July 4th 2010 Smokes

[Kapnismologist]

For those brothers in the US, what are you planning to smoke this July 4th holiday?

For me there will certainly be some Pinkerton's 5 Brothers in a cob or two (preferably at least 1 hour before lighting up the grill or shooting off fireworks, just to be safe!). Also, a cigar or two for sure.

(by the way, on the history of the company who first produced the venerable American air-cured birdseye filled Burley shag which is 5 Brothers, see here: http://firecured.blogspot.com/2009/12/origins-of-five-brothers-tobacco.html)

Punch Gran Puro Pico Bonito..

A nice medium bodied Honduran puro .. 6x50? 6x52? Big cigar, should last through the cook out stage anyway..
Haven't decided about the after activitys smokes. Probably another cigar, maybe a CAO Brazilia.

I mighta smoked some Dan's Independence,
but it sucked so bad I tossed it. :silent:

 

[Frost]

I'm bustin out the cobs and stuffin 'em full of some Uhle's burleys. Also have a Perdomo Lot 23 set aside for the occasion.

I'll find time in the evening to slip in either a Partagas Cifuentes / a CAO Italia Piazza / or a CAO Cameroon Churchill. Decisions, decisions..............

Penzance, Penzance, and more Penzance. My bulk arrived so I don't have to ration it anymore . I'm also thinking about cracking a tin of Wessex Campaign. For the cigars, maybe some AFH classic maduros?

It'll be easy to smoke nothing but American pipes
this weekend. My collection is heavy with NAC.
Tobacco is trickier, but I can stick with GLP and C&D.
It might not all be grown here, but at least it's produced here.

Since it's my birthday, I'm sure I'll break-out my birthyear Dunhill Shell 250 (1957) to smoke some Abingdon (she's dedicated to English blends).

Bottom of the bowl was pretty thin when I got her earlier this decade, so I had Mark Tinsky do a water glass job on her...now she'll last as long as I do.

Happy B-day. Enjoy!

By the way, what is a 'water glass job', I have never heard that term before in this context. Any info. (photos?) would be welcome.

 

[mark]

Sodium silicate,,mixed with water to form a paste,,mud the bottom of the bowl,,fills in cracks, builds up thin bowl bottoms, forms a seal and resists heat,,,

My grandparents used a thin solution of waterglass to store eggs in before refrigeration,,,seals the pores of the shell,,,just another bit of useless information to store,,,,
