Puffed an old Grabow off and on while doing some wood workery yesterday afternoon. War Horse ready rubbed was the weed. This is a decent blend but it doesn't really turn my crank. There's none of that cardboard burly taste and it doesn't bite so that part I enjoy, however there's no citrus to speak of either and I don't taste the alleged anise topping at all. P&C sent me this in error - I had ordered he WH Bar but figured I'd give it a try. It might grow on me. Still haven't tried the Bar...
If you like citrus, try F&T Blackjack. It's a ready rubbed Virginia. No need for drying -- it's good to go right out of the tin.
Puffing an after-lunch fill of Hamborger Veermaster. Going down exceptionally well!
My after lunch desert was two slices of garlic ciabatta toast, drizzled with California Olive Ranch Arbequina EVOO. That went down exceptionally well too. I just don't have a sweet tooth -- prefer good bread to any cake.
Thanks, I'll have to try it. I also like English blends with a decidedly citrus cast. I have several on hand like that.Quote:

Puffing Wessex Classic Virginia. Dunhill Navy Rolls and Solani 633 are my favorite VaPers, but this VaPer is pretty darned close. And it has the ready-rubbed convenience, and is less expensive to boot. It's good stuff.
Had a wonderful bowl of OGS in my Ehrlich lovat pope. Haven’t smoked this pipe in over a year, I missed it.
Now some 2012 mixture 965 blended with 2012 nightcap and a pinch of 2012 holiday blend by C&D. Nice combo in my Viling Bent.
First smoke of the day is PS Amsterdam in a grp 4 Dunhill Bruyere billiard with an oval shank. Drinking Maxwell House Colombian coffee and getting ready to go to work.
First time trying Smokers pride mellow, which is not bad at all for 7.99 a pound on special. pretty OTC flavor profile but with much more bright virginia (more than any OTC I can think of). low nicotine which is nice as these days I do not maintain a high nicotine tolerance at all. I smoked it in a briar and suspect it would be better in a cob. Very cheap long term tobacco security, I now have 3 pounds of the rich taste and 3 of the mellow taste.
Some Solan’s black and white in my Wiebe custom pipe. Good
