Puffing Gordon Pym (Dan Tobacco) in my old Kirsten Mariner. It’s the only English mixture that I really like. Pricey, but very tasty! The Latikia is applied with a light hand. Or perhaps it’s a less virulent form of it.

Puffing Gordon Pym (Dan Tobacco) in my old Kirsten. Not only is this the only English mixture that I like, I actually like it quite a lot. Here’s what Tobacco Reviews says of it:
“This blend contains golden Virginia, Maryland and a little dark fired Virginia that gives this blend a profound flavor. Precious Oriental tobacco gives a soft tangy flavor that is complimented by Syrian latakia. Broad-cut with a slow, even burn, especially in bigger bowls.”
So besides the moderate Latakia, perhaps it’s the “dark fired Virginia” that appeals to me. Solani 660, Silver Flake, is possibly my favorite tobacco, and it has dark fired Kentucky.
Couple coins of PS Bullseye Flake in a dirty ol' cob while standing around the fire pit after a day's work outside.
So nice. Atmosphere is everything.
Oh, and gin and soda to refresh the palate. That helped too :D :D
Recently popped a tin of 2016 S.G. Bothy Flake.
Good stuff!
Puffing Solani 656, Aged Burly Flake, in my Luciano squat bulldog. I don’t smoke a lot of ABF, but get a hankering for it from time to time, and enjoy it.
I bought the Luciano, unsmoked ,for a modest price from the Italian Estates section of SmokingPipes. It smokes nicely, and I like its looks. Very cool in hand too.

G&H Rum Flake in my glass bottom cob. Almost gone now...
Moving on soon to PS Bullseye Flake in my oldest, dirtiest, but sweet smoking MM Legend.
SG Navy Flake in a balsa-bottomed cob.
Such a great blend. I never tire of it.
Smoked the leftover 1/3 of a bowl of G&H Louisiana Flake that I started yesterday. Let's see you try that with a cigar. Started out very peppery but settled down and got sweet and fruity. Smoked it right to the bottom.
