What PIPE tobacco are you smoking, winter 2013

[ErichPryde]

I don't know about you guys, but on these cold winter nights, there's not much better than a pipe warming up in your hand. What pipe tobacco are you smoking?



I'll start it off with this: I went over to a friend's the other night, and we enjoyed some un-named english he had that had been in a humidor for a while (the cedar was a very interesting touch!) and then I finished off the night with a bowl of W.O. Larsen signature blend in a W.O. Larsen Pot.

Bourbon pairs wonderfully with smoke of any kind, and the other night was no exception- I had a mixture of 50% woodford double-oaked and 50% ERSB 90 with a flamed and crushed orange peel to compliment my bowl.

I will generally stay with an English like Squadron Leader. Years ago I also enjoyed an American blend called Walnut which is an old brand in the English style.

My local tobacconist has a really delightful maple walnut blend. Unlike so many aromatic tobaccos, the maple and walnut flavors really come through while smoking.

I'm about to have a bowl of Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey tobacco with a dram of KC. Last night I smoked some with a dram of WT101 Rye...the pairing was sublime. :bandit:

Usually Five Brothers (very quick smoke), Samuel Gawith Commonwealth, or Samuel Gawith Skiff.
