number correction - next should be 4266

4247 I believe should be next. Things got sideways for a moment

4248 - Dunhill Ready Rubbed in a small sandblasted billiard this AM

4249 - CAO Cherry in a small clay while compiling Jake's bomb list - thanks, buddy! This is a nice change of pace, I don't smoke a ton of aromatics. This is really a quality flavored tobacco. The more of a dark, tart cherry than the usual super sweet stuff you usually get from a cherry blend.

^ in my old burn up ugly cob that smokes so dang well I can’t throw it out lol

^ I like the strength of that stuff. It’s smooth too. Kinda dig it on occasion. I mix it with some of the other stuff at times. If you have a blend that doesn’t want to burn well. It usually gets things going also. It’s stupid cheap on cbid

^^^ nice, glad you like it, Jake. I try to have a straight black Cavendish tobacco on hand at all times. First blend I smoked was Lane BCA (Black Cavendish Aromatic). I don't smoke it often, but there's nothing like it when you want something smooth and easy going.

All the goodies I appreciate it’s just funny I specifically hunted for that blend.

Number correction

4274 - My # 2 Black mix in a small briar


I've found Lane BCA to be very smooth, but not tasty so I mix it with Smokers Pride and I get a tastier smooth smoke- that's my # 2.

Try again jake from post 4161 on - I give up.

???? - My mix #2 in a small briar

Jfkulp you do not start the smoke number with the post number - I know it's hard to figure out

I know I f##ck'd it all up.

4255 (maybe) Davidoff Flake Medallion in a small billiard with bamboo shank. I've had a couple similar tobaccos - PS Bullseye Flake and Comoy #4 - I think this is better than either! Gonna have to pick some of this up. Thanks for the sample, Jake!

4256 - Dark Burley with PS Cube Cut. Had a sample of straight dark Burley, tasted like smoking unsweetened dark chocolate. Mixed in some cube cut to add some sweetness. Been sitting in a jar for 5 or 6 months. Not bad.

4258 - KBV Robo Burlesque, it's a Burley base with chocolate reminds me if a high end Cater Hall - tasty

Sounds like a winner jp

4261 - My MIx # 2 in a small briar
4262 - my mix # 2 in a cob
4263 - Vanilla Custard Cream in a small briar

4265 - CAO Eileen's Dream in a briar with a 9mm charcoal filter.

Pulls moisture out of the smoke. I find that it helps a lot with certain aromatics. It depends on the blend - some are too light and you lose the flavor. Others need it and are less muddled, more nuanced when smoked in a filter pipe. I came to this realization after a conversation with an American pipemaker who lived in France for a while. Filter pipes are much more common in Europe and so are the type of heavy aromatics that benefit from them. He said after he realized that he went back and tried a bunch of blends that he'd completely written off and found that he actually enjoyed them in a filtered pipe. Eileen's Dream is made by Scandinavian Tobacco Group - it's a Danish style aromatic. Americans tend to try and let this type of blend dry out some. In Europe, they just use a filter pipe.

I've also found that I frequently get some tongue bite from blends that have a high proportion of Bright VA, like PS Luxury Twist Flake - filter takes that away.

4,266 - Robert McConnell Scottish Flake from the old Square tin. They changed it substantially when they switched to the round tin.

Glad you like it, Jake!

4,268 - Sutliff Ready Rub with my morning coffee
