Smoking D&R Picayune in a MM cob. Black coffee is my drink as I wait for the rest of the house to wake up.
Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz in a Sasieni Perfect Ten Canadian
Glad to see you’re back.
Smoking some McClelland 40th Anniversary in a IMP billiard. First smoke for this pipe.
I'm not going to smoke a 19th cent. churchwarden - as I just know I'd break it sooner or later and that would pain me - but I've smoked later examples from the 1950s out of the Southorn & Co. works before they closed down in 1960. In truth they look better 'discoloured'.

2013 Mac Baren Navy Flake in a Bruce Weaver blasted bent apple.
You got Halfdans attention right quick !
Sir Walter Raleigh in a Dr Graybo Savoy
Quarter way through first ever bowl of Bayou Morning Flake in my Sav. Miele 316 KS. Damn this stuff is tasty! Elizabethan didn't hook me, but this did not three puffs in. Tried it because Bayou Night is my all day blend... well, Bayou Night may have to let its Morning counterpart drive for a bit! Nice and bready, not as much grass as Elizabethan, nice interplay of black pepper and stone fruit going on at the front of my tongue.
Good day folks, Skiff mix in a Blakemar.
Starting the day with WCC R&B in a MM maple.
Wilke Surbrug Crystal Palace in a 2021 Peterson St. Patrick’s Day XL11.
I’ve been eying up Crystal Palace. What’s your thoughts?
Taking a break from the English Blends with my own blend by Dengler of Saint Charles in a Peterson Sea Mist. I see that train a smok’in.
Afternoon everyone, my recent order just arrived, I got plenty of 1792 Flake and I thought I’d try McLintock Black C, cherry and coffee apparently but I’m not getting it. I think my aromatic days are passing, nothing ever tastes like it says it does. Perhaps 40 years of hand rolled Samson killed my taste buds even though I quit a year ago (they stopped selling Samson in the UK and nothing else was good enough). I guess that just means more lovely Lat blends and VaPers to smoke. Huzzah!
If you’re talking about the area of London it’s a dump, if you’re talking about the football team they suck, if you’re talking about the tobacco I have no idea because they probably don’t sell it in the UK. I know that’s not very helpful, sorry.
Starting off my day with a bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Well, it's a Latakia blend, so if that's your bag I'd go for it... There's a lot more to this than just your average "English Blend" though. The inclusion of cavendish smooths it out and provides some bottom. The Latakia, while noticeable, is not overpowering. Throw into the mix Virginia, Perique and Burley and there's a potpourri of flavors, all working very well together. Sweet, sour, smoky, grassy, nutty and plum flavors - the profile vacillates as the bowl progresses; in a good way.
My recommendation is Double Down on this offering...
