OGS is a Savinelli Bruna 209
Gonna shake it up with a bowl of ...hmmm...Erinmore Flake! Yeah, Nick, I think my mostly-Limey genes were activated when I lived in England.Quote:

What is your opinion of the D&R offerings? I see them at good prices on P&C pretty regularly, but I've never smoked them.Quote:

D&R makes mostly dual-purpose tobaccos. Most have a cut and moisture level that they can be used in RYO cigarettes, but with a bit of added moisture can be good in a pipe, or can be used as blending tobaccos. Essentially, they are uncased, and have about the dryness and cut of Five Brothers.Quote:

Rimboche A.B. is one of their pipe-only tobaccos, and is a delicious and totally unique Latakia blend. Nothing else quite like it.
D&R tobaccos, being uncased, means that you get a lot more tobacco for your dollar, even given that they are already inexpensive. One can add some distilled water if necessary.

BTW, I'm not seeing the like/thanks option anymore. Was that removed or is it just some sort of glitch?

Just finished smoking Mapleton Match in a smooth straight late 1970s Tinderbox Selected Grecian Briar Dublin. Next is Peretti’s #333 in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09).

C&D Burley Flake #2 in a 1980s Peterson 314 Full Bend black Sandblast system pipe.
Had a great time at pipe club last night and much baccy was smoked. I got to try a bowl of Murray's Era Dunhill Standard Mixture from 2002 (excellent!) and also a blend that had Syrian Latakia (much different than the smoky Cyprian we mostly smoke now). It's amazing how fast three hours go by with great company and good baccy.
This morning I smoked Bald Headed Teacher in a Viking for the drive into work.
The last of this sample of Edgeworth Slices in an old medium bend grain etched Preben Holm Ben Wade Prominence B freehand. All great things must come to an end. :crushed::ghost::hororr:

Have you had McClelland Chocolate Cream? If so is it similar in any way?Quote:

It is beneath the post. You can't see it on your own posts because they assume you like your own post.Quote:

I have not tried the McClelland. If it has a pleasing chocolate liqueur topping which comes through in the flavor, plus a decent presence of Latakia, then it may be similar.Quote:

Earlier was McClelland Organically Grown Flake in a Dr. Grabow Omega.
Now it's GLP Odyssey in a stubby billiard. This is an unfinished pipe bowl that I got on ebay and made a stem for, it's unmarked and ain't too pretty, but it's a huge bowl and I can smoke for a long time while doing yard work without worrying about my briar.
