Congrats & welcome aboard. I’ve never owned a yellobowl, but the color sure is cool, like the shape as well. Stem work looks elegant imho.

what are some of the blends you are enjoying?

So far I really enjoyed the Stokkebys Vanilla Creme mixed with a little Louisiana Perique.

I also have these that I am waiting to try when I get home from work.
I work on a towboat pushing barges across the ICC 20 days at a time so I have to pack alot of tobacco to last me.

Blends introduced after February 2007 will be taken off the market unless they are submitted for a very costly inspection. So far this is supposed to take effect next year unless it gets extended. A few tobacco and pipe manufacturers have already folded and gone by the wayside. Many smokers have taken to collecting vast amounts of tobacco, most call cellaring, in preparation for this "tobaccolypse".

A very concise summation.
