What do you think about the 507? I tried it today for the first time and I did not like near as much as Newminster. I am going to put away and let it age.
You sir have an excellent collection of historic pipes !

I received an electric throw for Christmas It is a game changer ??
That is what I was thinking. Being new to all this aged tobacco is not an option. I really like the way the Newminister 400 and Orlick taste fresh compared to the 507c . I guess my cellar has begun because I really did not enjoy this blend fresh much.
Lovely pipe love the green band. How old is the 400? ?
I want an Osage Orange Bodark pipe!!Wilke Lizzy Blood Red Virginia in a Don Warren Osage Orange Stack.
Thank you. Bought that from Martin at the 2018 Chicago Pipe Show. I think the green is some kind of dinosaur fossil. Newminster canned in 2/18.
2012 HH Old Dark Fired in a Castello Old AntiquarI Hawkbill.
Sutliff Butter Pecan in a Chacom Reybert Diplomat. I've had this jarred for maybe 9 months. It's still the wettest tobacco I've ever tried to smoke. I left it uncovered once for several days with no change. I had a one ounce sample last spring that was delicious, so I bought several ounces to jar, and the big order was just propylene glycol city. It's still tasty though. Has this sort of soda flavor to it. Like a hint of coke syrup.

Old Gowrie in Peterson system standard. Learning the p-lip. Doesn’t cause tongue bite…!!!! But, can cause roof of mouth burn. ?
thanks @LotusEater - good smoker…but, the p-lip… doesn’t wear rubbers well…and - I won’t seek out that stem style - but, love the pipe as it fits the clincher’s profile. I imagine I should be able to find a stem that will work or have one made that fits and isn’t p-lip. Might be small for some - but, I have a nice selection of “smaller”’ pipes i truly enjoy. This is in the club for sure. Maybe someday I’ll take a snapshot of my smaller bowled pipes. Some blends just rock in a smaller pipe. ?

Fixing to burn some more Blend #1 and staying with a BBB...Silver Grain. Also a very good comfortable smoker. Sprite. Very nice stuff!
Something I am curious about....in tobacco reviews of Ted's Pipe Shoppe and Blend #1 it is called out as English. One of the reviewers mentions that the Virginia component is more of a condiment. I have read that less Virginia is Balkan more Virginia English in these sort of VA Oriental Lat blends. Any thoughts?

Smoking some C&D Bayou Night in a Savenelli 673. Bit of tropical thunder and rain this evening. Listening to a podcast about Vudoo Gun’s .22 platform.
Just got caught in the rain mowing the lawns. Ended up being one of those special smoking moments. Flipped my Dunhill upside down and enjoyed the rest of the bowl. 50:50 rum twist and semois. Seriously good combo
