"TSC's Master of Bourbon"
Once again I am at my favorite weekend hangout enjoying some coffee spiked with Old Forrester 100 proof and my pipes.
Today I am smoking a 2015 vintage tin of some really great VA/Per.
This tobacco is hard to find right now, but if you can find it, get it. Yum. It has a good amount of Perique to tickle your nose as you smoke.
I started in this pear wood sitter with wind cap from Mr. Brog. It has a military mount with a metal "stinger" type filter.
When that one gets too hot, or starts to gurgle a bit, I am switching to the Mr. Brog no. 34 Bulldog to continue the break-in.
It is smoking a bit cooler today, but I still have to take it slowly.
If I have time for a third pipe-full I am going to load up this Dublin shaped H.I.S. Italia.

Something like the following can probably be inserted into almost any pipe stem. However, there has to be room in the shank for it.

Both of my pipes came with those. I have tried one with and without in and couldn't really tell a difference. I decided to just leave them in case i really mess up and draw ash into the stem.Something like the following can probably be inserted into almost any pipe stem.

A filter like that shouldn't change the taste of the smoke. They should pull out a bit of the tar.

I didn't spend much time at the cigar shop in 2018 or 2019. I missed it and am trying to make up for it a bit.

Finally had a decent pipe smoke today. Filled the bowl with a Peter Stokkebye sample I had and was able to keep it lit for about 20 minutes with a couple relights. Got through about 2/3 of the bowl before it went out completely. I think I held the flame a little too close starting out and it was a bit acrid; overall not bad though!
I gave the English Luxury a try tonight and it was a pretty good smoke. For sure started to actually get some taste out of the smoke. not enough to pick out any flavor notes but enough to really enjoy it. I think I'm beginning get better at packing the pipe too.
Boom!

Don't sweat the relights. According to some pipe smokers, your pipe should always be on the edge of going out to get the best smoke. Just make sure to smoke it slowly and gently.
