Three Year Matured Virginia in a Kaywoodie flame grain zulu.
... It's Rimboche AP again, in the C. B. Perkins gold band prince, along with a huge moka pot coffee. I've smoked so much of this lately I didn't want to bore you all having to read the R word over and over and over...
Needless to say, I'm in love. But I also feel bad. I know at least one person out there who hasn't tried this is going to try this from reading these posts, and my "hyping" of the blend will set expectations unrealistically highly, and they'll just be like.. "Wait... what? This is just a decent VaPer... what's the big deal?" So... I just want to pre-emptively say to this hypothetical stranger-- please don't let my insanity poison your expectations.
Good lord it's so good though...

Getting in a Guildhall filled with Edward G Robinson before a storm hits.
2012 Fribourg & Treyer Cut Virginia Plug in a Rad Davis Billiard.
Having my first bowl of HU Director's Cut in a Sav 606. I still have a touch of a cold so everything tastes a bit flat.....but I couldn't wait any longer to open the tin!
Firing up an older sample of 2 Daughters Rimboche A.B. in a Ropp Etudiant J04.
half&half in pete st. paddy's day pipe 2020 406. this tiny pipe smokes like a champ. loaded using "put pipe in the pouch and shove in the tobacco with index finger" method. lasted good 45 min. only downside was too humid out side. needed few pipe cleaners to dry the stem.
Finally back home and smoking HU Dark Moor in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. The rain and wind were fierce at times.
C&D Bayou Night in an Amphora Extra Sandblasted Billiard.
Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired in a filtered cob. I’ve quickly become a fan of filters (thanks @BROBS).
2012 John Aylesbury Lyxury Flake in a Brian Ruthenberg Billiard.
Now smoking HU Pfeifenecke in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Working on reviews.
Just finished a bowl of 2017 Dunhill Flake in a Rubio.
Briarworks Back Down South in a Ropp Etudiant J04.
On a recent order from SP I threw in some GL Pease Spark Plug since it was 15% off, and to push the transaction over the free shipping threshold, and see what all the buzz was about.
It’s similar to Jack Knife plug in its consistency and appearance. I cut of a small bit and shredded it, and left it to dry for a couple hours while I went out and did some grocery shopping.
Came back and loaded it into a Penn Valley Dutch Gouda clay.
Very well balanced and flavorful smoke. Has some similarities to other blends. The one thing that stood out was the flavor the Orientals added.
