My mix from yesterday in a Butz Choquin Regate saddle Dublin. C&D Cavendish Burley, Izmir, Va Flake and a nice spritz of McLelland's chopped perique. Perique can dominate or provide a more subtle counterpoint.

I like the latter applications and am trying to assess these tobacco marriages for consistently successful blendings.

Put a few bowls of Paladin Blackcherry through an old kaywoodie billiard I have yesterday. Apparently my technique is getting better. That pipe used to gurgle all the time. Didn't have it happen more than once yesterday.

Started the evening with a Gran Habano Vintage 2002 seegar... it had a funky burn and was very disappointing. Switch or Orlik Golden Sliced in an straight, blasted Design Berlin apple... now THAT was MUCH BETTER!
