Very pleasant smoke though I believe I would enjoy it more with the balsa wood filter in. But even with it in I can tell a huge difference between my bent bob, dr. Grabow, and this. It is by far superior.

I can't wait to see it! I'm assuming you went with one different than the Shannon series? Also, is it safe to smoke two bowls back to back in same pipe or should I switch pipes?

I've discovered C&D's Hebraica Series by Wm. Serad, and found a couple of blends that are quite good and should

appeal to most smokers. One of them, Boker Or, is this morning's choice. Boker Or means Morning Light, and by

a happy coincidence, today the Jewish People observe Rosh Hashanah. Best wishes to all of our Jewish pipe smoking friends;

and thank you Rabbi Ira Stone for collaborating with Serad on this blend series.

Rattray's "Hal O' The Wynd" in my Johs Bulldog
I'm not ususally a straight Virginia kind of guy, but this is very good.

It's a broken flake, and believe it or not, packs easily, burns well and tastes fabulous.

They got this one right. Just a straight forward tobacco taste, room and pouch note.

On a 5 star scale.... Rattray's "Hal O' The Wynd" is 4-3/4 stars in my book.

Good morning. It's Odyssey in the Cossack.

Best to all. http://pipesmagazine.com/members/fred/album/picture/537
Yes Cortezattic, yesterday did turn out to be Koncak Pipe day for me. The

Calabash and the Military Lattice are among the last Pipes he's carved...

It's the end of a dynasty of Carvers - one that prevailed for 3 generations.

Sticking with the Rosh Hashanah theme by smoking C&D's Or L'yom ("Dayight") in an Invicta bulldog.

It's a good, but rather Burleyish blend that, for me, goes better in the winter months; so I'll move to the

more Virginia-forward blends for the rest of the day.

Yesterday's 6.9" of rain has created today's sauna.... I'm staying

in the AC with Schurch No. 199 & Seamus. Best to all.
