Sutliff Majestic English in my usual no-name Italian briar prince.

I need to rotate in another pipe, but I use this one for Latakia / English blends that I frequently smoke on my AM commute. It smokes well though, so I like it.

English made Chillemi's.....

So honestly, not looking for affirmation here, have you been able to extract any enjoyment from those old KY Club backys?

I actually enjoyed the London dock. The Crosby square was smokeable. Haven't tried the other 2 yet. They had dried out pretty bad in the bail top jars so I just finished rehydrating them and replaced with some mason jars. Going to try the other 2 this week.

St. James Flake in a Savinelli Series III unfinished.

I smoked my usual Royal Yacht today. I am looking forward to St Bruno when it arrives.

I love Hal o the Wynd.
When I buy a tin, Iv'e been putting half in a jar and cellar it and smoking the other half.
I'm gonna have a nice stock of prime aged HOTW in a few years. :pipe:

I like it.
It is very similar to OGS in the tin. Long rolled up flakes. The texture and moisture is nearly identical.

It really even tastes similar, but Gatsby Flake has more flavor. Kind of a fuller, more complex OGS. It's a good VA flake IMO.

I've tried 2 of the DE blends now and love them both. Meat Pie is a good straightforward English blend.

The rest of them are aromatics, so I'll probably just stick with these two from DE.

SPC MS River, H&H Marquee Blackhouse and Grandma's Kitchen, all in Kaywoodie White Briar's......

Just got back from the Knoxville Pipe Club's monthly meeting. I smoked a bowl of Penzance in a McCranie bulldog. Other members were smoking the new Bengal Slices and liked it.

Good description. Gatsby flake blindsided me. I love the stuff and the tin went by too fast.

CI has DE tins for $5.99 right now. Be a good time to stock up.
I think I'll order a couple of Meat Pie and a couple more Gatsby flakes too.

As Marie Antoinette possibly said "Let Them Smoke Kake"...
