Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and green beans dinner with pineapple and cherries for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl of Hill & Hill Virginia Puro in a 2014 smooth medium bend Basil Meadows egg with an aluminum band and a "root beer swirl" acrylic tapered stem. This will finish the sample.

Cheers to SPC! It took two days for them to send me out a replacement tin of my moldy Savinelli 140 Anniversary blend. If that ain’t customer service, I don’t know what is! Hats off to them!

Trying this blend out for the first time in my BB Savinelli Rhodesian



It’s pretty wild how much lighter this fresh tin is compared to the tin with 4 years on it;

Germain’s King ? Charles Smoking Mixture in my Sasieni Four Dot Amesbury Canadian. Although I got this pipe back in June, smoking it for the first time.

Too late to edit... this pipe is a Stanwell not a Savinelli.

Just finished this bowl of Peter Stokkebye No. 17 English Luxury in a quarter bend smooth dark brown small bowl 2016 Brigham Algonquin 226 Rhodesian with a long black vulcanite tapered stem. Trying to decide what movie m'lady and I are going to watch. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Did it change too when STG acquired the tobacco? Because Irish Flake got knackered. Supposedly Rattray Stirling Flake is my old IF, but it’s usually out of stock when I think about ordering it.

They changed Sherlock Holmes years ago from a really nice straight Virginia ribbon to a Virginia/? With a very noticeable casing.

After I eat this peach, I'm going to have a bowl of year 2013 Stonehaven in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing how it darkens with age. Loving the raw finish of it.
