As I mentioned in the Blending Experiment thread, this mixture is evolving. Orientals, sour and a little bitter, are more present with Latakia toned down.

Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.
Flying Dutchman Match in a 1970's medium bend big bowl rusticated Sienna colored Savinelli Estella with a pearl grey stem. Have enough for one more bowl.
I popped open a tin of Hal O The Wynd that has about five years age on it ( since I bought it). It was swollen so I thought I should open it before it popped on its own. It has a strong fermented smell and taste, sort of like smoking mash. I am sure a little air and time will clear that.
About half way through this bowl of Heine's Blend in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega.
Ennerdale Flake in a Dr. Grabow smooth, straight Royalton :pipe:
Made a blend of Semois, green river vanilla and a pinch of black cherry. Good stuff!

2015 Hearth & Home White Knight in a 1960s Comoy Extraordinaire Sandblast lovat. Water and me, naturally air chilled.
I think this is close to where it was intended, as a reincarnation of Sobranie Wbite. It's a good mixture that doesn't need comparisons to stand on it's own.
