PA, Cairo, and Old Gowrie.

Old Gowrie is very good tobacco. I have had several bowls and they've all been excellent. It is pretty strong on the nicotine for me, though.

I just finished a bowl of Haunted Bookshop. Never disappoints me.
 
A buddy turned me on to C&D Night Train. It has a sweet and sour taste that I always like in cigars and it's good in a pipe, too. The sweet is a caramel with a hint of vanilla.
 
Prince Albert Cherry Vanilla :D But I just bought my first pipe and am trying to learn how to pack it and see if I like it. I like the feel of it so far, but I'm only one bowl in.

Just wait until you try some of the great tobaccos out there! I always just bought stuff at the B&M like Borkum Riff, Cap'n Black, etc. But it was eye opening trying all the stuff recommended here in this forum. I'm hooked!! :D Now I have to get a decent pipe, too. ;)

Pulled out an old tin of Presbyterian Mixture, packed a bowl into my Boswell 10 gauge. Been a while since I'd smoked this blend. It has aged well. Very clean, and flavorful.

Had a bowl of Christmas Cookie this morning. First pipe action in probably 5 months.
 
Smoked a couple bowls of the old drug store blend Kentucky Club Continental. It burned well, tasted pretty good and had a nice aroma.
 
I compared St James Woods to St James Flake. Both VaPers but not the same, of course. The SG was a softer, finer flake and burned, packed, and tasted differently. I preferred it to the McClelland but liked them both.
 
I smoked some haunted bookshop yesterday for the first time. It was great! I am not that great at describing what I taste, but I’ll give it my best shot:

It seems like this is a very complex blend. All of the different leafs seem to be integrated with each other very well. Almost as if I am tasting each flavor all at once, instead of bursts of different tastes (not sure if that makes sense). It is a fairly intense smoke, I had to make sure I wasn’t over-puffing on it, and letting it burn too hot.

Overall, I am glad I bought an 8oz tin!

It is much more complex than many give it credit for being. I really enjoy Haunted Bookshop, but if you smoke it too fast it tastes like cigarettes (common occurrence for me with burley blends). I also like my burley blends to be a good bit drier than most other blends.

I had a bowl of Boswell's Sweet Tea last night. I like this blend more each time I smoke. The light citrus notes in this tobacco make it really great. I may need to get some more of this blend. :)
 
Had some Penzance in my brand new Boswell last night. Fantastic, both the bakky and the pipe!
 
The only VA/per I seem to like, Kajun Kake in a fairly new Zenith ceramic pipe.

I bought the pipe at a tobacco store for $25. On the front of the bowl they glazed this quote..... "A gift for the U.S. Tobacconist to experience the cool, dry smoke you get from my double-walled Zenith pipes." Then it has the makers signature under that. Meanwhile, it smokes like the quote says's.

That pipe sounds interesting. Got any pics?

Too damn windy for a pipe today...

I'll have to take a better picture, but here's a shot of my cabinet with pipes (last white pipe on top shelf). You can get the basic idea. I did a search for Zenith, but can't find too much about it. LINK to my Gallery

BTW: Today I smoked some Rattray's Red Rapparee. A great tobacco with a very cigaresque profile to it. I'm glad I bought 100g tin. I could smoke this everyday.

Josh hooked me up with a few nice samples this weekend from his latest score. The Westminster is awesome, looking forward to the Squadron Leader tonight.
