I have been checking with them since they took over the operation and they still don't have the ones I want. She said they no longer have a supplier for the standard amber colored lucite stems or the standard black lucite stems.Quote:

I've smoked DF longer than any tobacco in my current tobacco rotation. It's always a pleasure, and, unlike some topped tobaccos, it never becomes tiresome towards the bottom of the tin. My only complaint is that the flakes often adhere to the point that I can't extract a whole intact flake. Possibly because my tins are at least two years old when I open them.Quote:

Now smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin with a black acrylic stem. I'm enjoying these new D&R blends very much. Mark Ryan tells me that the first batches were sold in July, so they beat the Aug. 8th FDA deadline. There will be another commercial release later this year.

This tobacco is the best cube cut IMO - This one seems too harsh to me when I rub it out.
I cut a couple of 3/16 thick coins off the rope with a cigar cutter, cube cut those into biggish chunks with a single edge razor blade and let them completely dry out. Then I drop those chunks into the pipe till it's near full and sprinkle the loose bits and pieces on the top for tinder. One of these days I'm going to try just dropping a few of the whole coins directly into a bigger pipe and then using something like PA as tinder... but I think that much G&H rope just might kill me.
H&H Mid-town Sweet Cask, from a 2 oz sample I bought, in a no name French made billiard. Inoffensive but characterless smoke. Not something I'll buy again.
Edit: Scratch that, it becomes offensive as the bowl progresses. Sort of like smoking a sugar substitute. Dumped it out.

@Pipe Smoker ,I'm almost finished with the first tin of DF I ever tried and trying to convince the misses that I need about ten to cellar.
She seems to think we need to pay the electric bill,,,Silly Woman...:3stooges:
Finished off the tin of Penzance in the King's Cross and then packed a bowl of Peter Stoke English Luxury in a GBD Country Club....
A quarter of the way through this bowl of aged Hal O’ the Wynd in a smooth three quarter bend 1970s Charatan Belvedere 4211DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem.

A couple minutes or so away from smoking Granger in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a black acrylic stem.
The Sweet Cask I smoked earlier put me off the pipe for the rest of the day. The aftertaste was so vile and pervasive, I tried brushing my teeth, gargling with mouthwash, even rinsed my mouth with bourbon and it was still there. But, when you're thrown from a horse the only thing to do is get back on, though that's a horse I'll never ride again. The tobacco is now where it belongs, in the garbage can, and I'm about to light a bowl of HOTW in a Savinelli De Luxe 637 KS smooth Rhodesian.

What did you think of it? I like PS 41 from time to time (never having been a big fan of burley) but I have to let it air a looong time or it smokes wet and bites. It doesn't seem like it but I think that blend is probably shipped very wet. Probably why it stays so nicely in cube form.Quote:

I think it is a very enjoyable non-aromatic pipe tobacco. Needless to say, it has lots of true tobacco flavor and a moderate amount of nicotine. It reminds me of a blend from my early days of pipe-smoking, Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed. I really like the cube-cut format.Quote:
