Thread: Pipe of the Day

Granger in a mm

Well, I finished my tin of Opening Night earlier today. I decided to crack a tin of Briar Fox, from 2005. This is my first dance with this baccy.

This should be a farewell to a Peterson barrel shape. It is filled with my own mixture of a full English with cut up Cuban cigar aged together for several months. It has the smokiness of the English and the Cedar / spiciness of the Cuban. This pipe never was the best smoker- but I love the shape and may not actually part with it in the end.

Was it disco or a waltz? After being pressed and aged for 7 years I can imagine that time brought out all the best.

That is a really nice pipe Dolf. Love it. A Peterson you say?

After last night coming home to find there wasnt my usual 2 college girls but 7 in my apartment, I decided to start the day with Granger in a mm with a cup of coffee. Worked out well, my professor said the smell reminded her of her grandfather.

Yeah;
It is stamped Petersons Barrel on the bottom. I always wonder if the smoking quality is just in my mind (it is not bad- it just seems to produce a slightly heavier, moist smoke than some other pipes I own.) Never gurgles, just a different smoke from the same tobacco. They are not usually too expensive as estate pipes when you find them and they were not top of the line in terms of grade (if you look in the center bottom of the pipe you can see a fairly large fill- it is one of three fills of that size on the pipe.) It is a fairly small pipe and medium weight considering its size- but I really like the grain and find the shape aesthetically pleasing.

Unfortunately, last night was uninspiring. I have to smoke outside and mother nature did not cooperate. It was very windy and the pipe burned hot. Today is a new day. This afternoon, I loaded up a rustic autograph dedicated to VA's, and has a nice time with Ms Briar Fox. I had a short drive in the car, so no wind, and she delivered a fine smoke. This evening, she is burning well in same pipe, as it is very mild out tonight. Since this is my first time with BF, I do not know how a young tin tastes, but this one is very mellow. Slightly sweet, very cool burning, with a little nutty finish. A wonderful smoke.
