Just smoked a bowl of PS301 Natural Dutch Cavendish in the liverpool I made (it had the correct bowl dimensions). I weighed out 3 grams and did a practice slow-smoking run while I was hand carving a Kuksa. Sad to say, I didn’t remember to puff and it went out at 25 minutes.....pitiful attempt. Smoking a pipe is still not second nature to me, I have to work at it.
Sad to see the wonderful three day weekend come to an end, but at least it was an enjoyable one. Currently smoking C&D's Morley's Best in my craggy Savinelli bent dublin.
Got back from Wisconsin at noon in order to make a picnic dinner to take to a music venue here in northern Illinois called Ravina Festival, where we had tickets to see Steely Dan.
Fantastic show, even without Walter Becker, smoked a bowl of Black Frigate on the way home, and am now smoking some of Sutliif's Queen Anne's Revenge in a smaller 1/4 bent Erik Nording Spigot pipe
@pwkarch, yes I have tried the Butternut Burley and really didn’t like it. It was a while ago so I don’t really recall the reason why, I do know I have tried it twice and no go,
@buflosab You know the old saying, "different strokes for different folks"......I get it. It would be a very boring world if we all liked the same things. I personally like Aro's, and basic Burley blends. Black Cavendishes make me very happy as well. As a general rule I smoke Latakia and Perique infused blends very seldom. Thanks for the comment. Funny, I just had another pound of Scottys' BB delived today. Our friend Motie2 turned me on to this blend.
It is a good thing we all don't like the same thing or we would be very dissapointed.......and just for giggles, I had a Pussy Cat named Scampi way back when......keep the pipe lit my friend. My Scampi waited for me to come back from overseas.....he was a great friend, the second of many Pussy Cats.
Bronchitis has put me out of the loop for the last 2 weeks. Had to go to the VA last Wednesday through their triage. Been taking 4 prescriptions for almost a week now and finally starting to feel a little better. At least now I'm not trying to cough a lung up...🤧 With luck I'll be back to my old self and back to my pipes by the end of this week...🤞 By the way, it was allergy triggered, naturally nothing to do with my pipes... Sorry being off topic...
Smoking a 50/ 50 mixture of Mac Baren HH Bold Kentucky and Burley flake in a rusticated Peterson system 303
I have a couple of these system 303s, I call them my commuter pipes as the size is perfect for a 20- 25 commute.
Have smoked a variety of blends in the 303s and for what ever reason (I think its because the draft hole is on the side rather than the bottom) flake tobacco really shines in these pipes.
And yes, I chose the pipe because of .RockyMountainBriar's post. which had me research the reason why; I did not know that today was the 120th anniversary of the third and final patent of the system pipe

Finishing up the last of my tub of Captain Black Classic in a Dr Grabow Grand Duke. Why does it always taste better as you come to the end of a tub?
At least now I'm not trying to cough a lung up...🤧
With luck I'll be back to my old self and back to my pipes by the end of this week...🤞

We all wish you a complete healing.
Feel better Marine.....Semper fi. Just do what the Doc says and you will be piping real soon.
Hope your feeling better soon.
I'm scraping out the last of the Captain Black Classic from the bottom of my tub. I'm smoking it in a new cob.
I had trouble getting on the site earlier. Apparently West Virginia wasn't part of the US for awhile.
You had a whole bathtub full of Captain Black😳.........😂😂😂😂
Having some MM Patriot in my Charaton waiting for the hurricane Dorian 🌀
