***What Are You Smoking, August 2020?***

[lordofthepiperings]

Mac Baren Stockton in a Sam Adebayo blasted Lovat with bakelite stem and boxwood accent. Really liking the Stockton blend, especially in the morning when it's only 83 degrees here in Vegas now. I think for me this would be more of a fall/winter blend, because the evening bowl that it was 108 degrees when i had wasn't quite as good of an experience. Still good flavors, just one of those oh this is a blend I like when it's not hot enough to bake a pizza on the sidewalk.

Been hiding this one deep in the treasure chest for a while but finally smoking it today.

See this is why @mso489 told us to add details ?. My fault. It has Burley, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Perique, and Virginia. Kind of a strong, full flavored blend. I’d maybe even go so far as to call it an acquired taste for most. I enjoy it straight or as a mixer to give body. Available pretty much anywhere as bulk.

The description is appreciated, but understand your hesitance. I always am a little gun shy about giving my notes on a pipe tobacco I feel is well established- "Hey guys! Have you heard about this thing they are calling bread?! Me personally, I find it soft, but still pleasantly chewy. Notes of yeast, great to spread things on, but hey, that's just my take."

Smoking some Wilke 911 in a no name second I bought in 1989, it was In a pack of 12 pipes all different shapes for $30. They were unfinished. They all had France stamped on the stems. I don’t think they sell packs like this anymore, or do they?
