Never heard of Whale Song, and I thought I was pretty aware of the CS blends. What kind of tobacco is it?

What kind of tobacco is it?

Country Squire blew out a pile of McClelland leaf from their cellar in a "tribute" blend called Whale Song.
It has Virginia, Perique and Cavendish (I think).

It went on sale about 2 weeks ago and sold out quickly.

About a third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 44 in an undated straight, smooth light brown unbranded short shank Bing-ish billiard with a long, tapered black vulcanite stem.

A second bowl of Esoterica Margate

Rubbed out coins of the nouveaux Three Nuns in the Falcon Straight, in retrospect the Clay pipe produced much more flavor and detail from these coins. The headspace in the Falcon does its job very well, i can taste something is missing from Three Nuns in the Falcon after a smoke in the clay. Some of the flavor is trapped in the moisture which is being caught in the condensation chamber (humidome). Obviously this is no issue with the typical english blends that make up the bulk of my rotation.

Will try nouveaux Three Nuns in a Gourd Calabash next hoping it wont meld out the lovely 'dry fruit and nut' quality from this Coin.

P.S. Can anyone suggest a match to the old style with perique so i can compare?

Solani 633 (2015) in an Altinay. Sadly, this bowl finishes off the tin.

Last night. Scented bosun cut plug in a charatan supreme(from about 1945! I believe) sadly too strong for me ?

After a sumptuous Paschal feast, on this Easter Sunday with my family, I enjoyed a Partagas Short under the gazebo, for a lovely, warm but breezy, late afternoon smoke.
To all my Eastern Orthodox friends
Christos Anesti!

While I was working, I smoked D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem.


And I just finished smoking D&R Penhooker in a straight brown sandblasted post-WWII family era Sasieni “Canadian” London Made with a sterling silver band with a tapered black vulcanite twin bore stem.

Primitivo is an excellent full-bodied and intense wine, unfortunately I don't know this from California.

Good morning guys. Before lunch, I'm smoking Wessex Red Flake, in a Charles Towne Cobbler pipe, accompanied by a glass of red wine. Last day of the fair in town. I wish you a happy Monday.
