BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
What's in your bowl today

Trying out my first bowl ever from javajunky's clubbing of a pipe newb trade. Some 4 Noggins harvest moon in a briar. tasty stuff so far. I'm definitely enjoying the act of smoking a pipe in general so far, it's very relaxing and just has a feel to it I haven't experienced from other forms of smoking. All in all a great experience.

One more day of the 2010 Penzance from andysc83 in my javajunkie Zavvos special.
This little guy is going to force me to work on slowing down 'cause it smokes hot!

I'm worried I'm going to crack it! The briar is pretty thin so it got hot fast. That being said, I think I'll increase its use in the rotation as its going to force me to slow down and will probably make me a better/more technical smoker long haul...

honestly, they work for me with flakes, fold and stuff. run some of this month's stokkeby through it, and pace yourself, it might surprise you...
then again, you want to make it an english blend briar, those blends usually burn cooler anyway, which would help. o)

Enjoying some Mississippi River. Gonna be a hot one today
smoking some peter stokkebye luxury navy flake this afternoon while watching vids on how to restore estate pipes. This is my third bowl of it and so far I really dig it. It's a little light for my taste but the flavors are there and I seem to have much better luck packing a bowl with flake. The journey continues ....
I didn't like it at first light up, too spicy. Then half way down it mellowed and got good.

MacBaren Vintage Syrian in my 320. I really like this blend. I think my tastes are snobbish towards Syrian latakia. I lo rd Samovar which is also Syrian latakia blend. I need to buy a pound or two of this Vintage Syrian.
Glp gaslight in my church warden cob. Still not sure if I like it. Should have dried it out a bit more...
I wasn't a big fan of it also. I might buy a couple more tins to age and see how the one I have develops and check it again in six months. The GLP lat heavy blends are not my favorite among lat heavy blends.
