Last night, C&D Tuggle Hall, a burley-based English blend, in a Joh's semi-rusticated Lovat (straight of course). Nice compact briar pipe with a deep chamber, plenty of chamber and lightweight. We made a necessary run to a nearby city yesterday and picked up Mexican take-out from Tiendia Carniceria, enchiladas de mole. our favorite.
We always get the cane sugar Coca Cola from them to bring home.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2014 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. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

Part way through this bowl of Dan Tobacco The Mallard Flake Plus Perique in a 2021 medium bend black sandblasted Peterson Newgrange 80S bent bulldog silver spigot with a tapered reddish brown with black stripes acrylic stem. It's still raining. Hope it stops long enough for me to get some walking in today.

Jim,
Are you working on a review for the “unreleased Sutliff BVF”?
No. It's not going to be released. Like the unreleased Black Virginia (which is better, actually), I believe it was an early prototype for another blend and they apparently felt this didn't live up to the standard for what they were looking for. They had a bag of it laying around, and instead of throwing it out, they gave it to me. I like it, but I can see why they rejected it: uncomplicated and fairly mild. I find it is a comfortable Va., and am happy to smoke it.
