Royal Yacht in a MM cob
Just back from my extended holiday weekend at my trailer in the boonies. Had a great Thanksgiving dinner with friends, some of whom I see far too seldom. It was a weekend of overeating, lots of good wine and just enough good bourbon, very good cigars, and many bowls of good tobacco. I took several tins up with me, but the last of my tub of aged H&H Anni Kake was the biggest hit and it was gone before the weekend was over. Now back home in my comfortable chair and with a belly full of homemade chicken and wild rice soup, I'm about to put a match to a bowl of Anni Kake from a freshly opened tin in a MM Country Gentleman. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday as much as I did.

Fired a couple bowls of oriental blend in a cob. Had homemade potato soup for dinner
and been fighting the cats off since. Moving on with a bowl of Dunhill London Mixture
in a Dunhill Canted Dublin.

Guess I'll stick to the indoors and watch the Eagles lose.

This was the one I made a while back, smokes great, probably my favorite pipe in the little collection of mine.
Been away for the holidays. I did find some time to do some smoking with my bro-in-law.
Popped a tin of Dunhill Standard Mixture (2012) and a tin of McClelland Holiday Spirit (2014), and have been smoking those.
Also smoked some 30+ year old Mac Baren Virginia #1, that @Haebar sent to me a while back. I'm stringing it out as long as I can, as it is pretty delicious.

Have you smoked the Dunhill Standard Mixture? Is the London mixture similar, but with more latakia?Quote:

Now that I'm fired up I think I'll get me a bowl of
Captain Black Royal and a coco,,,,,,,,with RUM !
I believe this is an old 1930's era Kaywoodie Super Grain, but I'm not positive. It has "Super Grain" over "Kaywoodie" and "Imported Briar" over "5193D", but there's no stinger. Doesn't appear to have the stinger cut out so I don't know?.....

Great looking pipe regardless. Some models you could pry the stingers out with pliers.Quote:

Had some GL Pease Sixpence for the first time.
Just judging by one bowl, its okay. Don't know that it will unseat any of my favorite Vapers.
NOTHING again! Still fighting this danged cold :( Chewing some G&H Black Pigtail though. I know you guys worry about me, but I am getting my RDA of vitamin N :)
Well it's good that you're at least taking supplements. I'd hate to hear you landed in the hospital with an acute case of hypotobacinosis from under exposure to fragrant tobacco smoke.Quote:

This is a fun, old time burley blend with a little lat to give it substance

Had a bowl of Stonehaven in a bent Savi Alligator while finishing up my outdoor xmas decorations.
I've discovered today that Stonehaven tastes best bone dry. I accidentally left a flake out for like 5 days and was worried it was toast, but decided to light it up regardless. Tasted excellent and smoked down without maintenance to boot!

Technically it's only produced in the St. James Parish, LA, but our friend Larry the Tobacco Butcher makes it in KY and IMHO it's as good as the genuine article. I haven't heard of it being produced anywhere outside the US.Quote:

Nasty stuff, but I do enjoy it every once in a while.

oriental Blend in a Brigham brandy pot. to be followed closely by Dunhill London Mixture in a DG Savoy.
and to finish off the night Nightcap in a Dunhill Canted Dublin. Cold night so I'm drinking coffee and going
to get me a shot of Johnny Walker Red (Scotch).
C&D Corn Cob Pipe (and a button nose) in a MM Legend. This is my third bowl from this tin and I'm trying to like it, but it's just not happening. The burley is just harsh and overpowering. Maybe with a few years of age it may mellow and be more well behaved, but this is the only tin I bought and I won't be buying another.
do you like the other C&D burleys? harsh would be one way to describe them. More like a cigar than it is something like PA or carter hall.Quote:

The tin note on this reminds me somewhat of Prince Albert, a blend I don't particularly care for. If this is representative of C&D burleys then I'll be avoiding them all.Quote:
