The past week it was Frog Morton in the B-C Black n' Red Apple Corsar and/or the Prince Albert/Double Eagle mix in an MM cob.
Also this past week it was Upslope Brown Ale and Full Sail LTD 5 Amber Ale. The Upslope didn't match well with the FM; which surprised me as it is a deeper/robust brown ale which I figured would pair up decent. The Full Sail LTD 5 was a much better match with FM and it's a sweeter/fruitier amber. Both beers were note-worthy however.

Walnut in my Dr. Grabow Viscount.
Pretty good. My first smoke in the pipe and I did not know Walnut was a latakia blend. I had thought it was a burley like PA or other OTCs I have tried. It was a pleasant surprise. Very light latakia blend and enjoyable.
PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in my Savinelli Bent Bob's.
I believe this was too moist as it kept going out and not wanting to relight. I finally dumped the bowl after about 10 minutes of wrestling with it.
Altadis Kentucky Blizzard in my Bent Bulldog Meerschaum.
Pretty good blend. I was in the mood for an Aro and decided why the hell not. I only smoke Aros in my meerschaums as they don't really ghost like a briar would. It also provides a very cool smoke. This has an interesting taste as so much is going on in the blend but it is pretty good. Not the best aromatic I have tried but not the worst.

Woke up this morning, 4/18/11, to a beautiful white blanket of snow covering everything.
Celebrated with HOTW in a Ben Wade Ovation bulldog.
