Had a bowl of Panama Jack's Key Lime in an old Irish Second basket pipe that I used back when I was working. Still smokes like a champ and probably didn't cost over $10.00..
@Bentbrier — what brings you to Tulsa? I used to live there. The guys at Ted’s Pipe Shop in Utica Square taught me how to smoke a pipe. I still drop by a few times a year when in town to say hi to Mark and the gang. Ted’s widow, Beth, was a hoot when she still ran the store. She’d make her pipe pilgrimage to the Peterson factory in Ireland each year and bring home several beauties.
MM American Patriot in a James Upshall Tilshead bent billiard. It’s my first time smoking this blend. It’s actually a really nice English. Can’t beat the price, either!
I'll be enjoying a bowl of Frog Morton's Cellar in a Stanwell on my way to work tonight. The return trip in the morning will be a bowl of King of Swords in a Thompson Holland pipe.
A Balkan Blend I’ve came up with....it’s pretty tasty, but I used the spices very sparingly. I thought it was a VA/Per blend but I used FM on the Bayou like ingredients I’ve found out. Turkish, orientals, lat and perique in very small amounts. My base being Virginia.
I have been off my game for two days. Lol. Don’t wanna start getting sloppy.
Packing some TCS Baker Street in my Dagner Bent Pot. I may just have to jump up to a half pound of this soon since my half lb of Second Breakfast is almost gone.
I had some McClelland 5100...just a little bit. I also had some C&D Opening Night...just a little bit. Before McClelland went toes up, I mixed them together, thinking "I can always get more 5100". Alas, I think we all know what happened...
So I'm going to load up the L'Anatra Prince in a minute and reflect on the end of McClelland.
@KA9FFJ i can’t say that my palate is refined enough to pull out all of the detail, but I’ll give it a shot. It’s a rum topped aromatic, so the sweetness isn’t as in your face, don’t get me wrong, it’s sweet, but to me it doesn’t taste like straight sugar. By the end of the smoke a lot of the sweetness fades, but it’s delicious to the bottom of the bowl, which makes it a winner for me. It smoked quite cool, there’s were moments of puffing quite frequently without even a hint of tongue bight. I smoked it straight out of my jar as well, so it felt quite moist, but didn’t burn as if that were the case. Great aromatic.
