I remember 333 having a unique taste. Not saying it was topped but to me it has a casing of sorts that wasn't for me. That was a few years back so maybe I should try again.
Smoking C&D Pegasus in a Sav Roma Lucite 320 with black coffee.
I smoked basket pipes for 10 years on and off and had a hell of a time. Never a great experience.
This was my first factory pipe and I was blown away with how much better and cooler the smoke was from what I was used to with my...
Corn Cob Pipe & a Button Nose - but I've only had the cube cut version and was disappointed to see it go completely ribbon cut.
Also C&D Canal Boat - cube cut burley, black cav, and Latakia. Topped with something that makes it taste like toasted marshmallows.
There's a few Mac Baren blends I'll miss.
HH Burley
HH Bold Kentucky
Golden Extra
I'm alright though. Now if something happens to C&D, that'll be rough.
I like burley, but to me Peretti's casing wasn't for me. It was good, but not my preference. Felt like an American Lakeland because the floral notes were present to me.
