What blend is that? I am a bit of a burley fanatic.

It's Dunhill ultra-mild. A great blend. Sorry for the low picture quality.

And I'm sorry for the demise of tin art. I'd like to have seen the entire label, but clearly there is what I assume to be a warning label in Japanese slapped on it. I think it's time they started putting the tin art on the back, with the manufacturer's details on the lid with the warning label.

Finished yesterday with ten bowls, about an average smoking day. I smoke pretty small bowls, though, cob-size or slightly larger, so it's not really much different from smoking ten cigarettes, only it takes longer. I also pack pretty light when I fill a pipe and most of the time roll musketballs, which are really only a little more than half a bowl. I think people who sit with those humongo pipes and puff along on a 5gr load for two plus hours actually smoke more tobacco than I do if they smoke even three bowls.

A bowl of RY in the Sasieni "Canadian" Canadian.

I'm starting to lean toward smaller bowls, as well - mostly small cobs.

Somehow, I knew your post was going to be RY! What percentage of your daily smoke is RY?

Starting off my smoking day with Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.

Lately, I'd say about 1/2, with a few days of nothing else. I'm out (or almost out) of a lot of tobaccos that would normally fill the void, Kendal Kentucky, Dark Birdseye, Old Dark Fired, Irish Flake, et hoc genus omne, so RY is more or less a fall-back position, although quite a comfortable one. I do have some old cans of FVF that I should break out, or perhaps the Best Brown. I like those pretty much, but barely enough nicotine, really. I need to place an order, but I'm still in asset liquidation mode on my cellar.

Reducing the assets with a bowl of Marlin Flake right now. Not the greatest room note, now is it?

The sun is out and it's a couple of degrees above freezing!
