Extra small Falcon Bowl for extra strong tobacco

I was smoking Samuel Gawith 1792 and had a thought that i
needed a extra small Falcon bowl to smoke it in.
Over the weekend i turned this tiny Calabash.
The good is that the walls are very thick and it should smoke cool.
I have smoked it three times so far and although there is no cake built up yet
it does smoke very cool.  

Quite a nice block. 

The bowl on the right is a standard Falcon bowl.
The top of the smoke chamber normaly 22mm
this one is 18.
The bottom 17mm
this one is 12mm.

Both bowls started out the same colour
No need to use stain.

Smoked by all Shrewd Judges

Orlik golden sliced.
Very nice presentation in the tin.
Virginia with a little Burley tobacco.
Easy to pack and light needs to dry just a little.
For me this tobacco is sweet smoking with no bite at all.
Great pure tobacco flavour a little over mid nicotine content.
If i was smoking it all time it would get boring quickly.
It is a great tobacco for mixing with.
I have mixed a some with a little SG 1792
calmed the 1792 down nicely and added interest to the golden sliced.

Up coming tobacco

This is the plug version of 1792.
I just smoked my first bowl of 1792 flake.
I inhaled and nearly spat my Falcon across the room.
I'm speechless.
And i thought that SG XX Rope was strong WRONG.
Tobacco like this a great value for money pure nicotine.
I think i will turn my self a very small falcon bowl to smoke it in.
It will be interesting to see what the plug version is like
at least i get to use my vintage flake cutter.

Mass tobacco opening

Well my plan of smoking a tin at a time experiment failed.
I was getting bored just smoking one tobacco.
So i opened and jar up eight tobacco's.
The Irish flake smells so strong.
Reviews to follow as i get to know them.

The Widow Maker

The pictures can't show how huge this drill really is.

Mr William Peter Sher (1902–1977) believed that tools imported from the United States of America were designed with 'inbuilt obsolescence'. He was determined that his products would continue to provide years of service for the home handyman

Today Lachlan came home with this in the boot/trunk of his car.
He had been to a garage/yard sale.
It is with out a doubt the biggest POWER drill i have ever seen.
It took both of us to lift it out of the car.
Australian made Sher  3/4 " heavy duty drill.
It sounds like a jet aircraft when its running and takes so long to stop.
Its in perfect working order its been kicked around a factory for a lot of years
but i don't think it's seen a lot of use probably to scared to use it.
There is a safety tag on the cord dated 1962.
I'm sure it was made pre 1950.
The bloke he bought it off said the last guy to use it
took it out of the stand mistake one.
He then tried to drill a 3/4" hole in a i beam mistake two.
The drill bit grabbed and because of the huge amount of torque this thing has
it spun out of control and the handle came round and broke his jaw.

The next tobacco

FireDance is Best Brown 6" Flake subtly flavoured with a combination of Blackberry, Brandy and Vanilla. The smoke is a mild, cool experience with the Blackberry the predominant flavour, the Brandy in the background and rounded off with the Vanilla. A mild and fruity smoke with the strength of Best Brown and a very pleasing room aroma.
Andrea said it smells like Turkish delight and rose water.

Smells like Bubblegum.

The flakes are evenly cut. 

Damp out of the tin need's drying time.
I packed up the Falcon once dry it is easy to light.
The flavour is fairly strong Blackberry but it diminishes as the bowl burns down.
There is quality tobacco in there but its hard to find it with all the topping.
The nicotine is in the mid range.
Recently i have bought a few lakeland tobacco's to try.
SG 1792, SG Cob Plug, GH Navy flake, SG Rum Flake.

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.
