    Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired in a MM unplastered Diplomat apple. A big steaming cup of masala chai to accompany, on a cool, overcast Pacific Northwest day.

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

    First ever bowlful of Watch City Old Black Magic. This is the first WC blend I haven't liked from the get-go. This particular batch is as damp as any sozzled aromatic ever thought about being, and rubbing out a generous couple of pinches and letting it sit out for about 30 minutes before...

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

    After 2 bowls of C & D Sansepolcro in an Ali bent billiard meer, I can say this blend has definitely piqued my interest. It's good fresh out of the tin, but I'm going to put my other tins away and let them sit a while (at least 6 months). There's a small but persistent harshness to the...

    @rushx9 - that's a mighty evocative description: "hot horse trailer". Maybe they can use that to reel in the affluent pipe-smoking hippophiles! I have a few tins of C & D's Sansepolcro coming my way today, and am going to make that my first bowl of the day.

    I hadn't before you mentioned them - I googled and got "Club d'Elf", a Boston-area band?

    One of my college buddies said something similar; he said he couldn't take these bands seriously, because the vocalists all sounded like someone had a Sesame Street character on a medieval torture rack! :ROFLMAO: Do you like Om or Mastodon?

    It sounds like you're trying a lot of different blends, too, which is the only real way to find out wutcha really like! puffy

    A handsome bit o' briar there!

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

    I only smoked a bowl of that blend once, and I found the grape component so over the top, and it so thoroughly dominated anything else that I dumped it out halfway through. Maybe C & D have toned it down a bit, or maybe your tin is a bit older?

    Don't ask, don't tell.

    Maybe it's a generic one made by a randy woodworker with a sideline in tampers and, er, briar plugs?

    Isn't that just to seal up the pipe after it's been packed and partially smoked, but you want to save the remainder to smoke later? Like the ones Savinelli make.

    Stem Material

    Horn is a nice stem material too. I don't detest acrylic the way some smokers do, but given a choice, I'll always take ebonite or horn.

    Several people on this thread carrying out the rationalization self-conversation we all know all too well ("I'll hold off buying any more tobacco after this order...."). :LOL:
