Enjoyed a couple of bowls on the front verandah with me mate, Doug.
Love listening to his stories of his 3 week trip to Serendip (sounds so much more romantic than Sri Lanka, IMO)
1st pipe was a Comoy Selected Straight Grain tall billiard
With a bowl of home blend - 70% Esoterica Tilbury, 70% C&D red Virginia, 30% SG blending Perique
Nice but not the plummy, figgy flavours I was looking for.
