Coming to the last quarter of a bowl of Riverboat Gambler in a Vauen Empire 069 dedicated to the blend so far.
I didn’t know Orientals could ghost a briar until someone asked Jim in his latest thread on the review of Sun Bear. Maybe I’ll have to start having some dedicated pipes for blends with Orientals. I usually divide my briars into Va and VaPer, Burley Based, Latakia and Aromatics.
I haven’t smoked this pipe in a while and I forgot how easy and comfortable it is to clench with its short saddle stem.
