Brewing again today, and smoking another of my new estate lot auction acquisitions. SV Black Cavendish in a Ropp Cherrywood. This pipe has a large chamber and smokes surprisingly well. I really like it.
Now smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem.This smoke is for @dino ! 
Ice water and bergs is my drink until later this evening.

I am right now.Well, now I will be
Gotta add a tin of this to my next tobacco order. Also plan on adding some Sutliff Match Victoria, which Jiminks made a glowing recommendation for in the thread commemorating his 3000th tobacco review. Being that both are VaPers from Sutliff -- one tinned and one bulk -- would be curious to get a quick top-line comparison of any noticeable similarities or differences between the two???Now smoking year 2014 Sutliff 1849 in a medium bend smooth dark brown 1968 Barling 5631 London England TVF billiard silver spigot with a tapered black vulcanite stem.This smoke is for @dino !

Ye Olde Signe in a Castello shape 33.
Sutliff Red Virginia in the Boswell billiard. Straight, no chaser.
Mcclelland MV27 in the MarTelo panel with banana bakelite.
JimInks, looks like we stirred a few folk to try 1849!
Now smoking Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem.
We sure did although you started it. Well deserved, too.
Had a fantastic lunch of Creamed Cauliflower soup and a big Caesar salad with homemade dressing. I feel like I'm at a seaside resort in Carmel or something. 
Got a small pile of rubbed-out 1st release C&D Folklore (sample) briefly drying, to go in my Stefano Santambrogio bent Rhodesian. Earl grey tea to drink. This will be my first smoke of the month. Bird report: Northern flicker, California scrub-jay, Dark-eyed junco, California towhee, Steller's jay, White-crowned sparrow, Oak titmouse, Mountain chickadee, California quail, California thrasher, Spotted towhee, and House finch. Looking forward to golfing tomorrow for the first time in about three years. So if any of you fine folks are going to be outdoors tomorrow afternoon, regardless of physical distance from Southern California...please wear a helmet and protective clothing, preferably Kevlar. Come on, it's a tax writeoff!
Happy smokes!

A mix of finely cut Brown No. 4, some remnants of Old Gowrie, and a small amount of GH Black Cherry.
Victoria is a little sweeter and plummier with a slightly more complex mix of Virginias. 1849 has more perique (25% of the blend) so it's spicier and a little fuller in taste.
Elizabethan Mixture in a Savinelli Punto oro gold.
