It's been a long time since I had pirate kake. I'm curious to know if you rub it out a bowl at a time or the whole cake and jar it. @Captain_CallCaptain_Call said:I followed up with a bowl of pirate kake from Cornell and Diehl in my Missouri meerschaum general. 75 percent latakia.

I generally leave as much caked together as I can. I just brush the edges with my finger until enough falls off to make a bowl. It needs more dry time this way but I like the tactile process of creating a bowl at a time.Amos_Umwhat said:

That's what I did, too, but was considering jarring it when I get some again. I may just leave it alone though, I have plenty of stuff in jars already.Captain_Call said:

When we learned of the demise of McClelland tobacco last year I began to search for an alternative. Based on the description I bought some Comoy's #11, among others. I tried some as soon as I got it and thought, well, okay I guess, let's see what some jar time does for it. I'm happy to say that a year later it is much improved. Nice with a cup of coffee.WARNING: The above post may contain thoughts or ideas known to the State of Caliphornia to cause seething rage, confusion, distemper, nausea, perspiration, sphincter release, or cranial implosion to persons who implicitly trust only one news source, or find themselves at either the left or right political extreme.

Just finished one of the best pizzas that I’ve ever had at a lil Italian restaurant just across from the apartment in Istanbul...having some Pembroke in a little Tsuge Natural Briar. Everything tastes better and burns a lot slower in this little pipe. I wish I had 10 more like it!

Had some H&H Viprati in a Nording Signature while walking the dog. For the first time in weeks it’s nice out today.
I came back to leave the dog and reload the pipe and grab a cigar to have with dinner. I love Istanbul...here you can still enjoy a cigar/pipe at most restaurants

Had a bowl of McClelland 2040 Cyprian blend from 2014...nice and smooth with plenty of the smoky Latikia that I love so much

This made me dig out my remaining stash of 2040 and smoke a bowl of it in my new Stanwell Gilt Edge. I'm gonna miss that when it's all gone!dbeckom said:Had a bowl of McClelland 2040 Cyprian blend from 2014...nice and smooth with plenty of the smoky Latikia that I love so much

Steppin' out this a.m. with some W. O. Larsen Signature in my Stanwell Gilt Edge Dublin. The smell in the pouch reminds me of Amphora and Sir Walter Raleigh, which I used to mix together long ago. Really, really long ago. We'll see how this goes. Never had any of Mr. Larsen's mixtures before.WARNING: The above post may contain thoughts or ideas known to the State of Caliphornia to cause seething rage, confusion, distemper, nausea, perspiration, sphincter release, or cranial implosion to persons who implicitly trust only one news source, or find themselves at either the left or right political extreme.

Not bad. Very different from my usual Latakia / Oriental mixtures, which was what I was going for. I wanted something else, but don't care for most aromatics, especially if they're too sweet. It was still a little moist, some tongue bite similar to the old Flying Dutchman Pipe Tobacco, but then most of what I smoke has been jarred for at least a year, so I expect it will mellow out well.Amos_Umwhat said:Steppin' out this a.m. with some W.

Overall, I liked it.

Last night while enjoying a walk by the Marmara Sea, I had a bowl of Viprati with just a pinch of the McClellend 2040...WOW! The smoky Latikia in the 2040 added soooo much flavor to the Viprati (VaPer blend). I definitely need to find an alternative to my 2040. With dinner I had a 70/30 blend of SPC Deception Pass and Macanudo blend. That is a lightly aromatic English blend that I have grown quite fond of, and it is always a crowd pleaser

So yesterday I opened a new tin of Capt. Earle's Ten Russians and rubbed out a bowls worth into my little jelly-jar I use to air out fresh tobacco. This morning I packed it into my Stanwell HCA Dublin and gave it a try. Pretty good stuff. A little steamy in the mouth still, and probably not a good choice for an early morning pipe, before breakfast. Got a little dizzy. I think that some age will make this a great tobacco for afternoon walks.WARNING: The above post may contain thoughts or ideas known to the State of Caliphornia to cause seething rage, confusion, distemper, nausea, perspiration, sphincter release, or cranial implosion to persons who implicitly trust only one news source, or find themselves at either the left or right political extreme.
