What are you smoking now? (PIPES)

[cj121]

I've not kept up but it sounds like things are happening. I'd be interested in the GQ thing if there's enough space. No dramas if not.

I am not sure how much feedback I could give being so green but wold love to get something that was still in production stage. It would be double cool (smoking being the first cool)

Well let's get a relationship build with him and we will go from there, and Chris you were my next port of call!

Dunhill Flake this evening, lovely.....but for once with a Dunhill tin, I wish I'd got the Mac Baren Virginia Flake out.

Cool as I'm a bit pants at giving quality feedback about the finer nuances of smokes as the severe lack of cigar reviews on here will stand testament to, but I know what I like and try to be subjective in the wider sense.

Well an truly got this sussed! Today was supposed to a cigar day after not having for 4 days or so but found myself reaching for the pipe instead. Had taken some out of the packet to dry for a bit yesterday and what was left after the bowl I had went in tuppaware box. Didn't think there was enough for a full smoke but a quick one before my shower. Put some in loose in the bottom then just grabbed what was left and basically shoved it in with a bit of a twist, forced it down fairly hard with my thumb then put the flakes that fallen on top to light it. Smoked great with only 3 or 4 relights. Still on the English Classic but think I am ready for the flavoured ones now. Well chuffed

Edit: What a great post for two thousandth one!

Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding, a very understated and subtle Balkan in a pressed slice form.... Not the easiest to get going but lovely once in.

Edit: First time retrohaling this..... Tastes like BBQ Sauce/Ketchup.

Giving this pipe thing a go again, corn cob and some sheets of tobacco Marc gave me, lets see if I can get it to work

[ValeTudoGuy]

That will be Mac Baren Virginia.

Sounds like this rooms really woken up recently. I'm definitely up for a group sampling. How do we proceed?

[ValeTudoGuy]

I'm waiting on Glynn to get back to me and then I will come up with something.

Even if nothing comes from that we can perhaps do a monthly bulk buy of a certain blend and create a thread for our thoughts?

Smoking a bowl of Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream. It's fabulously smooth and comforting.
