Ahhh. At last. I very slowly and cautiously smoked a bowl of Early Morning Pipe in my Brigham rusticated. No coughing! Yes! That tasted really good! I'm baaack!

I've almost bought it several times, thank god someone else bought it so I can stop. The one thing that kept me from pulling the trigger was that random looking mammoth button to fill in a hole on the bamboo. Didn't seem to go with the pipe. It is quite beautiful otherwise.
Montecristo Classic Series Robusto with pour over Sumatran by the fire
You can get it at The Danish Pipe Shop.
They are no longer allowed to ship tobacco - only in Denmark.
It's a lovely tobacco, I always have a couple of tins in my cabinet.
4 year old Rattray's Jock's Mixture in a GBD lovat.
Yesterday I smoked some ST James Plug and followed it up with some Telegraph Hill. I came away thinking that Telegraph Hill is a better VaPer than St James (shock/horror), more flavour, deeper fruit plum/fig notes, sweeter too and TH seemed to be more balanced. I'm about to repeat the process but reverse order, so about to smoke TH followed by St James both of which will be smoked in the Virgin Castello #33
Brilliant Carol, enjoy that bowl
some tobacco I've bought in a german site:
S. & DUBLIN
The tobacco is sweet and it is spicy. Delicate and yet robust. A variety of Virginias with their own characters, ethereal orient and a subtle Latakia rounding combine Danish and English accents to create a multi-layered tobacco enjoyment!
Just thought of you guys and decided to post it here

That is correct. No Lakeland at all.
I disagree with you on Sutliff. Sutliff does make plenty of good blends, especially in the last few years as they've stepped up their game plan. I think every company has a range of good to bad. I wouldn't label any company as a producer of nothing but bad blends.
So, are you still alive? Does it taste like mummy dust or was it heavenly? Enquiring minds want to know…?
I’m yanking your chain with alliteration that’s all. “Shitty sutliff” flows off the tongue much like “crappy c&d”.
You know besides Gawith, EGR takes the biggest percentage of my stash
If you can’t taste the factory aroma, then something has definitely change. I need to get you some dark plug now
Did a second set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Abner the Eager walked a lap and a half with me, until Sam the Scamp showed up. Abner backed away, and Sam, who runs like a rabbit, did the last lap and a half with me. Abner followed us about fifteen feet behind. I gave both of them food before I started walking, so it wasn't a matter of waiting to eat. They just wanted to be with me.

I know you're yanking my chain, but some here wouldn't know that, so I figured I'd better say something about it.I’m yanking your chain with alliteration that’s all. “Shitty sutliff” flows off the tongue much like “crappy c&d”.

Haven't had Dark Plug in quite a while. I hope G&H didn't ruin it as they have weakened so many blends since the merger.
Various Va/1792 mix in the unbranded Dane.
This may become my truck pipe.

@jpberg isn’t more grumpy than usual so I guess the plug is still fine
I have some coming and I'm hoping the same Jim, so much tobacco is in a state of flux at the moment. Some for the better and others losing their mantle.
I'd certainly like to read your thoughts on it when you smoke it. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Still drying…but smells divine.
