
Finishing the evening off with some Robert McConnell Oriental in a London made Ben Wade apple.
Last night I had two bowls of Sutliff Blend #5, the first in a Savinelli Silver billiard and the second one in an old, worn group 4 Dunhill billiard.
http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...pscu9ld78p.jpg
Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake in my smooth straight Irish Second
Having another bowl of SPS Blend #5 in an old Dr. Grabow; trying to unfreeze the stem. I really like this blend; it's a smooth English with good flavor and good burning characteristics.
A bowl of G.L. Pease Temple Bar in a Grabow Golden Duke.
It is good, but I think I've decided it is not for me.
I have 2 tins up for trade in the Sell/Trade page.
Friday's smokes were as followed:
Started the day off:
Savinelli Trevi 320KS & Old Joe Krantz
http://i.imgur.com/norgFWo.jpg
Mid afternoon smoke:
Dr Grabow Omega & McClelland 5100 Red Cake ( got 8oz in the mail today, so I didn't have to break into the cellar)
http://i.imgur.com/NdNKZWS.jpg
Had a nice 858 after dinner, then finished the evening off with:
2016 PSF POY Bent Egg & More McClelland 5100 Red Cake!
http://i.imgur.com/uPIX9mT.jpg
Puffing a fill of that 5 yo Royal Yacht that I discovered awhile back. It's going down pretty good, but it's giving me the hiccups. It's potent tobacco. Hic.
So far had some LTF in the MM Dagner Cob & some OJK in the Kaywoodie Saxon.
Have some Red Cake out drying a little for the next smoke, just haven't decided on the pipe to use.

Think I'll have some Dunhill Dark Flake now.
Smoked some SPC Mississippi River in a bent Dunhill billiard Shell. I wasn't impressed with this blend. Even though it has a 3.3 rating on TobaccoReviews.com, there was something about the taste that threw me off. To each his own.
Puffing my weekly fill of ten yo FVF, in my little Dunhill group 2 2110 Liverpool with Bruyere finish. The Liverpool is essentially a billiard with a longer shank and shorter bit -- more briar, less vulcanite to keep nice.
Soon off to Kaiserhof, my favorite San Diego restaurant. Since it's Easter Sunday, likely roast lamb with mint jelly!
Back from Kaiserhof, and now sipping Solani 633. Instead of the lamb shank, I had shrimp-stuffed crab -- it looked too good to pass up.
