Enjoyed a wonderful salad, cobia and asparagus dinner with strawberries for dessert. Since then, I smoked Cascadia Campsite in a 2002 smooth natural straight silver banded Ardor Venere Extra Fatta A Mano Maigret billiard, signed by Dorelio Rovera and a black acrylic tapered stem.

And just finished this bowl of Cascadia Vertical Limit in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem. This was a long smoke.

Enjoyed a tasty Jazz apple, and am a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke No. 222 in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Have enough left for three more bowls. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Working and listening to the MLB talk on the XM.

A bowl of Dunhill London Mixture in my Savinelli De Luxe bulldog with saddle stem. I seem to develop a taste for Latakia in the warmer months, though most seem to report getting the craving during the winter. No idea why, but I'm happy to scratch the itch as I have quite a few tins that I'll need to get to one day as you can't take 'em with you.

Half way through this bowl of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a smooth straight brown circa WW2 Trapwell mountain laurel patent apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. I'll likely end the day with this smoke. Time to feed Suzy and Molly, and the outdoor feral cats.

View attachment 91043Early evening: Brigham Voyageur filled with Mac Baren Vanilla Cream.
re: the blend - I read many favorable reviews for this one, which generally acknowledge the up-front vanilla flavor and overall sweet, easy smoke. But gents, I gotta tell ya, this is my second go-round and I’m not lovin’ it. For me it’s more bitter than sweet, with an unpleasant, almost acrid presence and aftertaste. Maybe I got a bad batch? Anybody love this one? Anyone have a bad experience? Happy to have your thoughts.
I don't know your puffing cadence, but perhaps you puff it too quickly. If that's not the problem, it may be that you are having a bad reaction to one of the tobaccos. You may also try another pipe.
