The Virginias are citrusy sweet, grassy and hay-like. The burley is mildly nutty, toasty sweet, adding a little substance. The Orientals are smoky, woody and spicy, and are evident in every puff, but do not dominate. While the Virginias act as a base for the other components, they tend to take the lead more than the burley does. Burns at a more than moderate rate, but should not be puffed at a fast pace, or you risk the presence of it burning hot as well as getting a cigarette taste. The flavor is consistent to the finish. Has a mild nic-hit, leaves virtually no moisture in the bowl, and the after taste is pleasant. The Orientals tend to make for a woody room note. An all day smoke if you're so inclined.
Sounds good, doesn't it?

Rainy night starting up. Supposed to get some serious rain this weekend.
Smoked some Ruins of Isengard in a MM Country Gentleman. This has been sitting up for most of the year.
It is good stuff. It makes me think of building a fire in a mossy, damp cave. Perfect for a slightly cool, rainy night.

Listing this a couple minutes early: MacBaren Navy Flake in a 1970s black sandblasted Savinelli Autograph 05 Horn. Have enough left for one more bowl.

You know what makes smoking a pipe difficult?
Hiccups.

, I sure wish we were getting some of that rain. I've got food plots that need some water before muzzle loading season opens.
Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.

It's strong and I like it in a small bowl.
