Just got back from the Knoxville Pipe Club meeting and had three bowls: Christmas Cheer 2016, C&D Small Batch Sansepolcro, and a bowl of my first blend made from whole leaf tobacco (Virginia, 2 kinds of Orientals, and a tad of Latakia).They were all excellent smokes! Smoked them in a Guildhall billiard:

Warren, this is a very nice tobacco.:leprechaun: I got this tobacco last month and I am now having my 4th bowl of this mixture in my extra large Rossi freehand and I definitely like it.:pipe: I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" brew and I am beginning to relax after a very busy day.:beerchug:Quote:

I really like this one too. There's an Elizabethan Mixture match that is a bit less expensive and can be purchased in bulk, but every "match" I've tried has been disappointing so I stick with the real thing on this one.Quote:

It's a bit of a gurgler, but has a nice feel and rather cool smoker. A couple pipe cleaners and i enjoy it.
