What's in your pipe today?

Cracked a new (08) tin today! McClelland Drama Reserve. It had been over a year since I've added to the Mason Jar collection. I really like cracking a tin, which probably had something to do with how many Mason Jars I now have in the cellar(like 30). :rolleyes:

Oh, and the pack was enjoyable, too.

Now I'm eyeballing the Bufflehead tin ... :laugh:
 
Another bowl of CB in the Falcon, and then for something a little different, Billy Budd in an Aldo Velani bent Dublin.
 
Been smoking a lot of Virginia blends lately. Of what I've smoked in the last month or so, Briar Fox from Cornell & Diehl has been a standout. It's a great VA blend.

Great stuff! :thumbs:

I packed my GBD Brunette with C&D Exhausted Rooster today. The Kentucky burley gives this blend a unique sweetness and the perique just the right spicy couterpoint.

If I had to pick a favorite blender, C&D would be it.
 
I have always avoided Exhausted Rooster because of the burley. Not that I have anything against burley, just not in a VaPer. I may finally break down and give it a try though. It seems to be universally liked. I don't think I have ever heard anything bad said about it.

I last smoked some OGS which I now hear may or may not have burley in it as well. Who knew?

It only has a small amount of perique as a condiment. Not really a VaPer n the usual sense. Burley dominates the flavor.
 
McClelland Drama Reserve yesterday at sunset on the porch. Beautiful!

Gotta re-stock my oriental mixtures soon. :) It's that time of year when a pipe is the logical choice most times.
 
Breaking in my new Blatter with some PA earlier. Got some C&D Star of the East in a Sasieni going now while the new one rests.
 
Dug through the cellar today and found some '03 McClelland St James Flake.

Packed the Hardcastle to heaven! :p


P.S. Also decided to sell a few tins in the BS&T. ;)
 
I tried a bowl of Peterson's 3P that somebody gave me some time ago. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't something I would buy.
 
'00 Christmas Cheer in the GBD Brunette. Still my favorite CC although the '08 may be better when it has some more age.
 
I had to break into this year's Christmas Cheer today. This is the best fresh CC I've had, but I've only had fresh CC the last 4 years or so. I hope it ages well.
