Any lovers of burley should try this blend. It's great.
What blend is that? I am a bit of a burley fanatic.Quote:

I think people who sit with those humongo pipes and puff along on a 5gr load for two plus hours actually smoke more tobacco than I do if they smoke even three bowls.
A bowl of RY in the Sasieni "Canadian" Canadian.
I'm starting to lean toward smaller bowls, as well - mostly small cobs.Quote:

Starting off my smoking day with Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.
Some DE Toasted Black Cavendish in a smooth, 1/4 bent Dr. Grabow Golden Duke :pipe:
Lately, I'd say about 1/2, with a few days of nothing else. I'm out (or almost out) of a lot of tobaccos that would normally fill the void, Kendal Kentucky, Dark Birdseye, Old Dark Fired, Irish Flake, et hoc genus omne, so RY is more or less a fall-back position, although quite a comfortable one. I do have some old cans of FVF that I should break out, or perhaps the Best Brown. I like those pretty much, but barely enough nicotine, really. I need to place an order, but I'm still in asset liquidation mode on my cellar.Quote:

The sun is out and it's a couple of degrees above freezing!

Meridian and Odyssey mix in a Savinelli 114 ks. Just about done with this, then I'm gonna pop a fresh tin of Latakia Flake and see what all the fuss is about.
Quoted you here cuz I liked what you said.Quote:

Louisiana Red in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn.
2015 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake in a 1961 Barling's Make #5179 smooth saddle billiard.
Has a maple nose that comes through in the smoke but isn't too offensive, I can tolerate it in moderation.
Very interesting cut that makes the flake a little easier to pack. Typical of Stokkebye Flakes, not boldly flavorful, not heavily nuanced but well made, comfortable and enjoyable and affordable.
First bowl of Latakia Flake in a Big Ben dublin. This stuff is actually pretty tangy. Reminds me a lot of Old Dark Fired. Not what I was expecting.
Not far from finishing this bowl of Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a smooth 1976 Canadian GBD Seventy Six 256.
Now smoking Jim's VaBur in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian. This will get me to dinner time.

A couple minutes away from smoking Watch City Flake #558 in a 1980 medium bend black sandblasted silver band Peterson Donegal 805 Bulldog. Haven't tried this crumble cake before nor have I smoked this pipe in a while. It's time for both!
