I thought the FVF guarantee was that its good with EVERYTHING!

Early this afternoon;

2000 Rattray's Red Rapparee in a Ser Jacopo Renaissance #306 sandblast taper billiard with Spring water.

Need to clean some pipes, not keeping up so well.

Enjoyed a nice bowl of Dunbar in a Grabow Starfire billiard while running a few evening errands.

He said he was just stepping out for a smoke. That was six months ago. He had his suitcase with him. I should have known :(

Puffing Wessex Classic Virginia in my sweet little Luciano squat bulldog. This tobacco is rather misnamed -- it's actually a vaper of red Virginia and Perique. Very tasty!

Full Virginia Flake in my Savinelli Sherwood Rock Briar Canadian shape.
FVF never disappoints.

P&W #524 (Aro-English) in my Dunhill Canted Dublin.
so far I'm on my third bowl,,,thinking another will follow.

The other day I tried some Russ' Monthly Blend Snow Drift for the first time. I didn't move me, which surprised me, as Russ' blends are usually pretty good. It tasted a bit bland and wet, so I left the jar open for a couple days to dry it out, and had another bowl this p.m. Tasted better, but it lost even more of its flavor. My next trick will be adding bacon bits (latakia) to it. This usually rescues a struggling aro :)

BTW, y'all might be interested in a video I'm watching on blending:
