Sounds tasty. I was hoping you weren't going to say those white blobs were marshmallows. :puke:
Burned a cobload of G&H Cherry Cream Flake last night by the campfire

Working from home still, sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee and a Savinelli Series III bent apple, full of McClelland 2015 Va/Perique Flake.
Burned a cobload of Ennerdale flake on the river yesterday. Well, half a cobload... the pipe is still half full. Debating on whether to fire it back up today (if I make it out there) or dump it and reload afresh.
Found a half jar of McClelland 5110 that I mixed with Latakia 3/4:1/4.
Loaded up a cob and it greatly improved cleaning up the yard!
Puffing Liberty (Dan Tobacco), in my old Kirsten. A mild Virginia with a light cherry topping. Very tasty, and a nice change up. Here’s what SmokingPipes says of it:
“With both title and tin art making clear Liberty's inspiration, this is bright and sweet Virginia blend, flavored with a strong aromatic note that has been compared to a good cherry snuff.”
I disagree with the “strong aromatic note” statement. You want “strong aromatic note”? Try Solani Tropical Mango Flake!
It's hard to find a Dan blend that's no good, aromatic or otherwise. I enjoy their Sweet Vanilla Honeydew and Bill Baileys Balkan Blend. I have a tin of Devils Holiday and also one of Velvet that I need to try some day. Both were gifts as I usually shy away from tins if favor of bulk. Velvet is supposed to be flavored with champagne and Guinness. Dan Tobacco seems to shy away from the use of black Cavendish and burley. Probably why I usually like their blends.
Burned a fresh bowl of G&H Louisiana flake on the river yesterday. I also added a small amount of Solani Green Label for improved 'boat note'. The aro didn't do the Louisiana flake any favors but it still wasn't bad.
^^^^^^^^
I’ve tried all of the Solani aros. The only one I like at all is 333, “Festival”. I don’t think that I’ll be buying any more of it though.
Currently puffing “Holmer Knudsen’s”, another good Dan Tobacco aro.
I bought this Black House a really long time ago, before I had any idea about anything piping. I just always remembered that it had black Cavendish. However reading it now its really mostly a lot of everything else, Latakia and perique based. Pretty happy its not sweet at all with the Cavendish in it as I was worried about it.

Puffing a mixture in my old Kirsten. Hamborger Veermaster (Dan Tobacco), and a lesser amount of Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake. Going down pretty well. The ABF provides body that the HV lacks.
