You don't like the Gaius? I have one in the 141KS shape. Smokes just fine.This good for nothing Sav finally found a blend it likes. Bayou Morning (2008). Relentlessness rain but it’s smoking dry.
Peterson Irish Dew in a Hackert modded Mark Twain corncob this morning.
Not my best pipe. It can smoke wet and bitter more than my others. It’s a filter pipe that I removed the black plastic filter holder from. Weird though because if anything was going to smoke bitter it should be a high ratio Perique blend.
Capstan Blue Flake (2013) in Boswell. First time folding and stuffing. So good. I finally figured it out mostly. It’s so humid here that the flake never got dry enough but suffered no bite, just a little harsh towards the end. As a side note I bought a shit ton of tobacco in 2012-2013 while on sea duty knowing it would be several years before I would be on shore and able to smoke it. It’s paid off well and feels good to think about how far everything has come over those years.

What did you think? SG flakes are always way too wet for me to smoke straight out of the tin. I dry them down to almost crispy but still pliable to get them to burn well.St James flake in the Morgan Blackjack

I enjoy it, I let it sit out for a few hours then smoke it slow.

Some Capstan Blue in a Boswell Poker. I dried the flake out in the fridge today. It was a tad too dry but was still able to fold and stuff. Prepped this way it smoked a little hot still but less moisture and still no bite. Flavors were more hay and spice than sweet, although mid bowl there was a lot of sweetness for a few mins.
SG flakes hold their moisture well.
Nice area. Does it have a roof?PS Luxury Twist Flake in a Golden Gate poker.

Yes clear corrugated plastic, it’s my favorite pipe smoking spot!

I can see why. That’s quite the spot. I have the front porch in the summer, which is nice but the faintest breeze makes it difficult to get the full flavor out of tobacco. Once it cools off the garage is waiting!
