Well I've been saving this one for today, Christmas Day. Comoy's Cornish Mixture. Very enjoyable first bowl. Fruity, hints of chocolate, very feint spice. Nice aroma. Smokes beautifully, one relight so far. Thick ribbon cut, almost a crumbled flake.

Opened a big ass tub of Edward Gim Inks for a Christmas smoke. Cheers, everyone!

In honor of Brian reviewing the tin I gave him at the Vegas show, it seemed only right that I open one. Dan Tobacco Tumblin’ Dice.

Nice. I just listened to the podcast episode about the Kearvaig Pipe Club. I’ll have to give this one a try if I ever see it in stock.

I haven't seen it in stock in the US for nearly 5 years.

New blend, Watch City's Strange Magic Flake. First two flakes out of the bag before I rub them out and smoke them later. Smells great out of the bag!

I grabbed the limit on this one. Glad I did. I found it to be quite good.

Got this tin for Christmas yesterday. My wife got me this tin, but I had bought a few only last week. Family comes from County Limerick from recent past so I thought I'd give it a go on Christmas.

A very mild, but sweet smoke in my opinion. I quite like it!

Reminds me of Elizabethan Mixture without all the suck.

Just now noticing the "slight" typo on this tin..

Cracked a 4 yr old tin of SG FVF and it smells amazing! I was a little concerned with the dented tin, but it wasn't an issue.

A couple years ago I got this from "Hoosier-turned-Gator" in a big box purchase from him. I've had a sample before and enjoyed, so I finally got around to opening this. It's as good as I remember, and I'm glad I also have a tin (maybe 2) tucked away for the future.

Here's a "tin" of perique that I had the pleasure to see opened recently. Ah the aroma...

And a few more perique barrels maturing.

Here's a tin of Davidoff Royalty when freshly opened. Such lovely colors and aromas. This is a great light-english tobacco that I really like and can recommend. It would be a great introduction to English blends; its mostly mature Virginia but with enough latakia and a good mix of orientals to make it really interesting.

I've never tried this as it isn't available in the UK. Is it regular Brown Flake broken up or is it different in some way?

That's a really shitty pallet to have those heavy barrels on
