Three Smokes from Two Days Ago - killing three birds with one post. All, to me, very interesting smokes:

Started off mid-day with my
meer-lined bowl (mounted) on my Bent-Falcon. It's dedicated to Backwoods Buttered Rum, my hands down favourite of the breed. Had the usual superb smoke.
A couple of hours later, I thought it would be interesting to try the same tobacco in my almost broken in
Savinelli Bing. I'd been coxing it along with dark cavendish tobaccos. It's a sipper, a company pipe, and it has a very generous capacity. Glad I gave the
Backwoods Buttered Rum a try in this great pipe. It matched the nuances of the meer bowl - a definite winner! A pair of aces! I won't hesitate to smoke this tobacco in the
Sav in a social situation - and I'll get a nice, long smoke. I find the Backwoods product to be full and rich, without the drop off about 60% the way through the smoke, like most flavoured aromatics.
Earlier that day, my new
Falcon Bantam Bowl arrived, so having the Falcon frame out, I stoked the bowl with my just hot off the press
"Gord's Bargain Basement English", as this will be my at-home Falcon bowl for English Tobaccos. Had the usual and expected not noteworthy break-in smoke. I'll try the bowl with Balkans as well before committing.
Interesting pair of smokes this evening - will report on them tomorrow.
Cheers.
