Have a trip across town I need to make in a little bit so I'm drying out a (hopefully) delightful combination of Newminster 400 Navy Flake laced with a coin of G&H Black Cherry Twist, all rubbed out together.
FYI, Newminster 400 is a very nice VA flake once you get a little age on it. For a quality flake tobacco it's dirt cheap too... or at least it was when I bought a stockpile of it :p :p Haven't checked prices lately.
Good to hear buddy. Enjoy!......Quote:

smoked some sutliff Country Doctor match in a wessex basket pipe I replaced the stem on. I used a stem essentially the same as what comes on the MM freehand cobs. I find it a bit wide and not particularly comfortable. Not much improvement over the stem it came with unfortunately. I'll keep my eyes out for another blank at some point I guess.
Gotta hurry up and enjoy this one,Mrs is coming home tonight and
I'll be banished to the living room with my English/orientals.

That's what I've been doing lately, reducing my pipe collection by selling them on Ebay. Starting off the day with a bowl of G&H Black Bogie in a Yello-Bole pipe.Quote:

So I finally got a bowl of CB Royal in my Friar.
I finished up the last of the Black Bogie last night and this morning, before work, I'm smoking a bowl of my first homemade pressed VaPer blend in an Albert John egg-billiard.
Grabbing a smoke at lunch of some G&H Curly Cut in the Hendon billiard.
Well, I don't have a pic for today.But I snuck in a bowl of SPS Black Swan this morning and a
bowl of Oriental Blend in my DG Savoy after dinner.Happy smokes guys !
Just got back from Pipe Club night and had:
Germain's Royal Jersey in an old beat up Dunhill billiard - I really enjoyed this tobacco but don't know much about it; a friend gave me some.
Solani Aged Burley Flake in a an old beat up Dunhill billiard - I puffed this one too fast and let the pipe get too hot, then changed my smoking style after it cooled down.
Smoking some Red & Black in Dunhill billiard. Pretty tasty blend
Hands down my favorite at the moment.Quote:

It's pretty good, but tastes young. I think I'll go ahead and jar the rest of this tin up and put it away for a while. I'm sure a couple years will do it a lot of good.
I finished out last night with a bowl of PS Navy Flake in a Dunhill Shell billiard. I was pleasantly surprised by this blend; it's very smooth and tasty. I thought it would be bitey.
I like the big 3 of theirs. Luxury Navy Flake, Luxury Bullseye Flake and Luxury Twist Flake are all really tasty.Quote:

When you said it was flakes, I knew that what I have is the wrong blend. Got it from a friend and he must have had the labeling on the bags mixed up. This stuff tastes like a lightly topped aromatic, don't know what it is. Just mixed 1/3rd of it with 2/3rds of G&H Black Irish X and it was a good smoke. The aromatic gave the monochromatic twist a little depth. Smoked it in a Comoy's Guildhall billiard.Quote:

Managed to sneak in another half a bowl of Nightcap in a cob a couple days ago but it's been too hot and muggy to enjoy much smokery lately. I'm not one to stink up my house with stale tobacco smoke and smoking while sweating doesn't strike me as particularly enjoyable so I'll take most of July and August off.
I found the LNF a bit bitey and sharp fresh but very nice after a year or so. I've cellared a bunch of it. Only one I haven't tried is LTF. I read several reviews and the consensus seemed to be it was quite mild tasting; more so than the other two. Mild ain't my thing so I never ordered any.Quote:

Good stuff. One of the few aromatics I enjoy... though I haven't enjoyed said blend in a long timeQuote:

The Christmas Cheer is excellent as well. We were drinking a 12-pack sampler of Hoppy beers brewed by Terrapin.

Dang-it John, you really "threw me" with this "Red and Black" tobacco; I had never heard of it.:zzz: I had only really explored tin tobaccos last year. It seems that McClelland has come up with a very good idea resulting in a tasty tobacco.:piper: I was glad that Paul (Cool Breeze) also liked this blend.:wave: I have put "Red and Black" at the top of my list when I order more cigars and tobacco in the fall. Thanks for the post.:beerchug:Quote:
