    Half a Bowl of Quiet Nights

    So, in the end, I mixed it with a bit of Charing Cross. I actually thought about mixing it with Meridian since I had some of that opened, as well. Meridian is an interesting blend to me, in that nothing really takes center stage. But Charing Cross is one of my favorites. I've always thought...

    Hey from Middle Tennessee

    Welcome! What part of mid-TN are you? Not far from Murfreesboro, myself.

    Latakia blends

    Charing Cross is great. It is a regular go-to for me (as are the others I mentioned). The thing that happens when you get to that 7ish year mark, is the flavors have meld together so much that you really can't pick out the individual components anymore. I have some 12 year old Magnum Opus that...

    Latakia blends

    Oh yeah, I've had them every step of the way. Basically, for the last 12 or so years, Ive been buying 2-3 times what I smoke of these and Charing Cross. And I'll also hop on tin bids and grab the occasional deal of some tins that have some age on them already. I call them my retirement stash.

    Latakia blends

    I'm getting close to the point where I will only be smoking 10+ year old Westminster, WhiteKnight, BlackHouse and Magnum Opus. I loved it when I got to the 3 year mark. Then 5. Now basically 8 across the board.

    Nashville Pipe Meetup 11.18.23

    Yep, still on the square. And The Humidor is next door but I think it was 310 back then.

    Nashville Pipe Meetup 11.18.23

    Near Murfreesboro. I can make the treck up. We also have Liquid Smoke down here which is great for the cold months.

    Nashville Pipe Meetup 11.18.23

    Nice! Sorry I missed it but will pay attention for the next one. We have a few nice options in this area for meetups.

    Core Four

    I've had a core 5 for quite some time that hasn't really changed. They are: Westminster Charing Cross WhiteKnight BlackHouse Magnum Opus If I had to eliminate one, I think it would be BlackHouse. But that's a tough cut to make.

    Remembering McClelland Red Virginias

    Isn't that the truth... I understood the bbq sauce aroma on tin pop but it didn't affect the smoke for me. I wasn't the biggest fan but I LOVED FMotT, FMC and Blue Mountain. I miss those. There were others I liked and wish I could get my hands on again but if they were on the shelf and they...

    Half a Bowl of Quiet Nights

    Oh I have more! That's just my currently opened tin of Quiet Nights. It's a staple in my rotation, for sure.

    Half a Bowl of Quiet Nights

    That's what I've got left in my tin of Quiet Nights. I have Chelsea Morning and Charing Cross open right now and think I'll mix it with a half a bowls worth of one. Both are a bit more muted with their latakia. Which would you choose?

    Birthday Presents to Yourself

    Well, I'm close to the 25th... but it's the 16th. I still get asked if it suck having a birthday so close to Christmas, though.

    Thanks! It was a beautiful afternoon yesterday here in Tennessee. Now it's Chelsea Morning in my Rinaldo on this chilly morning.

    Blends Showcasing Yenidje or Basma

    What happened to McClellands stock? I'd assumed they sold it all off (assuming they had enough stored away)
  19. dburrows

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

    Oh I love Abingdon and keep it in my stash. There are others in the same vein that I stash more, but I encourage anyone to try it if you like a bit more latakia in your Balkan.

    Blends Showcasing Yenidje or Basma

    So McClelland had Yenidje Supreme and Frog Morton on the Town that each featured these Orientals. Obviously these go fir crazy amounts if the come up for sale at all anymore. So, I'm on the hunt for blends that feature these tobaccos well, similar (but not looking for exact copies) to the...
