I haven’t decided whether to smoke Balkan Sobranie or Special Latakia Flake tonight. I’m going to load it into this old cob: it was my first pipe. My sister bought it for me from Walgreens when I was 15 along with Borkum Riff cherry. I I snuck outside and smoked it in the dark hahaha. I still have that old cob so I’m using it tonight 24 years later.
Interesting. The first pipe tobacco I bought when I started pipe smoking again (I did at first as a result, as did so many others, in the 70's, when I was in university) because of the frat scenes in the completely gross, and tasteless movie masterpiece
"National Lampoon's Animal House"), was Borkum Riff Cherry Cavendish, which is one of my favourites. I regularly smoke it in a cob.too! Good on you!
The combination just works! And if you haven't seen that flick, do so. Yeah, we were really like that at UBC back then. Matter of fact, think I'll dig the movie out. I have a copy on VHS and an old video machine and am gonna watch it tonight, maybe along with Clint's "Highplains Drifter" which I have on Beta, lol!

Retro is wonderful!
