    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Falcon stuffed with GLP Maltese Falcon that I jarred back in 2020. It has been a long time since I last smoked any of this. I didn't remember much about it except that I liked it (I have six tins of this in my cellar). I still like it. The blend has completely married and offers some pleasant...

    McClelland # 5110 Dark English Full

    My apologies I misstated that, yes, it is a bulk blend, Ravenwood is selling it in 50g mylar pouches.

    McClelland # 5110 Dark English Full

    Well, I missed out on the "McClelland Era" of pipe tobacco being a dedicated cigar smoker during that time. On the occasions that I did have a pipe I smoked what I am relatively certain were various Lane blends from the local tobacconist. Recently I splurged a bit for a tin of #5110 Dark English...

    Well, if 5100 is a "wow", I'll keep an eye out for it. Though knowing the rarity of certain McClelland tobaccos, I doubt an (affordable) opportunity will present itself.

    Falcon stuffed with Ravenwood Three Farthing Stone. A very good-tasting sweet, English blend

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    Stanwell bent apple stuffed with C&D Sansepolcro. A very complex and interesting blend, like drinking unsweetened spiced chai in a smoky room. This blend just would not settle down, a clear indication that this needs to age. Once it finally "ties the knot" I think it will be sublime.

    1 tin of McClelland #5110. Ravenwood Tobacco has acquired some from 2012 and is selling it in 50gr tins. I bit pricey but I missed the whole "McClelland era" being primarily a cigar smoker during that time. So, I decided to splurge a bit and give it a try. I am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

    Just scratching the 'ol HPL itch with this, I am enjoying it so far.

    I have not tried Nepenthe, but Moose Marmalade has become a favorite of mine. And I agree 100% about the tin art, excellent!

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    Been smoking Swiftcurrent Lake for the last couple of weeks, primarily in cobs though the Pete 122 and the Falcon have been seeing regular duty. I really enjoy this blend, the only issue it has is that it burns hot no matter which pipe or cadence. So, it is a good choice if you are having a...

    What's your favorite aromatic?

    I remember liking Eastfarthing, but it has been a long time. I'll have to dig it out of my cellar and reacquaint myself with it.
