Cob Tuesday with my MM Cobbit acorn and my favorite Virginia.

Before work I smoked a bowl of Frog Morton Cellar in my DG Savoy,
had to hurry home for a repeat performance. That blend is something
of a surprise to me, much better than I had hoped.
Early morning smoke was G&H Black Cherry Twist in a Hendon billiard. Very potent stuff - it will get you moving in the morning.
Starting the day with Solani's 656 in my Caserillo
This might be a cheap pipe,but it smokes great.
I smoked some various D&R tobaccos mixed and pressed, in a German made Dublin pipe that I bought unfinished on ebay. Thin walls, and it gets rather hot, so I'm trying to break it in.
I am trying to pack tobacco, pipes and nasal snuff for a week long excursion to northern Maine/Aroostook county friday. Hopefully I don't forget anything important!
In a Vaper mood this evening so I'm having some GL Pease Sixpence in a cob.
I had about half a flake of Solani's #656 left from this morning.So I stirred it in with a flake of Bob's Chocolate Flake
and loaded my Swiss BBK. Very smooth and flavorfull,still didn't taste the chocolate but the burley came thru quite
nicely.Made me hungry.
Just started a bowl of FMC in my Swiss BBK, just the thing for some "Happy" dreams.
The wife took off for her mothers house and my boss decided I was getting too
much pay (less than 15 hrs this week). So I'm stinking up the place with Lat
blends. Currently Pipeworks&Wilke #524 in a figural meer. Good stuff for
a BAD day.
Smoking some Bijou in a Savinelli bent stack billiard.

I don't know why I keep getting these Photobucket notifications on my postings. I closed my account with them yesterday.

Chatham Manor in an egg shaped 3/4 bent Tally=Ho
Got in from work and kicked it with another bowl of Chatham Manor,
this one in a Randy Wiley Rodesian. Followed that with a bowl of FMC
in my Friar.Looking for my next smoke as I type.Thinking on something
sweat and creamy. Hmmmmmmm......Well THAT HURT !
I'm going with LL Dark Red.See Y'all ina bit.
Just had my first ever bowl of MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired in a Savinelli Punto Oro Mr. G.
I will say my first impressions of this tobacco is very good.
I've got a little Moonshine stack poker loaded up with PS Navy flake to keep me occupied on a 2 hr drive this morning... I'd post a pic but p-bukkit... you know....
-edit-
Turns out it's an 'Old Shenandoah' stack poker by Baraccini. Was looking at pipes a while back and forgot which one I actually bought :p :p
Have to to the Mother-in-law's today,so I'm beefing up with a little FMC in a Bruce Peters apple
Pot first.
Puffing my first-ever fill of Solani 763, White & Black. It's composed of Virginia, Black Cavendish, and Syrian Latakia. Very tasty, it is. I don't smoke aromatics, and I can't remember the last time that I smoked any tobacco with a Cavendish component. 763 is certainly not an aromatic, but it's a nice change-up. I'd swear that it has a bit of a salty flavor. OK by me -- I love salt.
Speaking of tasty, I made a durned good sandwich for lunch today. A thick hunk of braunschweiger on baked-in-Germany Westphalian pumpernickel. Plus sliced red onion, mustard, and freshly ground black pepper. Burp.
Ha! About time you broke your rotation and mixed in a little variety! :) Now we need to get you a little Sweet Rum Twist to shake things up even more :DQuote:

Finally got to smoke a pipe again. It had been a busy couple weeks.
Had a bowl of Sutliff R-blend in a borrowed pipe at my brother in law's house.
Not many men have a pipe smoking BIL these days. :)Quote:

I've had 2 bowls and it really hit the spot.
One bowl in a Dr. Grabow Berwyck and another in my Savinelli Series III bent apple.
I've converted (corrupted) two! Working on my brother and dad.Quote:

Went fishing yesterday so I had a bowl of PS Navy Flake, a bowl of G&H Glengarry Flake, and an Oliva Serie G, Special G maduro... and a beer of course.
Smoked a couple of bowls of burley flake scraps in a MMCG this morning. Now smoking a CAO Colombia.

Getting reacquainted with my long-lost friend, F&T Blackjack. Just plain untopped Virginia, but some F&T magic makes it oh, so tasty. A UPS delivery will leave ten more tins of this stuff on my doorstep today.
Started earlier with a quick bowl of Captain Black original in my Middletonian
followed up with Frog Morton Cellar in my Tally-Ho
Now loading a Bowl of Mystery Mix#9 in my Yello-Bole Nova Brylon Bulldog
I haven't smoked a pipe for some time - been on a cigar bender the past couple months. But a BOTL friend visited the Nat Sherman store in NYC while on vaca last week, and brought me back some NS 536 (English). We like. As this is a new one for me, I'll put a review in the review section shortly.
Update: here's the review.
I'm contemplating the wonders of the Universe with
EGR in my 1050's Monterrey
I'm A-Bing two Solani ready rubbed Latakia mixtures: 779, English Luxury Mixture, and 763, White & Black.
779: Virginia, Syrian Latakia, and Oriental. Mostly rubbed out.
763: Virginia, Syrian Latakia, and Black Cavendish. Partially rubbed out, but more chunks than the 779.
Both are tasty, and a nice change up for a mostly Virginia/VaPer guy like me, but after one A-B cycle, I'm liking the 763 better. The Black Cavendish gives it a very mellow flavor. English Cavendish, I think, as there's no vanilla or berry flavoring.
But I'll do several more A-B tests before declaring a winner.
Sam Gawith Navy Flake in my London made Ben Wade apple.
For the last couple of days I've been smoking many bowls of Christmas Cheer 2016, G&H Sweet Coconut Twist, and my burley flake in various pipes. I've been working on putting some of my pipes up for sale on Ebay the last few days.

Happy fourth!
