What are you smoking or What do you enjoy smoking (Pipe & Cigar Thread)

[ArcadiaGP]

Regarding cigars, only thing I've got in my humidor right now are some Rocky Patel Cargo Torpedos, some Perdomo Lot 23, and a couple Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Robusto.

Pipe... I nabbed this back in 2010. Don't partake as much as I'd like to. Really need to find some good tobacco to feed it.

That thing is gorgeous! I have long listed for that exact pipe, as well as the same style in the 626 shape.

Do you know what tobaccos you have tried?

Probably nothing notable. It's a scene I've barely dabbled in.

When I first got it, I think I picked up a couple cheap samples of things at local cigar shops. I'd love to dig into it more and find some quality stuff to try.

It all depends on a few things. If you have some money to spend and want something really really quality my friend Wayne Teipen (who lives in Indiana and is a gun owner - endearing) hand makes pipes that smoke like nothing I’ve ever seen. It all really comes down to the engineering of the airways. How much info do you want on this before I go down the rabbit hole? If you don’t want too much info, let me know your price range and I can make some recommendations...

Not sure how I missed all the follow up on my question. Just getting into it probably around $100. I know that’s not a huge budget but just dipping my toe into the waters to get a feel for it.

Smoker's Choice in Brownsburg . . .

Thats my go to place for cigars. Anyone wants to do an Ingo meet and greet, I’m in for a good cigar and whiskey.

I'm down! I'm currently working on my ammo can humidor and would like to start sampling some cigars before I start ordering some bulk.

A great selection of cigar brands for sure . . . If you can't find a cigar there, you don't want a smoke.

Count me in. I live about a mile from there. That's where I buy most of my sticks.

Pipes and cigars had a coupon code last week. If you spent over x dollars you would get 20% off and you would get some "freebies" if you are one of the first 500 to use the code. So I bought a new pipe and a cheap packet of tobacco. The freebie box came a few days later and blew my mind.

Thats pretty awesome! I don't like the look of cobs, but they smoke great. I keep 3 in my car for work, and I take them in the woods. Losing or breaking a Savinelli or Nording would suck. Losing or breaking a cob isn't the end of the world. And they really are up there with Meerschaum in terms of smoking quality, I find.

So my brother and I have gone crazy ordering McClelland tobacco. I've got a 50g tin of Black Parrot, a 100g tin of FM Bayou, and 2 100g tins of Dominican Glory coming. And I have every intention of buying more at the Briar and Burley tomorrow.

My brother has ordered about 3 times that much. I have offered him my couch....

I love having a corn cob in my Jeep for the same reason you do. O had one con pipe for 5years but it recently died so I was die for a new one.

Last night my brother and I scored the last 6 tins of McClelland at the Briar and Burley in Bloomington. 3 Pebble Cut and 3 Old Dog. He does have quite a bit of Nording tobacco in stock, which is made by McClelland under license. Also exciting was finding a large supply of the hard-to-find Esoterica tobaccos. I wound up with one tin each of Tillbury and Dunbar. My brother came away with a tin of Dorchester. For you Dunhill fans, he still has quite a bit of that as well. I picked up a couple of tins of Elizabeathan Mixture.

Last night I smoked a bowl of the Tilbury in a Sasieni 4 dot that was recently given to me. Unbelievable gift. The label on Tilbury is listed as a "Broad cut of extra mature Virginias." It certainly isn't a broad cut, and while the Virginias in it are good, there is a decent amount of Burley as well. And they are excellent. They bring that satisfying nutty cocoa flavor as only really good Burley can. The Virginias back it up with sweet hay and dark slightly fermented fruit flavors.

On to some Dunbar in my churchwarden for this morning's smoke.

This was only my second visit to the Briar and Burley, and it is head and shoulders the finest pipe tobacco shop I've ever been to. I'd like to visit Iwan Ries and the Country Squire some day, but I have a feeling B&B would give them a run for their money. Huge selection of tinned pipe tobaccos and cigars, and what must be over a thousand pipes. Easily a hundred Meerschaums, plus Nordings, Perersons, Savinellis, Comoys, Ascortis, Ser Jacopos and many more by the arm load.

Smokes great.... just like a Peterson always does!


ETA: Well, I guess I don't know much about how to add photos and have them large enough to actually see.

I'm a Peterson/Savillini/Stanwell man myself...Got a few and love them...They smoke well....

One day I may post a pic of my pipe table....I got about 60 or so...When I was working in Greenwood about 20 years ago there was a pipe shop there and I got kind of addicted to them.....

NICE looking pipe!

They seem to for me.

I'm hoping to get out before the end of daylight today and enjoy a bowl in the backyard while "babysitting" the new puppy.

 

[BigRed]

I need to start branching out and trying some different pipe blends.

I have been stuck for a long time on a bulk blend of "golden Virginia" and "black Cavendish Virginia".

Here's my go to tobacco shop...My ancestors been going there since the 1830's.....
