A number of people advised me to try it after my Stonehenge review, so I am obliging!
Small order from 4N...
Keen to try Storm Front, smells amazing.
The University Flake is alot darker than I expected it to be, don't know why I had that mental image though.
The Amphora Burley has an interesting pouch note!, first whiff was a full on tawny port slap to the face then all I can smell is like a tropical fruit juice smell, with a little chocolate.. sounds weird I know.
The UF tin note to be honest is sickly sweet, a bit over the top - so I'm airing it out for the day.
Too windy for me to smoke today so will have to wait.

Hit up the Pipes & Cigars sale for some things that I've been wanting to try:
Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Barrel Aged
GL Pease Spark Plug
Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls

I need to set my firewall to block smoking pipes dot com. I have zero self control
Joining in on the hype with a couple of tins of Sun Bear. Also some limited edition Samuel Gawiths reportedly blended in collaboration with Stanislaw and DTM.
This is what came in the mail this week

My family and I are at the beach for the week so my wife told me to stop by Low Country Pipes and Cigars and get that part of the trip out of my system. I visit the store about six times a year. So here is my score today:
8oz PS LNF
8oz PS LTF
3 100 gram tins of Sillems Black
The Sillems was in the dented tin bin. I got it for 12.95 a tin. I couldn't pass that up.
So as I was browsing and talking shop with some of the fine gentleman at Low Country, I expressed that it was ashame that they were out of PS LBF. One of the gentlemen went to the back and came out with a jar, his personal jar, of 2014 LBF and gave me a generous sample of this well aged tobacco. The folks at Smokingpipes \ Low Country are a class act and I can't say enough good things about my experience every time I visit their store.

Got an email about the Amphora sale at TobaccoPipes, and now have 5 pouches each of Original and Virginia coming my way.
I just ordered at my neighborhood tobacconist. 50 tin more than Capstan Blue Original Navy Cut..............Before the year is out, just in case............
I'm on the fence about that one. It does sound good but maybe a little heavy on the reds.
You'll have to let us know how it is.
Ordered 2 boxes of GH&C Brown Flake Unscented earlier today.
That's why I bought so many. Sounds like the same Virginia cavendish found in Autumn Evening. After midnight tomorrow I'm going back for ten more. My Deep Hollow pipe may be getting repurposed.
Being a creature of habit, I decided to deviate from my usual picks and try some blends I’ve not had before, though all within my usual parameters:
- GLP Chelsea Morning
- Presbyterian
- SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake
- C&D From Beyond
And of course a few tins of good old Capstan Blue, and by “a few” I wish I meant 50

Couldn’t pass up the P&C $20 off a week ago - plus they still had some GH in stock. Grabbed a 500gr box of Louisiana Flake, a tin of Hansom Flake and rounded out the $100 with pipe cleaners. $86 to my door in 2 days - feels like stealin’ ?
