Just finished smoking HU Nashville County in a smooth full bend 1977 Crown Coachman 215 egg.
The last of my stash of GQ Classic English in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank. Also, the last of my stash of GQ blends, durn it!!!
Yes, I know that I'm speaking to myself :).Quote:

Next up, Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a 1984 Ser Jacopo L1 saddle panel.

Breaking in a newly refurbished estate pipe with Hearth & Home Classic Burley Kake.
The pipe is a medium straight billiard with an army-mounted stem and a nice tight flame grain, made by Redonian (John Redman) of London for the RH Stearns department store in Boston. It is a Redonian Deluxe #792, age unknown.

Just finished smoking D&R Rimboche A.B. in a straight 1979 MM Legend. Wanted to see how quickly this shag would burn in a small bowl. Even at a moderate pace, it went fast.
2012 Orlik Golden Sliced in a 1984 black sandblasted straight Dunhill Shell 4103 Billiard. This will take longer to smoke. A bottle of Sprite is my drink.
Ashton Winding Road in a Cob, third bowl since yesterday.
A little more than half way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09).

2014 Escudo in a 1960s Comoy Extraordinaire Sandblast saddle billiard. Drink is Pompelmo, a grapefruit (16%) beverage made by Sanpellegrino in Italy. Didn't realize that it contained sugar before I tried it but it's delicious and refreshing and I'll have to see if there's a sugar free version. Anyone else tried it?
Past couple days have been nothing but Samuel Gawith Navy Flake! I can't get enough of this stuff right now!
I love it - you will too.

Long ago and very far away, I used to buy Navy Flake in pound boxes. It used to come in pound boxes just wrapped in polythene. No real seal, so by the time you took it home the enormous amount of moisture SG used had evaporated to the point it was ready to smoke. That was before the UK went insane and changed to grams and did away with shillings and real money. Then one day, I just stopped smoking it. I still have a jar with some in it, but VERY slowly it has continued to dry even though it is sealed. Now it is dry and tough like beef jerky and the flavour has changed if I remember correctly. It is still a decent, but harsher smoke. I can testify that there is a limit to the benefits of aging however, and this tobacco is past its sell by.Quote:
