SPC Mississippi River in a MM Pride Strait
Already being a fan of LNF and hearing many people sing the praises of LBF I thought it was a safe gamble. I wasn't disappointed. If your flakes are on par then you're definitely doing something right.
Smoked a bowl of Bald Headed Teacher this morning in a GBD Sable.

More St James Flake in the Big Ben dublin. almost done with this and thinking about opening another tin...I don't know if I want to crack some Red Rapparee or 3 Oaks Syrian..hmmmm

1970s Union Leader in a 1990 smooth medium bend Nording freehand sitter with a wider top than bottom that also has a ridge and a narrower bowl resembling an upside down spout, with an amber colored lucite stem with cream swirls. I've enough for one more bowl.
Not far from finishing this bowl of SWRA in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot.
I assume that the 3 Oaks Syrian in American? (McClelland)
Rattray's all have a Scottish origin, you are correct.
Ken McConnell wasn't quite sure which of the Rattray's formulas were originally created by Rattray or McConnell except for Red Rapparree and Marlin Flake that he felt were McConnell created formulas. In truth, since McConnell made the Rattray line for many years the formulas were all changed perhaps many times over the years so that they were McConnell formulas but that doesn't affect it's origin. Of course the Rattray line is made by Kohlhase in Germany since 1989.
Ken McConnell felt that the Red Rapp was one of his finest creations. I do too. Make mine German! Open the Rapp!

Carter Hall in a straight stem cob Apple.
I'm a convert, always buy more for so many reasons that are not ageing. It's a very personal investment - you know the value.
Pardons, I took you too literally. Carl Ehwa founded McClelland and in 1977 that looked more impressive on a tin than Ehwa. but I don't know if the name has any significance.
2015 MacBaren Virginia #1 in a 1961 Barling's Make #7574 smooth canadian.

Was last night, but a bowl of Sutliff Old Professor. Really nice smoke, but it did not pass the wife test, haha.
OGS in my "new" CustomBilt
Ryan, that's why the almighty made the outdoors. Generally, if the wife don't lke it, it tastes good!
It's similar with cheese where the worse it smells the better it tastes with the exception of Limburger that was just a mistake that no one wanted to own.
2014 Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake in a 1983 James Upshall bX Striaght Grain saddle billiard with gold band.
Speaking of outdoors, I'm on the porch in a sweatshirt and it's beautiful, 63 degrees and the snow is almost gone :(.
2014 Gawith Hoggarth Broken Scotch Cake in a 1930s Barling's Make Ye Olde Wood smooth saddle billiard.
Opened up the pond this morning and I'm anxiously waiting to make a fish sighting. I may just be hoping against hope but 13 out of 14 made it last year. Fingers crossed.
Just finished smoking Sergeant Miller’s Inker’s Mixture in a 1982 near full bend egg shaped Ascorti Business KS with a black ferrule and saddle stem.
Villiger Late Night in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer.
2014 No Clue in a 1981 Mastro de Paja 1C sandblasted lovat.
No Clue was blended and graciously sent to me about 6 months ago by our own Wayne @OnePyroTec.
The humble name, No Clue, gives no indication of the sublime smoking experience to follow. It's one of the finest VaPers that I've ever encountered.
I was inspired to smoke the last of the No Name by the beautiful weather, it just seemed fitting. I banged the bag but there was no more.
Wayne was modest, even humble about his mixture but it's an achievement that any legendary blender would have relished to have called their own.
Kudos, kudos and more kudos Wayne, you knocked this out of the park! Now I smoke, ssshhhh. :) :)
