Cracking this one open tonight!

 

[Granite.Glasser]

Stopped by my local humidor today!

Picked up a couple of:

Arturo Fuente (Hemingway Series) "Short Story" / Perfecto - Cameroon wrapper - ...for for a brief midsummer night's dream!

Macanudo (Cafe Series) "Prince Phillip" / Churchill - Connecticut wrapper - ...for a long, full, rich, yet delightfully mild weekend!

 

[NurseDave]

Don't even need to knock the ash off those short stories before they are done!

This arrived yesterday! Looking forward to trying it out.

Where did you find that at?

I've been wanting to try it. But can't find it anywhere?

Just smoked some Esoterica And so to bed.

Was in the mood for some English flavor today. It was a good smoke.

 

[Fenster]

Got it in a trade.

Enjoying some GL Pease Quiet Nights in my Kirsten Regent with a meerschaum bulldog bowl. Tasty and relaxing.

Fall chill in the air. Burning a bowl of SPC Plum Pudding Reserve in my Kirsten Cavalier with a rusticated briar bulldog bowl.

Another great morning for a pipe and some French press. GL Pease Quiet Nights and my Kirsten Regent.

So I’ve got an estate Meerschaum on the way with a small variety of leaf.

What is the general recommendation for a lighter? Soft flame is good right? Will a Zippo do the trick? Don’t want to put out too much right away.

IMO, a Bic lighter and a long dull nail will do the trick. You want to scrape, but not scratch the pipe when cleaning. You'll need pipe cleaners as well. Yes, a soft flame only for a pipe.

I'm sitting on the patio, a comfortable 61 deg F, enjoying a Romeo & Julieta 1875 cigar. Just finished coffee roasting indoors. Life is good!

Think I've taken a liking to English tobacco blends.

Just smoked some Peter Stokkebye PS 52 proper english.

Will be getting more.

 

[Graybeard57]

great starter cigar and are typically pretty mild

Macanudos are another good choice, IMO.

I liked that one also, not my favorite, but a very good smoke.

What are some of your favorite English blends?

I picked up the Stokkebye proper english and C & D Pirate Kake today.

From the reviews I read. I decided to go with the proper english first.

What are some of your favorite English blends?

In no particular order:
Iwan Ries Proper English
Seatle Pipe Club Plum Pudding
GL Pease Quiet Nights

 

[ksblazer]

Thanks

I've heard the Plum Pudding is a good smoke.

I'll have to look into those 2 others that you mentioned.

I'm still fairly new to pipes so I haven't tried a very wide variety of stuff yet and I don't really have a lot of favorites yet. I do have and like the SPC Plum pudding. I also have an aromatic English from Sutliff, but don't like that one as well.
