July 31, 1970 according to my Pusser's Rum bottles.

You have good taste in rum

By name of blend, one can only assume this was an overpriced jar of tobacco?

I think it’s a “no smoke no fee” blend, but if you do have a bowl they come by and take 50% of it back.

Actually I was kindly given a jar by uncle Rasta and I really like it.

Morning everyone, had some Ten Russians in Grabow Riviera Dublin while walking WeeBay and returned home for more coffee and ‘23 Folklore in a James Upshall Dublin which I’m almost done with.
A previous post has made me take the Briar Works Country Lawyer off the shelf and sticking with the Dublin theme I’ll have it in this Kaywoodie Connoisseur #45C.

I’m not sure, it’s just marked as pipe tobacco, there was so many producers back then I suppose it could be any of them but could also be a US import labeled for the RN as rationing was in full effect.

What, Half & Half for Hornblower? Carter Hall for Lord Nelson & a Marsh Wheeling for old Churchill? Nah, that’d never happen, they’d of scuttled ships & torpedoed Admiralty House! Lol
Even in the darkest days of war, the officers wouldn’t of gone without.

I remember reading during the war, many were opposed to the continued government funding of the Arts Council. Churchill stood up to them & said of course we’ll continue funding the arts, if not, then what the devil are we fighting for?

short afternoon smoke of Rattray's Wallance flake rubbed out in an Ashton X Old Church prince.

HH Bold Kentucky in an Abe Herbaugh. I dig this pipe so much, going to slowly work on a set based on some of its features. Second pipe should be 1st quarter next year.

Good morning all. Steam rolled a bowl of Father Dempsey in a Savinelli 320 and now loading some JC DP Burley in a Radice Rind Pot.

Starting this windy morning off right with Steamcakes in the Musico Floodlight Special Liverpool.

Gentlemen it time for me to retire. I am finishing my last bowl of the day which is some Brown Twist, I am sure there is a crude joke in that name somewhere but I am too tired to look for it! My final pipe of the day is this late 1880s early 1890s example of the Parisian pipe makers art in the form of an amber stemmed 'cutty' that is a tad over six inches in length. I will see you all in the morning early for more pipe adventures if the 'big fella' upstairs says that it is to be so. Good night all!

Dropping some Brown Twist into a bowl before turning in just means you're regular—that's a great thing!

I so enjoyed last night's smoke of Angler's Dream from Pipes & Cigar that I loaded more in my Peterson System Spigot 317 rusticated for this evening's smoke.

Enjoyed some Cornell and Diehl Steamworks in a Moonshine Cannonball short fuse brown blast black stem at the Briarworks Lounge last night with some darts and friends.

I'm at my Son's here in Sarasota, he's another couple of miles inland from our house. My granddaughter kept asking me to spend the night so that was an invitation I could hardly refuse. Looks like the hurricane is going to pass us by here with minimal impact. I pray for the people up North though, looks like the storm surge could be devastating. Enjoying some Vauen No 14 in an Alden.

St Bruno Ready Rubbed in a clay. A bit windy to light my clay today! Just need to collect the rubbish from the cul de sac that got blown out of the bins; another job for the Clay King

@FoggyMorning I recommend you try some in a clay; I enjoyed it in mine. I think flake tobacco is very well suited to clays!
