What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

First (and maybe only, we'll see) bowl of the evening will be Sam Gawith St. James Flake in my Ben Wade Freehand.

Taking time for a bowl of Solani 656 in my Tally-Ho

Puffing Solani 763, White & Black. I'm thinking that this may be the mellowest tobacco I've ever smoked. Yet very tasty, with rich flavor.

It's on my list to pick up a few tins, then stick back and forget about them for a while (though I'll probably have to smoke one for reference purposes).

That may indeed be true. When I popped the tin and had my first fill, I was disappointed by Hamborger Veermaster. Didn't seem to have much flavor, and I didn't like what little flavor there was. After several weeks I tried one more fill to decide whether or not to toss the tin. And, by golly, it was excellent.

Got my tin of Orlik, Dark Strong Kentucky in hand. Now to scrounge up a pipe and a beer to go with it.

Yeah, some of them just need a week or two to air out I think.
McClelland Black Woods Flake is like that for me. I did similar to what you described. Didn't like it at first, so I jarred up the entire tin. A couple months later, I tried it and loved it.

Had a bowl of my English Shelf Plug while roasting some coffee.
