I think I got it in a big package from Tobias Lutz.
I love how we try them all and pass along what's not for us. It is a really cool community.

For sure.
IIRC that was the same package that my first sample of SG Navy Flake was in, which is one of my absolute favorites. :)

Had some Drew Estate Gatsby Luxury Flake in a cheapo budget briar.

This baccy is pretty good. It was on sale for $5.99 so I thought I'd try it. It's like a more flavorful Orlik Golden Sliced.

C & D Yale Mixture in my no-name Italian briar semi-rusticated, two-tone prince.

[AndyCAYP]

Been so busy. So, so busy. I have been smoking, just not as much, and obviously I haven't been checking in as much. Hopefully everyone's well.

I have a bowl of Capstan waiting to be torched which I'll dig in to here shortly, and then this afternoon I'll followup with my lovely lady Ennerdale. That seems like a great one-two punch.

I still need to order Bengal Slices, and I'm holding off on Warhorse until I can get the plug. I still need to order SG's Cabbie's Mixture. And I just placed an order through the store for St. Bruno, which the vendor assures me will be available in April... Looks like it'll be priced at the same rate as Capstan, so pricey but still less than it would cost to order from the UK. Looks like I can finally break open some more of the packages of the imported stuff that I've been hanging on to!

Seriously, I hope everyone's well!

Hey Andy, I would be interested in a package or two of that St. Bruno. Can you get Condor as well?

[BryGuySC]

Smoked some C&D Poplar Camp last night.
I'm having a hard time syncing up with this Vaper. It consistently strikes me as dry and peppery. Not what I'm looking for. Yes, there are subtle underlying notes and sweetness, but not enough to balance the dry pepperiness.
I bet a cigar smoker would enjoy it.

Hey Andy, I would be interested in a package or two of that St. Bruno. Can you get Condor as well?

St. Bruno, Gold Block, and Amphora are all returning to the US (under distribution by MacBaren/Sutliff) by April, so that's why I can get those. Unfortunately, Condor isn't... Although I think with Capstan, and now these, finally being imported again, we may see some of these other tobaccos slowly make their way here too.

But I can absolutely reserve a few tins of St. Bruno for you! Tins will be $16.15.

HH Old Dark Fired ready rubbed in a Savinelli Roma 626.
Odd thing. Usually, ODF is one of the few burleys that do not give me a chemical bite. Today, I felt the "burley bite" as soon as I took the first few puffs. Maybe this bowlful had a higher ratio of burley. I dunno. It was weird.

Trying a bowl of KY Club's London Dock from Bruck in the pearwood.

So honestly, not looking for affirmation here, have you been able to extract any enjoyment from those old KY Club backys?

[bluenoser]

I actually enjoyed the London dock. The Crosby square was smokeable. Haven't tried the other 2 yet. They had dried out pretty bad in the bail top jars so I just finished rehydrating them and replaced with some mason jars. Going to try the other 2 this week.

What do you think of that Gatsby flake?

I like it.
It is very similar to OGS in the tin. Long rolled up flakes. The texture and moisture is nearly identical.

It really even tastes similar, but Gatsby Flake has more flavor. Kind of a fuller, more complex OGS. It's a good VA flake IMO.

I've tried 2 of the DE blends now and love them both. Meat Pie is a good straightforward English blend.

The rest of them are aromatics, so I'll probably just stick with these two from DE.

Just got back from the Knoxville Pipe Club's monthly meeting. I smoked a bowl of Penzance in a McCranie bulldog. Other members were smoking the new Bengal Slices and liked it.

Good description. Gatsby flake blindsided me. I love the stuff and the tin went by too fast.

CI has DE tins for $5.99 right now. Be a good time to stock up.
I think I'll order a couple of Meat Pie and a couple more Gatsby flakes too.

Celebrating IPSD a day early with a wonderful bowl of GLP's Sixpence. Really nice blend here, different from anything else of his I've tried.

I also placed an order at Smoking Pipes for some things I can't get through the store. They're offering 10% off, so it was a no-brainer.

I just got finished with a bowl of Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture in an unfinished Savinelli Series III.

McClelland Yenidje Highlander in a MM General - packed Hanna's air pocket method, which works wonderfully in a pipe with these proportions.

I can't imagine one could use the air pocket method in a lot of pipe shapes (apple, prince, tomato, squat bulldog, small billiard, wide pot), but the MM General is basically a Chimney shape and narrow enough and well suited (especially for the pipe neophyte) to get the wad of tobacco rightly situated to channel all the virtues of the blend and none or few of its vices.

"Air pocket" as a philosophy may confine you. Smoke what you want, pack any way you want, in any pipe you want, and learn yourself by trial and error. You might learn that the elders are right, but you may also learn that you are right, so experiment and fail until you get your own groove and discover your own peak smoking experience.

Those Hi-Point carbines are a bargain.
I've not owned one, but have gotten to shoot 2 different ones pretty extensively and both of them were very accurate with both factory ammo and my handloads.
We even took the one in .45 acp and shot some bullets we cast ourselves and were shooting one ragged hole at 25 yds (with the aid of a red dot optic).

Hi Alan, I originally thought that you were referring to "Sweet Oriental", by Master Blender Steve Books, but according to Tobacco Reviews he said that he did not create the blend.:shocked: I do like Oriental tobacco and a sweet one would be interesting to try. So my friend, which Sweet Oriental are you smoking?:ask:

Its one of Rich's House Blends I picked up today at their shop downtown. Its complex and sweet and smoky in a fashion that brings to mind the exotic locales the tobaccos hail from. Sweet and mild while maintaining a robust flavor profile, an intriguing blend for any smoker.

Yes, pretty good for the money. Mine's in .40. Iron sights - about 1.5" group at 25 yds, a bit more at 50.
