What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Haebar]

Just got back from the Knoxville Pipe Club meeting and had three bowls: Christmas Cheer 2016, C&D Small Batch Sansepolcro, and a bowl of my first blend made from whole leaf tobacco (Virginia, 2 kinds of Orientals, and a tad of Latakia).They were all excellent smokes! Smoked them in a Guildhall billiard:

Drucquer & Sons Levant Mixture in a black pebble finish straight 2003 Cavicchi C. Fatto A Mano lovat with a black acrylic stem.

Dunhill Elizabethan mixture in a Mark Tinsky rusticated bent bulldog.

Warren, this is a very nice tobacco. I got this tobacco last month and I am now having my 4th bowl of this mixture in my extra large Rossi freehand and I definitely like it. I am topping off this smoke with an ice cold mug of "Guinness Draught" brew and I am beginning to relax after a very busy day.

Drucquer & Sons Prince’s Blend in a 1977 straight black rusticated Sir Brent billiard with a silver band repair and a brown pearl grey acrylic stem.

I really like this one too. There's an Elizabethan Mixture match that is a bit less expensive and can be purchased in bulk, but every "match" I've tried has been disappointing so I stick with the real thing on this one.
