Thread: Pipe of the Day

Mick. It is a craftsman trilight. Just picked it up and then got it going today ... real good pipe lighter.

Just a rainy night revisiting frog Morton cellar blend in the Peterson. It behaved a lot better today. The blend is growing on me . I sill like Perique better at the moment.

From what I read its a Burley Virginia Perique blend supposedly Old Joe Krantz light if you will, not that I've tried OJK but I like the Haunted Bookshop.

It's my go to blend ..... really benefits from drying

smokingpipes.com has 20% off when you buy 5-tins of Dunhill tobacco. Just got the e-mail on it.

My buddy took me along on a wheeling trip this weekend to Lake Barret in El Dorado NF. Had some 3 Oaks packed if memory served.

Received my last September sale shipment of Cornell & Diehl tobacco today. Two more pounds of Exclusive and since it's getting cooler out and becoming Latakia weather a pound of Engine 99 and a pound of Mountain Camp.

Also got 8 oz of 965 to try again. It used to be my everyday smoke,for many years, but have not even had a bowl in probably ten or more years. Kind of excited to try it again, will being doing that tomorrow morning.

So I went down to my reloading room this morning with a cup of coffee and a Castello, filled with Dunhill 965, to finish up a project (no loose gun powder out, just the final crimp on some 45's).

Same thin long strands of tobacco as I remember. I really do like the Oriental in it. Is it as good as I remember, not really sure. But, is anything as good as what we remember it to be. I really think the last vestiges of tobacco in the bowl before that final little plume of smoke escaped the pipe, as it went out, was the best.

Smoked really well. Just a dark gray ash at the end with no tobacco left at all.

I'll be ordering some more.

Had to add a photo.

965 has renewed my interests in English blends.

Tried two of the new English tobaccos that I just received, both Cornell and Diehl.

The Mountain Camp is a nice fairly robust English with a good amount of Latakia. Very dry smoky taste, pretty good. Have a pound and a half so no need to order any more right now.

Engine 99 is also an English with Latakia, Orientals and Perique. I do like Orientals in my English blends and the added Perique is very nice and adds some spice. Will definitely be ordering a couple pounds of it at some point, I did get a pound of it and am glad I did. If you like the Orientals and Dunhill 965, this is a good bulk tobacco to try as it is very economical when compared to buying 50 gr tins and a little less expensive than Dunhill bulk.
