Sitting on the back porch with the wife watching the sun go down, listening to some music and sipping iced tea from mason jars.

She's smoking a 50/50 mixture of Boswell's Cherry Smash & Cult Blood Red Moon in a floral meershaum. (She calls this her Very Cherry blend)


I'm enjoying a bowl of University Flake in a Peterson XL02 rusticated Emerald P-lip.

Evening pipe: C&D Night Train in my grand canyon sized bowl. Second time having Night Train and I may be a bit smitten. It was still a little wet when I started it, so a bit more relights than I am used to. However, once it was going...blissful. I think the vitamin N in that just makes me tired. So far (knock on wood), I have not had one of these really bite me. Definitely mellow now, though.

Working on a review of this blend, which is Basma and Izmir forward with a fair amount of white and dark burleys as well as some red and gold Virginias.

Have to admit I was scrolling backwards and didn’t expect @JimInks to pop up when I saw the pipe! ? Was the choice related to the blend?

I’ve been smoking the new 2022 Burley London Blend now for about a week. When I first opened it I was slightly disappointed as I found it to be heavily topped with chocolate. The chocolate topping substantially dissipated in a matter of 2-3 days, completely changing the flavor profile (I’m smoking it out of the tin and not jarring it). It’s now a blend that I’m enjoying and I am just astonished at how swiftly and significantly that chocolate topping dissipated. I’m happy!
