This morning I came back from my 2 mile 'constitutional' walk and put the wick to about 3 pipes holding remnants and now I've got a full bowl in my MM Diplomat 2nd, which is comprised of more stuff than I even know, since some of it is from P&C and is called "Best of the Rest"...I had purchased this 'blend' over a year ago and smoked a bowl now and then. It smelled awful in the tin, but provided a halfway decent smoke.

Then, I added that to another batch of tobacco I'd mixed in another cost savings measure in an attempt to use up some of my 'less desirable' leaf. I'm talking about OHM Bold. I'd mixed some of the bold with some good tobacco to try to make it palatable. Now it's all together. eh.

Contrast is what makes for the most vivid flavor. Like, smoke a bowl of mediocre tobacco and then next, one that is widely acknowledged as top shelf.

It's almost ALL good!

Good morning, lords and ladies of the leaf! So far, it's another mild and pleasant one here. So, some Hearth & Home Midtown Chatham Manor in an MM 5th Avenue cob should be enough to get the ball rolling. Here's hoping that rest of you guys have a great day.
