Esoterica Ramsgate in the Rattray.

Packed this bowl yesterday or the day before. Can't remember what's in it.

Yakster

Smoking some Chelsea Morning over the top of some leftover from a pocket jar in my RNA Treasures car pipe after expanding the hole in the RNA Treasures replacement stem and funneling the slot at the bit with a needle file in a drill. The draw seems much better now, we'll see next time I smoke some flake or coins in this pipe how well it does. RNA Treasures used to have a web store, now they just sell what's left on their Instagram account.

ShawnOL

Half bowl of 1Q. Still breaking in the Ratray.

Yakster

Beautiful pipe!

ShawnOL

Thanks. There was no resisting buying it once I saw it. You know how that goes.

Yakster

Yeah, I do know how that goes.

Had a couple bowls earlier.

Sutliff Nougat in a Chacom Nougat.
Not much aroma and definitely no "flavor" in it.

I was also unimpressed by the "Nougat", expected more, something like, you know, nougat. Disappointed.

ShawnOL

I have to correct my post. After smoking a bit more there is a distinct room note. Actually smells better than the tobacco. Just wish aromatics had a little flavor to go with the aroma. I don't feel like I wasted the $20. Just not excited.

Trying out Irish Cask in the Baraccini from @Rdp77 , thanks Rusty.

Hope you’re enjoying it.

ShawnOL

I did. Pipe smokes well.

ShawnOL

Butter pecan smells good in the jar but almost nothing in the pipe. Disappointing since I have two pint jars full of it. I suppose I could mix it 50/50 with plum pudding or something else thats strong.

Was yours from sutliff? Could it have been old/dried out? I can send you some of mine to try, if you'd like.

I think it was Sutliff. It wasn't terrible, I just didn't get what I expected from it. So often pipe tobacco smells one way it the jar, another way in the room note, and tastes different than either. I rarely smoke any aromatic, occasionally do, though. I guess I just don't go for "toppings". Virginias, Orientals, Turkish, Latakia, Perique, that's my jam.

I'm the same way with alcoholic beverages. I want my beer to taste like beer, not the tutti-frutti kinderbeers the market has stocked its shelves with, if I go to a place that serves drinks and I want something stronger than beer I'll either go for a Cabernet, or Scotch on ice, possibly a good bourbon.

Other people are like "taste this apple pie whiskey" etc., or "don't you want to try an Old Fashioned?", things like that. Bleah! I can go for a good bourbon, even a good rye sometimes, but I want my whiskey to be whiskey flavored, obtaining the subtle notes from the aging barrels. And I just say no to tequila, vodka, gin. Colorless alcohol twists my brain and makes me lose friends.

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it.

I found that if the average non-smoker likes the smell of it…I generally don’t like the taste.

Yakster

That seems to hold true for me too, Rusty.

Warped Saint Espresso in my Michael Addis Dublin.

ShawnOL

Sutliff coffee in a poker. I don't think it really smells like coffee but it does smell pleasant. It may be due to the fact I'm drinking coffee atm.

ShawnOL

H&H smoky mountain in a Baraccini both from @Rdp77 , thanks, Rusty.
