H&H Virginia Memory, a no nonsense Virginia as the name implies. Very pleasant smoke without getting punched in face all the time by all the heavy English I bought (not knowing what I was doing on my first purchase). I just might have to get more Virginia forward blends.

Any suggestions as to what to try. Preferably bulk so I can get more that way.;)
I think if you like Virginias, and you like bulk, you should give the Peter Stokkebye luxury flakes a try. I like the Luxury Bullseye flake the best myself, but try a few ounces of each!
Also, I've just started a bowl of STG Balkan Sasieni, in my WO Larsen half rusticated bulldog.

Enjoyed a tasty egg sandwich, and am a quarter of the way trough this bowl of Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching an episode of Cannon starring Mssr. Conrad.

Try Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake. You may be surprised at the, uhhhhh... similarity. ;)

Watch City Flake #558 and Old Dominion are both outstanding.

Now smoking Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd in a Peterson System Standard 307.

What a night! My wife went to a local hotel/casino with her mother and sisters tonight for a girls night (and because our main sewer line had to be repaired this weekend.)
The contractor finished 88 feet of trench, and finished replacing and getting the line connected...much faster progress than anticipated. The wife just called to let me know she just won $4890.00 on the slots!

Now celebrating with a bowl of SWRA in my old blue spade Grabow grand duke, and enjoying a glass of traditional grog (1:4 rum and water with a slice of lime.)

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2015 Sir Walter Raleigh in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
