Tonight I had a bowl of 2010 FVF in my Wiebe custom and now a bowl of 2012 Royal Yacht in my Bent Viking. Good night indeed

What type of tobacco is Strang?

My review ought to answer some of your questions:

This is a rope blend that cuts into coins fairly easily, though you should definitely dry it some before smoking because it will smoke wet. I packed the bottom with loose tobacco, stacked the coins, adding a little loose tobacco on top for an easier char lighting. By stacking the coins, you'll get all the flavors in nearly every puff, but if you decide to cube cut first, you'll be in for a variety of flavors in varying degrees per puff. The flavors are bold and forceful. A naturally tasting earthy, very slightly sweet brown Virginia amplified by strong nutty, earthy burleys, and further fueled by a blast of peppery perique. It's a flavor bomb, but not so powerful that it would knock you to your knees. A blend for discriminating smokers best served and sipped in a pipe with a wide bowl to savor the full experience of high quality tobaccos. Expensive and available only from Germany.

Not far from finishing this bowl of 2011 Villiger Maryland No. 333 in a 1982 smooth slight bend straight grain Ben Wade Martinique freehand sitter with a wide top.

Fall is here, cold and wet. Just finished a bowl of DPE in my Big Ben Ranger and it sure is a pleasure to have my hands warmed by this pipe with the cooler temps.

Prince Albert cut with a touch of Perique, Latakia, Turkish, Toasted Black Cav, and Maryland I had laying around.

I've decided that I quite like Carter Hall, at least for puttering around the office all day. PA, on the other hand, does absolutely nothing for me.

Not that far away from finishing this bowl of Peter Stokkebye Nougat in a 1975 medium bend sandblasted looking, smooth on the sides yellow Pioneer meer. Busy day here!
