Monday Pipe Meeting- Allentown, Reading, Bethlehem

[papipeguy]

had a great time at the Wooden Match. Russ O joined us and unveiled his newest blend- White Knight, which is his interpretation of the classic Balkan Sobranie. Simply incredible to those of us there and a sure winner.
Ross, Dan and John discussing the finer points of blending.

Myles and Fred wondering what the others are talking about.

:D I had a wonderful evening with great company and tobacco.
Thanks for the pictures!

Great pix, John, thanks!
Another great evening of beer, meat and pipe talk. It was a pleasure to finally meet Russ and talk blending for a while. Russ is not only passionately inquisitive about tobacco and the art/science/craft of flavor, but he's an all-around nice guy who loves to talk about it, too.
Oh, and White Knight? Put some TAD cash aside, folks.

Looking forward to everyone on April 28. Spring may actually be here by then. And Dan, your house blend rocks. I'm really enjoying it.

 

[woodsroad]

Many thanks, John. The best part of blending is giving it away to an appreciative crowd of fellow pipers.

Is White Knight the sample that was given out in the grab bags from P&C last month? If so, it smelled great but I haven't smoked it yet

 

[bluesmk]

Man, it would figure. Didn't make it and Russ showed up....AGAIN! damn it.

Looks like fun. I look forward to trying the new blend, hopefully it will be for sale soon!

Yes, WhiteKnight was the sample in the IPSD goodie bag. We'll be giving out samples at the Chicago show, and it will go up for sale at the same time- May 2nd.
