I have not been diligent about posting this month so far, but as soon as I get off the bus I am going to relight some Royal London Dock in my 5101 Kaywoodie yacht.

I couldn't wait to try it, even though it puts me at my 3-bowl-per-week maximum: I just received a vintage Chacom that I picked up on a lark and my sample of 'Sweet Briar' from Sterlings. DAMN!
I think I just got really lucky, because the pipe smokes incredibly sweet right out of the gate, as does the tobacco--I may have to dedicate them to each other, in fact. Even the colors are just perfect for each other!
My completely amateur review:
In the bag: small light flakes of a honey-lemon aroma, not too rich, not too complex; if you have a leather sofa next to a wooden table that you just cleaned with Murphy's oil soap and a spritz of Pledge, then bottle that smell, this is it.
Charring light: took to the flame nicely, not a voluminous cloud but a healthy puffy start; taste is a lot milder than the smell and entirely pleasant.
Throughout: Stayed lit with great ease especially considering my beginner abilities. Burns slow and steady, flavor gaining some weight from mid-bowl to bottom. Ash is loose and light; must be careful not to over-tamp (that's my bad).
Room Note: I actually smoked this outside, and received 6 separate, unsolicited comments on how sweet and nice it smelled. Imagine that on a sidewalk!
Overall: The taste, coupled with the remarkable service (as noted extensively on this forum) from Sterling has garnered another customer. I'm filling in my order sheet for a pound of this and a sample of a few others.
The Chacom: I reckon it's a Canadian with a tiny forward sweep, oval shank and a peculiar tapered saddle bit (acrylic by the feel of it). Smokes SUPERBLY--in fact it far exceeds my technical skill. This bowl was one of those epiphany moments that made me realize what smoking a pipe is all about. I had purchased this for resale (I got it at a steal) but it's not leaving my rotation now.

A mixture of the remnants of some PS Golden Dansk and Lane 1Q in an MM cob. This bowl follows a round of Jamesons chased by Guinness - it's a school night but I had to do it anyway. A very good evening to all.

I told myself I wasn't going to smoke any more of my SG FDF. I'm trying to cellar it so I have some for the rest of the year, but last night's bowl was so good I couldn't help myself. So an encore of SG Fire Dance Flake in my Neerup 1/4 bent blasted egg.

Hola Everyone. Last night finished with 2 bowls of 1776 Old Dominion - Yowsa this tobacco totally rocks. Sweet, complex, with plum, rum and charcoal/toast flavors. Glad I have an 8 ounce stash. I see romeowood tried the Sweet Briar which is a lovely vanilla based blend. I started my smokefest with that one. Followed by 4 Noggins Bald Headed teacher.
Smoked the Old Dominion in a French no name Canadian and the the Sweet Briar and Bald Headed Teacher in an Italian no name Carved Pot.

I envy those currently smoking Penzance. However I did treat myself today - I know that it doesn't really fit the narrative of a forum at pipesmagazine.com but this thread is called "what are you smoking" after all- I just finished a Don Diego Playboy. Mild and absolutely sublime. Happy Friday!
