Robert McConnell - Scottish Flake

The flakes are perfectly cut.
A little moist just a little drying time needed.
I folded and stuffed i needed one and a half flakes
this pipe has a huge bowl.

Drill hole is slightly low but still well on target.

Pure red Virginia and that's it.
Smells like hay.
Easy smoking smooth pure tobacco taste mid nicotine content.
Very sweet and no bite a solid tobacco.

The next tobacco

Just finished the tin.
This is a very nice flake easy to fold and stuff or rub out.
Needs a little drying time.
The flavor is pure tobacco with a slight hint of plum.
Nicotine is a bit above mid strength so suits me.   

Dunhill Churchwarden

Hobo Hoot gave me this Dunhill pipe earlier this year.
It had no stem.

I turned a spacer from acrylic and fitted a churchwarden stem.
Smokes great but will get better when the cake builds.

From the Box: Nording straight grain 'B'

Unrestored, as it is from the box of 'one day' pipes. May actually get time to clean and polish it this weekend...maybe...

Early Nording, classic Danish pipe for the time - back when they were all establishing the 'freehand' style. For a while the stem shape seen on this pipe was Nording's 'signature'.

With a tobacco chamber that is 25mm wide at the top (sharp v-shaped chamber, about 3mm across at the bottom PERFECT drilling), 40mm deep at it's shortest point and with walls of up to 18mm - well...it's a man's pipe. And, it's incredibly light.

The next Tobacco

Vanilla Creme Flake by MacBaren

I filled my Stanwell 63m freehand up by
folding and stuffing.
My first impressions where good its smokes sweet and is easy to light.
As with most aromatics it smokes a little wet.
The taste is the same as there vanilla cream mixture.
Now 3 nights later and its all gone
Tried a bunch different pipes and ways to load folded and stuffed
loaded vertically rubbed out even cubed.
Flake is so versatile.
All i can say is never again.
At the moment i'm smoking a tin at a time start to finish.
There are some interesting tobaccos in my cupboard and on the way
from flakes, cakes and plugs.
Now the decision as to what to smoke next.
