''waiting for the Summer''...

I am smoking Briar Patch Honey, espresso plus cool water beside me.

Yay! That makes two humans in the entire history of mankind who ever have smoked Bluebonnet Spring.

Wife and I sat outside and experienced a 180 shift in the wind and 5 degree drop in temperature over half an hour. First portent of our upcoming stormy weekend! Smoking home blend "Eponymous" (an English).

Dunhill Early Morning Pipe - Capitello [modified].

That's a great looking pipe. What bits did you modify? Smoking a rustic Oscar savinelli this morning with capstan navy cut.

Sweet new Zealand autumn morning.. Finally some relatively stable humidity

Cornell and Diehl Apricots and Cream.

Thank you sir!
I work with the factory mouthpiece or i change it with another one from Jansen or replace it from another pipe that will fit to this pipe. I add a band or a ring according to each pipe if it' will make it look better. My ''goal'' for each project is to make the pipe more ''smokeable'' and looking pretty so each pipe is ''unique''.

Cornell and Diehl Apricots and Cream.

Any member who has read my constant disparagement of aromatic tobaccos may be surprised by the following: I truly enjoy C&D Apricots and Cream, as well as C&D Berries and Cream. These simply taste lovely, rather than tasting like fruit or cream. C&D's Craig Tarler found the perfect, subliminal dosing of these flavors that sparks happy feelings, without triggering recognition of a food.

Who is this and what have you done to Bob!?!

 

[deluxestogie]

The reason I mentioned the Apricots and Cream, etc. is that it sounds genuinely awful--to me--for a pipe tobacco. (Sounds excellent for an instant oatmeal.) Another plus for C&D is that, even though they too adulterate their tobacco with polypropylene glycol, the amount used is so low that C&D tobacco can actually dry out if you allow it to.

That's good to know - I will have to give it a try. (As you mention, the combination does not sound like it would be a good match for tobacco.) I just made an order for a few C&D blends to try out as I like Burleys and they seem to specialize in Burley blends. Unfortunately, this one missed out making the cart.

Last night's after dinner pipes: dedicated cobs for Blood Red Moon and Plum Pudding.

 

[deluxestogie]

dedicated cobs

They indeed look dedicated. You should be proud, as a pipe parent.

Good evening from Athens-Greece.
I am smoking Peterson Sherlock Holmes while drinking Paul Bur Brut Blanc de blancs.

I'm taking a break with my Red Train blend. I've been sawing log deadfalls with a bow saw, and pruning branches. Some of this is still too big to carry, so I snare it with a rope, tie it to my lawn tractor, and tow it to the brush pile. That Stanwell pipe sure seems heavier than I recall. [I may have a blistered palm on Sunday.]
