Now smoking year 2016 D&R Two Timer Gold in a 1982 smooth straight Sasieni Ivory 105 Apple with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was my first Sasieni. Bought it at my local Tinderbox for $9.95.

It was bothering me that LJP Blend 111 tasted so musty, didn't seem like it should taste like that, had Blend DD the other day (which I had before) and it also tasted musty. So then I knew the issue was the pipe needed a proper cleaning.
Now that it's clean, puffing on Blend 111 again and it no longer tastes musty, tastes more like how I anticipated it would taste. Very minute floral sweetness underneath a Kentucky-esque type of smokiness. I wonder if it has kentucky in it, or maybe a touch of lat?
It's still my least-favorite LJP burley so far, but I like it a lot better than before. Also, now I know how to describe Haunted Bookshop and why I don't like it... tastes like smoking burley in a well dirty pipe.

That's an interesting knife as well. May I ask what brand it is?
Scottish Flake in a Rainer Barbi dublin.
It's a custom made by French knife maker Guy Poggetti.
This one is his "Kluane" model.
@condorlover1 OK, I can take a hint. I haven't used mine since it came back from Blakemar Briars with a new mouthpiece. Hang on...
Had a little snow overnight. Got the day off work minus a couple hours I had to report for snow removal, but at least it’s more overtime! Now relaxing on the deck with C&D Maestro Pucinni in an Estella 115 EX with Colombian coffee to pair.
Very nice!

My brother, (who is now in his 60s,) was chased, and "goosed", by a huge canada goose when he was about 4. To this day, he hates those things.

Preferably roasted, with a gooseberry sauce, honey glazed roast parsnips and a nice crisp dry white wine.
Sounds delicious!
Morning all, smoking GH Black Twist in a Pete 01 System this morning with coffee. Played lawn bowls last night under lights and I may have had one to many whiskeys after our 2 matches.
A second from John Dengler with his specialized blend he created for me back in the 80s - Telescopes.
