Watching the snow fall and having an afternoon smoke of St. Bruno ready rubbed in a cob that I’ve dedicated to this blend. After 20 years of pipe smoking I finally tasted it for the first time last week and it’s already part of my daily rotation. Could somebody tell me how the flake matches up against the ready rubbed?

Just finished smoking this bowl from a first production tin (2013) of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Finally got a good night's sleep, and with any luck, the snow and ice won't cause a power shortage.

Kramer’s Blend for Cary Grant in my newest pipe — this Scott’s. I’m trusting the very light aromatics on top of their English blend won’t ghost it. If it does — it’ll be fine.
With the Sunday NY Times and a cup of Irish breakfast tea.
Enjoy the day all — I’ll assume a lot of football being watched. 70E83FDD-2540-429E-8D75-726830A5DE20.jpeg

IMO and I’m nae expert, the flake isn’t quite as rich as the RR.

I bought some blending components to learn more about each of their characteristics. This morning is some C&D Red Virginia Ribbon cut.

I just did the same thing. Haven't opened any up yet, but got some Virginias, burleys, DFK, and perique
