Thread: Pipe of the Day

I read similar remarks about OJK that is plenty stout for sure, but it's my all day every day smoke. One smoke in, I'd have to say that the hype was actually pretty close on this one. It's a great tobacco and has that acrid taste to it that will make you say, "That's one damn strong tobacco!" If you're familiar with Five Brothers, this one has a similar taste but is easily twice as strong without the shag cut. How strong is it you ask? I'm certainly no nic wimp. In fact I'm ingesting nicotine in some form (dip and pipes mostly but the occassional stogie is not out of the question) most of the day every day. My initial assessment at least is that this is most assuredly a bedtime smoke. I ain't saying it's strong or anything but half an hour or so after smoking a pipeful I inexplicably broke a sweat and felt VERY relaxed (no I was only half a PBR in.)

To quote a famouse SNL line ....... "that's grizzled!"

First of thanking Mr. Moo for a tin of Dunhill Virginia Flake which I'm smoking in my First pipe and an old favorite, Viking sandblast bent. Went down to the tobacco shop tonight. Picked up a tin of Sasieni Balken Blend a a zippo pipe lighter. Pipe smoking is fun ........

Maybe it's just my dog**** photography skills. This pic is a bit better. Nah, you're right, it's grizzled! An absolutely fabulous old man pipe. Tomorrow after work I'm gonna load this bad boy full of Granger and get me a "pointer on fine tobacco" still one of the coolest puns in marketing history. See pic below the pipe. There's actually a pointer (dog) on the can of fine tobacco LOL!

Tried to smoke a pipe on the way to work this morning. Both my lighters were empty. Even my backup zippo fuel tank was empty.

HA HA ........I was actually referring to the hardcore tobacco choices. I like it, a man who can take the bite and bites back, now that's grizzled .

Okay then .....smoking some of this Balken In my Latakia dedicated Viking. I like the small note of Latakia in my Plumcake. This stuff is DEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMNNN ! That being said, It's okay. I would liken it to being like a strong sippin brandy. Whew lookout !

Balken Update : Okay ....that wath a weel tongue wagger of a thmoke . I think I'm high from this stuff ????? In fact ...........anybody want some Balken tobacco ? I'm spent .

Beautiful 65º Day+Balkan Delight+Peterson Meer+70's Punk=Helluva Smoke

Go Burley young man! It virtually eliminates cat tongue. If you dig a good Lat bomb C&D Billy Budd is just what the doctor ordered. It wouldn't bite you if you paid it. Continuing the liquor analogy- Billy Budd = A fine Cognac

My evening pipe was Granger in my new Petey
