The humble name, No Clue, gives no indication of the sublime smoking experience to follow. It's one of the finest VaPers that I've ever encountered.

I was inspired to smoke the last of the No Name by the beautiful weather, it just seemed fitting. I banged the bag but there was no more.

Wayne was modest, even humble about his mixture but it's an achievement that any legendary blender would have relished to have called their own.

Kudos, kudos and more kudos Wayne, you knocked this out of the park! Now I smoke, ssshhhh. :) :)

Thank you Pete :pipe:

When I make another & most likely last batch, I'll send you some more.

Wayne,

Thank you.

No Name was consistent with the bowls I smoked in the Fall and you know that I'm not easily given to such glowing comments. I'd like to write a review of No Name so that it can have the witness that it deserves and you won't have to humiliate me to do it.

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Mixture #12 in a 1985 Ser Jacopo S2 Maxima sandblasted taper apple.

Maybe my last bowl before I write the review of #12 that @Branzig humiliated me into writing.

I hadn't had a pipe in a few days, tonight I'm starting off with McClelland's Frog Morton Across The Pond in a MM Country Gentleman.

First pipe in several weeks I think... A bowl of Peacehaven in my Big Ben.

Now smoking one of my favorite tobaccos of all time: Dunhill Navy Rolls in a much cherished smooth straight grain three quarter bend 1979 Becker M 4 heart brandy. I gave into temptation and opened a two year old tin when I opened the two year old bag of Tilbury.

Ooh, this reminds me. I have some sitting in a jar somewhere that are getting very old, and nearly all dark brown in color, almost black. I'll hunt them down and start working in the last of them before they get too muddied in flavor. Thanks Jim!

As always a good time at pipe club. I brought four Malaga brand pipes I restored. I purchased them from a member at last months pipe club. Here are the before and after shots:

I was able to fit three bowls in. The first Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. - Bright CR Flake, second GL Pease Bohemian Scandal (2004), and the third Tom's Private Reserve. I bring stuff too, but it goes unsmoked. I can't compete with what these guys have in their cellars. If you have a pipe club in your area you should join.

@JustTroItIn Nice work!

Currently having my second meerful of Daughters and Ryan Three Sails. It's basically an unadulterated straight VA fine ribbon cut (read cigarette tobacco). I got it for blending but have a bowl of it straight once in a while. It's not too bad, but I have to smoke it really slowly to avoid overheating and moisture buildup, i.e., gurgling.
