    Yesterday evening was some H&H Sunjammer. Last night was some Altadis Creme Brulee.

    Today the last couple bowls of my Dark VaPer Trail and some D&R AB Rimboche. Makes a damned fine smoke in a pipe and I'm using it to get a better feel for Latakia in a bowl. I smoked way too much of the AB in cigarettes one night and have had the latakis cringes ever since. Very very nice piping today.

    This is one that Mark Ryan translated well. It's really a blend much more suited to the pipe than cigarettes. And given it was a relatively late entry into his stable I think he already knew which way the wind was blowing with myo SCHIP

    Here's a description.

    Rimboche AB Blend Pipe Cut Tobacco-3.5 OZ Can

    A tangy blend of the finest flue-cured Gold Leaf tobaccos, a unique dark-fired tobacco that has been processed by the Perique method, and a touch of Latakia for spice and passion.

    Balance of Flue-Cured and Rare Perique Tobaccos.

    I won't see any communication directed to me here. I'm no longer active at this forum.

    Trying a new mix I put together, one pouch borkum riff whiskey, 1 pouch borkum riff ultra light, half pouch of borkum riff black Cavendish and a pouch of Sir walter raliegh (regular). Pretty nice so far, has a nice vanilla taste. It is burning smooth with no bite.

    jonesing,
    By what I infer from your posts, you might try McClelland's Royal Cajun blends. Lots to explore, so little time.

    Indeed Cortez I have a tin of Dark waiting in my P&C cart. Interesting backs tory is that the guy who makes Cajun Black (perique processed DF VA) was Mark Ryan's partner in the perique business. Mark bought him out and let him keep the name Cajun Black. Mark, calls it Arcadian Black now. Thus AB Rimboche. Read more here

    Or perhaps you knew all that and that's the reason for the suggestion! In any event Thanks! I appreciate any advice I can get.

    Just finished another bowl of the AB and it's really really good stuff. Granted I'm an infant in the pipe world. But I do know what I like and don't. I really like this stuff. Very unique with the dark fired perique processed, flue cured, some perique and the latakia. Plays very sweet to my buds. Almost like a marshmallow burnt black on a camp fire.

    And it has a nice little nic kick too.

    What's not to like?

    Thanks for posting the AB Rimboché page. I had no idea Ryan's partner was behind it. I just had the feeling it was a tobacco genre you might appreciate. I'm glad we're in sync on that. Who would have thought that innovations in the RYO world would benefit pipe smokers?

    Luis! That 5100 sounds good. I think I'll pour some coffee and have a bowl too. How are things working out in the aftermath of the quake?

    Smoking McClelland British Woods in Bjorne Churchwarden. Filling bottles of filtered water, oddly enough. Speaking of quakes. Since the quake hit Chile, there has been a new emphasis on Q awareness, here in LA. All that left for me to buy is a butane camp cooker.

    Yes, McClelland 5100 it´s great, I have been smoking during the last month and becomes one of my favourites blends for smoke during th day in a medium pipe. For the evening I prefer a English blend like GL Pease´s Westminster or Cairo or Maxim Engel´s Macedonian Mixture in a large bowl after the dinner.

    THe half of the country still have problems, but in my region it´s OK, I live in the north coast, in a desertic region (Atacama´s desert). Nice warm weather, not tropical, but very sunny and dry, I look the ocean (pacific) during the mos part of the day.

    The next thursday will change the goverment (president) and the most of the major authorities, the new president will have a great task for the recostruction, the chileans ussually have eartquakes, but not so great that the last one. I have hope because my country has a small but solid econnomy and the democracy works better than ever, but the problems are the politicians who don´t think in the best for the people(like in all the world).

    After the earthquake in Chile, have been around 6 o 7 other earthquakes in differentes countries. May be is part of "global move". I hope this quakes stop soon. Dunendain keep a tobacco and emergency pipe!(dont forget the matches).
