Today's Bowl 12/12/05

Changing things up again. :innocent:

I had a very nice bowl of Esoterica Margate (http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=M&TID=495) in my 1/4 bent Savinelli bulldog on the way in today.

To me, this tobacco comes across as a lighter/less full bodied version of Penzance which made it a great choice as a morning smoke. It burned well and provided good amounts of flavor on even the tiniest sips.

My only complaint is that I could appreciate a little more smoke volume from it.

I don't think this works to well, not enough pipe smokers I guess...had some Frog Morton Across the Pond on the way home.

I smoked it in my new Savinelli dublin and it just doesn't seem as flavorful in that pipe. I may make this pipe another aromatic pipe.

I love Penzance, but I found out I kinda ground it with my fingers too much before I put it in the pipe. Too fine, made a mess and didn't smoke well. Now I know to lightly rub it and pack it. I will try it again tomorrow.

[Wasch_24]

Yeah, once it breaks initially I barely rub it out any more than that.

[Mississippi Rifleman]

You ever inhale that shit? Its not good. :barf:

[Wasch_24]

Never!

[Mississippi Rifleman]

I'm not talking smoke....the pipeweed! Fine grains + puff the pipe = :crytears:

[Wasch_24]

Damn, that would suck...never inhaled it but have had some pieces get on the tonuge after initially packing.
