Looking forward to another pipey trip to Portugal in the morning - this time Casa Havaneza 1960, likely in my Tsuge pot. Tried the 1864 a month or two ago on a trade, and it was lovely.

Having some Sutliff Sweet VA, a gift from @Madbricky .
Gar's wife is now on my porch :)
Chenet’s Cake in a slight bend rusticated 1979 Savinelli Estella 310 poker. Have enough left for one more bowl.
I thought I'd have a nice tall bowl of FVF and settle in for the Giants/Dodgers game, then I remembered I finished that tin a couple days ago. So I started pulling tins of flake tobacco out of my cabinet, stopping after there were 8 different tins in front of me, not wanting to make a choice too difficult. Now I cannot decide. Maybe I'll just have a bowl of Carter Hall while I mull this over.
Durbar in a 1930s Custom-bilt.

Still on the fence with this one. Good Virginia tones but needs more latakia!
In a new to me Olde London from eBay

Part way through this bowl of MacBaren Modern Virginia in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band.
GL Pease Haddo's Delight in a square-shanked billiard
Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter.

Finishing up my 3rd bowl of Dunbar in a late 90s Savi Roma.

Still not getting this one. It tastes off. Think I'll be jarring this up and returning to it down the road. Maybe some rest will bring something out of it. Because right now it just tastes like a jumbled mess with nothing really taking the forefront.
Almost finished smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a medium bend 2002 MM Legend cob.
It's definitely one that earns the word "subtle"!Quote:

Just finished smoking McClelland Top Hat in a 1982 near full bend egg shaped Ascorti Business KS with a black ferrule and saddle stem.
Old Colonial in a medium bend beater 1979 Aalborg natural freehand made by Nording.

Ahh, I see what you're doing here; trying to save your reputation as a savi piper eh? :p :pQuote:

Smoking some tasty mixture @PMR sent me - a mix of a McClelland VaPer and H&H Obsidian. It's good. If you like VaPers I'd recommend mixing in a little latakia and see what you think. Goes good together. Second day in a row on this one.
London Mixture in a Hardcastle Zulu for a change this afternoon. I bought this tin of London Mixture in 2010 along with nine more, and saved three to age. The Virginias are nice and sweet and the latakia is smooth and mild.
Anniversary Kake in a smooth 1981 Century full bend natural egg.
Peterson University Flake in a MM Legend
Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter.
First bowl of the day for me
2015 Gawith Hoggarth Scotch Flake Aromatic in a 1985 Tilshead taper billiard.
Smoking some of the G&H Dark Flake Unscented that Pete foisted off on the unsuspecting. Not sure how they can get away with calling lilac hand soap unscented, but there it is.
Virginia Spice in a 1979 pebble relief Verona Corallo 3080 natural Oom Paul.
Having some homemade flake in a cob. It's a mix of VA, MD, and orientals, cased with Rum and vanilla. Been experimenting w/ VA and Navy flakes lately. This one's okay, not one of my better blends :)
GH Louisiana Flake in a Ser Jacopo Gemma Granato taper billiard.
A couple minutes away from smoking delicious Dunhill Navy Rolls in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog.
Hearth & Home Strikeforce in a billiard - such an excellent blend
C&D Habano Daydream in a billiard
Not far from finishing this bowl of Vincent Manil La Brumeuse Semois in a 2013 MM straight Legend.
SG Westmorland in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl.
Holy hell - Las Havanezas 1960 is amazingly good. Very well balanced, plenty of depth...this could be an everyday blend for me.
Except that I have to live in Portugal to get it with any regularity. Don't know if I like the guy who sent this to me or not.
My back hurts tonight. I may have self-medicated with a little too much Wild Turkey, but I still enjoyed a bowl of Gawith, Hogart & Co. Sweet Maple Twist. :pipe:
I even manager to use the cigar cutter without injury! So win-win!
Just finished smoking Reiner Long Golden Flake in a 2014 smooth quarter bend Basil Meadows horn.
Peretti’s #333 in a 2003 black sandblasted medium bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant blowfish.
