What Pipe or Pipe Tobacco Did You Smoke Today? [pics]

[deluxestogie]

Sid,
I appreciate your care in posting photos. They are always so lovely, and I look forward to them. The reason I asked about that particular photo was because of how surprising it was to see a pier, a dock and an outdoor cafe during daylight, with nobody there. But then, we know that you were there. I suppose my question was mostly rhetorical. Like any photo, it captures a unique slice in time.

Got a new Mark Twain in the mail today! I'm slowly but surely building up my pipe collection.

Looks like a friendly visitor is curious about my new tobacco as well.

Don’t let him Bogart your Twain.

Smoked one of my favorite blends.

Here is the recipe by weight, all WLT:

Stacked Basma 20%
Prilep 20%
Katerini 20%
Perique 10%
MD609 cavendish 10%
Red VA 20%

Out of all the blends I’ve made, this one is definitely the most “unique” in terms of flavor. Very mellow smoke and extremely aromatic with an almost “perfumey” taste and aroma. I’m not sure, but I think it’s the orientals that give it this quality. It burns very well too.

That sounds like an excellent, well balanced blend.

@Amberbeth84 … I enjoy the Ryback Regular and it's a STOUT smoke!

@CobGuy I couldn't agree more. With tobaccos like that, who needs cannabis?

A bowl of Nestled Pebble that’s been aging since April.

That is a beautiful pipe. And the tray is an interesting looking piece as well.

Dude. I really like it and I am fighting my ego's tendency to be overly proud about it.

Nice! I've a couple of recipes that include cigar leaf jotted down for some attempts at a commercial blend, but probably won't get time til winter.

Also want to sort out a pipe or two to dedicate to those blends, maybe a clay or cob, maybe not. Do you do that?

Allowances can surely be made for blender's bowl jubilation..

I'm a disgraceful pipe smoker. Half my stems are chewed off, and they are in random places at home, in vehicles, bags, tool boxes, work truck, etc. I am not quite sure where my pipe cleaners are. I use a welding rod at work to unplug my pipes. Having pipes vs specific blend would prove highly difficult for me.

My teapots, however, are a different story. Very regimented there.

'Dayyy from Athens-Greece, i am watching the movie Enemy Lines (2020), the movie based on the ''Alsos Mission" [Alsos is Greek word means Grove in english] but has so many historical and technical mistakes. I wonder who create these gorget patches on the left and as for the right picture, this is ''USMC Major Kaminski" and with that hair look will infiltrate to a Polish village [he speaks Polish language] to find local partisans while among them are traitors which collaborate with the Germans. For sure looks like a local guy and a Poland spy will not realize what really is huh?

I am smoking McLintock Syrian Latakia in a Breebia, double espresso beside me.
