Love the winey tin note and astringent sweet flavor. Great after dinner pipe, super high quality tobacco, like spun golden fleece.Quote:

After a couple weeks break (too many bowls + cigars + wildfire smoke) I had a bowl of Holgar Danske Mild Orange that hit the spot.
Not sure if it was an AHAH moment, but I noticed it in very good way!
Pete's Thomas Harriot in a briar.
Test Blend #2 in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer.

Rained all day here, thunder in the distance and forecast for more rain so I'm on the front porch.
I'm having a bowl of McClelland McTruffle in a Savinelli Capri Bulldog.

C&D Competition Blend #460 in a Dr. G. Grand Duke. Going thru the burleys that @Alligator Gar bombed me with :) Your basic burley with a slight floral note.
The Grand Duke - you'd think with such a majestic name it would be a big, manly pipe, but it's actually got a pretty small bowl.
You need to upgrade the bomb staus to a trade, as I'm smoking the peach/latakia flake you sent me. Most manly aro I've ever smoked. Good job!Quote:

Listing this a few minutes early: Tilbury in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo craving on the shank.
Frog Morton's Cellar in a Grabow
Had some Dunhill Royal Yacht in a MM Country Gentleman earlier.
My taste buds have died down a bit. I'm about to light up a bowl of Orlik Golden Sliced.
I know I'm going from a really strong blend to a really mild one, but I haven't had any GS in a while and a tin came in today so I'm gonna light one up.
2015 Red Ronnett's Sonnett in (the Beast) a 1985 Ser Jacopo L2 Maxima taper billiard.

2014 (recreation) E&C The Stout in a 1960s Comoy Extraordinaire Sandblast lovat (w/banded repair).
This was pressed and then jarred on 8-25-14. Vastly improved but more like (E&C) Cromwell than The Stout, although not close enough but at least it's in the right direction.
Rained ~4" and has nearly drowned many of my plants. I need S.C.U.B.A. for them!
Peter Heinrichs Golden Slice
Test Blend #2 in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer.
2014 Red Ronnett's Sonnett in a 1981 Mastro de Paja 1C (sandblast) lovat. Ice water. Gave my wife the tablet and speaker so I'm without music for the moment.
Light latakia ghost but this mixture continues to be consistent and intriguing. I keep thinking that I'll tweak it but there's no reason to mess with it.
My last, the E&C recreation that's more like Cromwell, finished really well. Again, I'm left with the question, 'do I tweak it or not?'. Being a little different isn't a bad thing if it performs well but it feels like I'm just to the left of the bulls-eye.
Still drying out here with another dash of rain forecast.
Straus Union Terminal in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow stem with white swirls.
