I've got a small, unlabeled mason with about half a bowls worth of dry-ish something or other that smells faintly of latakia. Looks to be a rubbed out flake of some kind - probably something I prepared too much of a while back and stuck in this jar for safe keeping. A little latakia goes good with Va usually so I rubbed out a flake of PS, Navy to add to it, making a probable total of two bowls worth of this mystery mix. I'll try some later in the bent sandblast.
Just finished off a bowl of Smoker's Haven Exotique in a Dunhill Shell billiard.

I just opened a tin of Dunhill Navy Rolls. Very glad to see this tobacco come around in my rotation. Sipping Nespresso coffee, as usual.
I have one tin yet marked as “De Luxe Navy Rolls”, but I’m saving it for some special occasion.

You need to smoke that sucker more! The meer is still white :pipe:
That makes perfect sense; the Virginia was sweet but muted. I will try what you suggest with my G&H twists. I would smoke it more, but it requires a commitment - of one hand for 30 or so minutes.Quote:

I'm enjoying cigar at the moment (Padron 3000) but earlier I had a bowl of MacBaren Plum Cake, a bowl of McClelland 40th Anniversary and a bowl of Rattray's Old Gowrie.
Puffing a fill of Dunhill Navy Rolls from the tin that I opened yesterday. Regal tobacco, it is.
I went to bed early last night, to counter the DST effect. I’m bright eyed and bushy tailed!
Finishing up some Ennerdale, in a tall skinny MM Cob, with my morning coffee. It's a good, quality tobacco. IMO the taste is better if you let it sit for a long time (I've probably had this sample a couple of years) for the floral soap taste to die down some. I've enjoyed it but don't see me buying any.
