G&H Sliced Black Twist in a small Savinelli. (Thanks NeverBend for the sample) I wouldn't want to smoke this exclusively but it sure is good once in a while. Plenty strong enough to put hair on your chest.

Also tried some C&D Night Train a few days ago - surprisingly enough I liked it. Surprising because I usually prefer blends without burley but this was pretty good.

So after reading JimInks review on SPS Metropolitan it got me thinking,,,I have some Blue Danube,and some Great Outdoors.
Both of which are mentioned .So right now I'm smoking Blue Danube and will load a bowl of GO after.But I have to admit
that I find Jim's assesment to be spot on.Not that my pallette is anywhere near Jims,but I've found that many of the blends he
recommends to quite good and enjoyable,makes it a lot easier choosing a smoke.

Yesterday finished off my JB Hayes Commonwealth and started a bowl of PS Peaches and cream, but it was too wet. Whoops.

Both in my MM Cobb Legend.

[fastnbulbous]

I'm fine. I took a forum break because I occasionally get very self conscious when my posts dominate this thread. I really like seeing what everybody smokes, but when I continually see me having five, six or seven smokes in a row, I start to wonder about everybody else, and why more don't post. I know more smoking is going on than I see, and I could be wrong about this, but it seems like there are more posts when I don't post. That's happened the last couple times I took a break. I'm glad to see the other posts, which are every bit as important as anything I do. I hope I don't sound cranky. I just like the company here and want to see more of it.

The last of my stash of Smoker’s Pride Rum in a 2003 IMP horn Meer. Listening to Vin Scully and the Dodgers on the XM.

I wish I did smoke more. Just about everything I smoke I post. Not much I know. One or 2 bowls a week and one or two cigars.

I love seeing your posts though, as I Think I have mentioned before.
I just wish there were pics (which I think you have addressed in the past....)

[JimInks]

A few minutes away from smoking the last of my sample of C&D Rajah’s Court in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad I'm of help.

[coffeecup]

This evening I am smoking a bowl of SG Navy Flake in my extra large Rossi Freehand.:pipe: I was looking thru my stash and came across the SG Navy Flake and while smoking it I told my wife how delicious it was, and she asked me why I don't smoke it more often. It had been nearly a year since I had last smoked it and her question took me off guard so I thought about it.:ask: Eventually I told her that I have so many choices of great tobacco that I would not be satisfied in simply smoking a favorite. It is interesting to me that I had talked to a friend living in Europe and he was complaining that he can only get Cuban cigars and his tobacco choices were so few.:shocked: I realized that here in the U.S. at the present time did allow me to obtain a wide variety of cigars and tobacco. My friend told me that he would trade places with me in a heartbeat. I immediately felt bad for him but happy for me that I have so many choices; for me it was "food for thought". I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" brew and I am in good spirits.:beerchug:

+1 on the JimInks fan club :) Whenever I'm shopping online for tobacco and I'm thinking about trying something new, which is just about every time I'm shopping online for tobacco, I go to tobaccoreviews.com and look for Jim's review if there is one, which there usually is. It's not the only deciding factor, but it's one of the bigger ones.

[Bruck]

And for the record, currently burning some Peter Stokkebye Turkish in a no-name briar. Pretty mellow in a pipe - also makes a decent RYO ciggie.

Now I'm smoking some Full Virginia Flake in a MM Legend.

I've had a stressful couple of weeks with work and finals. I've went nearly 3 days without a smoke. Finished a big project at work and only have one more test to take. I'm in early celebration mode. I'm gonna smoke until my tongue hurts tonight. :pipe:

Cool Breeze, where did you get the Strang?

I was generously bombed by Shemp Jizzle here on the Bum and in the package was a sample of Strang. It is hard stuff to come by.
From what I've read you pretty much have to know someone in Germany or have ties with someone who does to get some. I had wanted to try it for a while.

What did you think of it?

It's really good.
I'm a Vaper man all the way and this is a fantastic one.
It's complex with a lot of different flavors going on. Not quite as sweet as some Vapers.
Best enjoyed in a large bowl IMO.

A lot of the hard to find blends are mostly hype and when I finally get to try them I'm kind of let down because I've built it up in my mind.
Not so with this one. It delivers.

This tin was bought on 10-15-15 so it's had a little over 6 months age in the tin, but it's very different from the fresh tin that I had last year.

This is deeper, a bit more acidic and no trace of the 'green' immature tone of the first tin. I have another tin from the same date that I'll wait on for a year or so to see how it changes.
