Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2003 black sandblasted medium bend Karl Erik Ekstravagant scoop with a horn ferrule and black acrylic stem. Been enjoying quiet reading time with Sleepy Suzy by my side. Abner the Eager braved the rain to come here for food and attention. I may end the day with this smoke.

What do you think about that blend? I really like Balkans, especially Magnum Opus. I missed out on getting more Black House. Would you say it'd be worthwhile picking up some while still available? Is it decent quality orientals?

I like the blend. Latakia is not overpowering and the Orientals are noticeable and play a continuous role throughout the smoke. There is some noticeable sweetness to the blend with the Virginias having a constant presence as well.

I really enjoyed Black House and had tried the 759 match previously and thought it to be rather good. I grabbed a pound bag before it disappears.
