A review huh? Well after the "charring Light" and a quick tamp it's like sucking air thru a rock.The taste
was very "earthy" with no hint of "Spice".There was a noticable lack of "citrusy" tang,and it reminded
me mostly of burning wood.The smoke was acrid and un-delicious.Definately NOT an all day smoke,the nic hit
was extremely mild though.I believe every Lush should try this at some time in their stupor.I give it a
full Three Head Bangings.(Four if you can get it to stay lit)

My Brigham is supposed to use a balsa filter,dang thing was like 4 inches long.I threw it away and just smoke
it without.Smokes great that way.

Hmmmm... had you also mentioned 'searing tongue bite' I would think you were smoking Borkum Riff

Squeezed in some time for a bowl of Margate last nice. It's nice to have that familiar smell back in the mustache; my wife missed it too!

Smoked a small bowl of a not-great combination of Peter Stokkebye #41 cube cut and Cornell & Diehl Bourbon Bleu - which I also cube cut. Loaded it all up in a Savinelli Ginger's Favorite billiard. The best thing I can say about it is that it's gone now.

We had a meeting of the Knoxville Pipe Club last night. Here's what I smoked:

Capstan Blue - Started out great but got flat and boring in the second half.
G&H Sweet Coconut Twist - This was a little too moist and I struggled with enjoying it.
G&H Louisiana Perique Flake - This was superb! So good that I smoked it on the drive home.

Puffing Van Erkoms Jock in my Keyser Hygenic.

Puffing Hamborger Veermaster. I ask myself: Is this the best straight Virginia that I've ever smoked? And I answer: Yes, I think it is. At least for now...

I would completely agree, but I also prefer ABF over even Stoney, so no accounting for taste. Or accounting.

For my part, GH Dark Flake Scented hit the spot.

PS English Oriental Supreme in a Hendon billiard.

I've found that my favorite tobacco is usually whatever I happen to be smoking at the time :)
