AHH, The first real post for march. Sorry nothing special PA in a MM cob.
As long as your still puffing your pipe, it's special!
Enjoy!
Here I go again breaking my own rules.
I'm smoking Paladin Aromatic Black Cherry!
Cry Havoc!
You know I just got some pipes in the mail that I ordered. I ordered a couple of corn cob, 2 meershaum, and a briar (La Rocca). The tobacco I am currently smoking is a sampler with Treasure chest (mild), My Pleasure(mild), Cherry Vanilla (bolder...Like this one a lot).
I actually just started and maybe got a little carried away with it, but oh well. I don't mind it. After being a smoker and cigar smoker,I have a feeling that I am going to be pipe smoker for a very long time. I love it!!!!
Everything's workin' today, and I've been partaking of a variety of blends:
P.A. for breakfast
C&D's Haunted Bookshop for brunch
H&H's Louisiana Red after lunch
McClelland's 5100 Va Red Cake this afternoon
Welcome to the site patriot. Hope you enjoy it and smoking your pipes. Remember to slow down and savor the smoke. Happy puffin.

Sunday afternoon, we went to Fredericksburg, Va. again, and I stopped by the tobacco shop.
I noticed that there were a lot fewer Benton pipes on the wall than there were last month. I guess people have taken notice finally. Anyway, I picked up a nice little Select model. It's about a size 4 and with only a few sand pits showing on the bowl.


For some reason this pipe has not been as friendly as my last. It smokes hot and has started to require more pipe cleaners per bowl. Also, the taste is a little different somehow, which is odd.
To make a long story short, I am smoking Middelton's Cherry blend in this one exclusively, so far.
I hope it turns around, as I think it's another nice little pipe. Only $75.00.
Nice pipe max. My old favorite PA let me down twice yesterday just a terrible experience both times I tried to smoke it. So bad I'm afraid to try a bowl today. I'll browse my stash for a different smoke, until then happy puffin...
Thanks Sapo,
Yeah, I don't know about that taste thing, Maybe because it's new. Once it get's broken in, maybe things will be different. Have a good one.

As long as you enjoy it.
Five Brothers in a cob.
Nice looking pipe Max!
I have found that sometimes the carbon coating in a pipe bowl can be quite foul tasting until it is completely smoked out. That can sometimes take a very long time for some reason. Did your new pipe have a carbon coating in it?
Welcome to the site Patriot!
Last night was some CAO Eileen's Dream.
About to watch the season premiere of Southland with a bowl of McClelland's #2015.
P.A. all day. Not very adventurous, but tasty for me.
I tried that "alcohol in the bowl" stuff. The only hard part was finding teensy ice cubes and olives.
rs422 had Five Brothers in a cob.
I wouldn't touch that one with a 2 ft churchwarden.
Robba-dob-dob...
Being silly, need sleep... or professional help! (Maybe a P.A. OD ?)

LOL!
Bob how is the eileen's dream pipe tobacco? I've had the cigar, curious as to how you like it.
I have only had one bowl of it so far, so I can't really say much about it. So far, so good though. The aroma is very nice, but I need to smoke a few more bowls in order to get a good feel on the taste.

P.A. in a GBD ΒΌ-bent squat bulldog. Gonna try some Vapers later today.
No Bob, there was no carbon coating on the inside of the bowl, so I tried pbgoldwing's suggestion.
I debated if I should use whisky or vodka. I settled on bourbon. I plugged the rear up with a piece of papertowel, and filler 'er up! I let that sit until the papertowel started getting wet, then emptied it. I did the same thing a second time, and let it dry overnight. So far I have had two bowls full, and no bad taste. Maybe they had a clear coat of something in there? Maybe just some stain or finish? I don't know, but it seems to be ok now. Thanks all.
Last night was some H&H Louisiana Red.
Today was some CAO Moontrance.
I bowl this AM.
G&H Dark Birdseye
Before bedtime, H&H's Louisiana Red in a Vesz bulldog.
