So close . . .
I picked up a couple of tins of C&D "The Beast" from P&C this week. This is a hand numbered, limited release blend inspired by occultist Aleister Crowley. One of my tins was number 665. I guess that makes it the neighbor of the beast. Ren- renfield

Virginia Contrarinanism
It's a story repeated every year when the weather turns cooler that many switch from Virginia blends to more lat heavy offerings. I go the other way.

Dirty Larry
The mood struck and I mixed a 50/50 blend of Magnum Opus and Larrys Blend. The pipe was a Pete Rhodesian dedicated to lat blends. Along with a greater latakia presence the chamaeleon nature of Magnum Opus is magnified. The first part of the bowl is lat forward with a solid underpinning of...- renfield
