Have not tried those, but THANKS, will add them to the "wishlist" for one day.I've only actually had two so far: GLP Key Largo and Lane Andullo. I absolutely love Key Largo, and I like Andullo (although my 2nd/final tin is almost finished and I don't believe it's made anymore). I also have enjoyed adding a pinch or two of cut-up actual cigar to other blends, with decent success. Fun to experiment!
Here are a few others that I'm interested in trying:
I wish I smoked more bowls per day (typically only 1 max), so I could actually try more of these blends!
- HU Nyala
- CD Habana Daydream
- CD Purple Cow
- Low Country Guendalose
If you like Key Largo, you may enjoy LJ Peretti's Cuban Mixture as well, then. I add cigar leaf to home blends as well. I save all the packing tobacco they give out at Ybor City when in Tampa and use that and Robert Mc Connell's Pure Cuba. I even used to save the cap clippings from my Cuban cigars back in the day for the same purpose. Waste not, want not.
Moving on to a motivating bowl of Sansepolcro in the new Ali cherrywood and then taking care of some much needed business. But first...this and the rest of the morning's coffee. Priorities...
Some Boswell’s Countryside in a Peterson Watson.
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Evening Flake in a large Savinelli 606EX Tundra. Coffee to pair.
Dark Sails in the resurrected Ropp J07 workhorse.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Watching the Braves-Marlins game. Harry the Hairy ate earlier, and went out. A few minutes later, he decided he wanted a little attention, and is currently snoozin' near my feet. Sleepy Suzy gave him "the stare" for a minute, and then decided to snooze by my side. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

About to light up my Tekin Dragon meer with some Chocolate Manhood tobacco.
D&R London Dock for the thirtieth smoke. Some fine speckling appearing all over.

Peterson Old Dublin in a pre-Lane Charatan Special brandy.
I had English/Balkans in mind for it...
70% Viginia Slices/30% MB Modern Virginia in a G. Penzo.
Settled in for a long smoke with the ‘84 Mark Twain. Joe’s Early Morning Pipe.
Bourbon in a chilled glass on a warm day. First time smoking LJ Peretti B-94 and I instantly realized that this is the blend that has ghosted the Dunhill I bought from them last year. Going to have to limit this to just a couple of pipes and maybe bring out the cobs to keep this one from causing too much trouble with the others.
It's Sunday, so it's Cowboy Coffee in the IMP bent egg with black french roast.
Heading to my parents' place soon for a celebration of their 55th anniversary.

Passing the last third of this bowl of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem.
@MortarMessiah I say go for it! Skim boarding is a heck of a lot of fun 
. As far as Peterson is concerned, I only have 3 but they are great smokers. I don't have any experience with the p-lip (yet) but I have one of their system pipes and I love it, even if I haven't been smoking it much lately, haha.
On the menu for today's afternoon smoke is a bowl of C&D Exclusive loaded in my Peterson Short Billiard pipe with some sweet tea on the side.
Hope you all have a relaxing Sunday!

Now smoking year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Giants-Nats game. Verlander isn't Verlander any more.
