What's in your bowl today

Well, I'm done. Tried twice today. Two different pipes, two different baccys (ESO and so to bed and ps navy deluxe). Both times I tried the finger over the top to keep the cherry stoked, which worked to keep it from going out so long as i kept up a nearly constant rate of puffing every 10-15 seconds. Gurgle set in nearly right away, within 15 minutes. I'm done. Just too damn frustrated.

Was literally just about to pm you lol, incoming ...
Hate to hear someone getting frustrated with a hobby. I know a lot of people here have been giving recommendations but I don't think I've seen anyone mention the "breathe technique". You should be able to find some info on YouTube. This is pretty much the only way I smoke lately, works well while I drive.

Try some ribbon cut baccy. Seems i have a much easier time keeping those smoking as opposed to flake even when its rubbed out.
Agreed, I love the flake type due to the big flavors, but can't keep most lit worth a damn. Shag or ribbon burns much better.
PS LBF in a Stanwell, a well aged sample from a friend. Definitely much better than when fresh, but there is just something with the Stokebbye flakes that leaves a sharpness on my palette I don't like. Time for me to move on from these.

War Horse ready cut in the country gent with some black coffee to start the day. Happy Easter for those who are of the kind to celebrate it and for those who don't have a great day!
Lane Ready Rubbed in a bent Pete silver spigot. This is a pretty good burley blend. Took advantage of P&C's sale a couple of weeks ago that came with a $5 gift card just because. It has turned out to be a pleasant delight.

Had some Bengal Slices last night in a MM cob. I stuffed a flake that I'd dried out for 24hrs but it still was hell getting it lit. Next time I'm going to rub it all out I think. I kinda like that licorice (and anise?) top note. Sorry no picture. It was dark ;-)
