Back to Balkan Sasieni in a McCarter. So creamy.

Just finishing this bowl of Jim's Va/Bur #1 in a 2003 smooth Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Baskerville.
About a third of the way through this bowl of Drew Estate Gatsby Luxury Flake in a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera. A bottle of Mountain Dew made with pure cane sugar is my drink. Weather's tuned chilly, but I'm home after running some errands, so I'm not concerned about it. :santagrin:

Almost finished smoking Moonshine XXX Blend in a 2013 slight bend grain etched briar John Barrett Volcano with a walnut shank.
I like it. Kinda of like OGS in some ways, though this is straight Va. Citrus, hay, a touch of honey, and a little grass.Quote:

Listing this early: Peacehaven in a 2014 smooth quarter bend Basil Meadows horn with a cumberland stem and p-lip.
Boom! A healthy dose of Irish X in the Tim West to end the evening.
Flakes and Kakes and Coins and Ropes make me extremely happy. They are the top of the tobacco pyramid.
First bowl of Stonehaven. Very nice, very smooth, figgy flavors. Not sure I get the hype, but I definitely enjoyed and would be happy to smoke it again.
2012 Rolando’s Own in a straight black sandblast 2 star Ferndown Bark Prince with a Cumberland stem. A very under rated blend.
More or less my impression of the stuff. Really good, but there are a lot of really good blends out there. Most days I would reach for ABF first.Quote:

2014 McClelland Christmas Cheer in a 2002 quarter bend sandblasted Stanwell Golden Danish 139. Have enough left for a one more bowl.
Couldn't sleep, so I'm having a smoke. Hines Match in a 1979 medium bend etch relief meerschaum lined TinderBox Arabesque. Have enough for about a bowl and a half.
My experience: smoke it wet in a tall, narrow bowl. Entirely different sensations.Quote:

I can't say if it's the age of the tobacco or the pipe, as I've never smoked it this old and I've never smoked it in this particular craggytop McCarter, but this is one of the best bowls of tobacco I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It started out seriously floral which I absolutely loved, and then it became creamy with a decent bit of pepper offset by a citrusy tang and pure sweet tobacco goodness. At times I noticed salty and sour notes that could be separate or complementary, and the floral character has come back for bits of time, and while light in character I want to call it rich. What a treat.
I did dry it out longer than planned. I'll try it wet next time, in my billiard. I think that's the tallest and narrowest pipe I have.Quote:

Just finished a bowl of Pete's (@Neverbend) "Bryan's blend" while standing in the rain. It was a hasty smoke, but I couldn't wait any longer.
Pretty close to what I was hoping for! Can't wait to sit and give it the appropriate time it needs to open up, as well as try Pete's take on it.
Really excited!
Just finished smoking Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256.
HU Asmara in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot wide top Dublin with a canted plateau and black acrylic stem. Have enough left for a couple more bowls.
I've been waiting on Meier & Dutch (the distributor) to begin taking orders. I spoke to our rep on Friday and they still didn't even have UPCs in the system. So as Jim said, I assume early December, but it could be scarce at the start of the race.Quote:
