With Thanksgiving coming next week, I felt like opening something holidayish. 2022 Sutliff Cringle a flake will work nicely. Lots of sparkling crystals. But it sure made me nervous when I opened it.
2nd pic is with a flash.
I really haven’t been smoking English blend lately, but got a craving for some Syrian Latakia. Smoking GL Pease Renaissance in this Radice twin-bore bulldog.
First Friday of the month! Another fun meeting tonight at the Houston Pipe Club. Good crowd tonight.
I got to try the new Carolina Red Flake with Perique and the old Rimboche SJ. Also smoked HU Moroccan Bazaar - fascinating blend.
@Egg Shen, that razor is a Gillette that is generally referred to as a “old type”.
If I’m reading the date code right, then it’s 1917. Add that its is nickel plated and has a ball-end handle, then it is likely a US Service set for the military.

Red VAs are my favorite leaf. One aspect not mentioned yet is spiciness. Good reds are spicy even without perique.
Favorites include CRF, Cringle Flake, Sutliff 515 RC-1 and HU My Red Fox.
