Great idea. I've found my smoking pleasure increased tremedously when I began to dedicate specific pipes to specific tobaccos, or in some cases, genres of tobacco. Hint - don't smoke aros in pipes dedicated to lat.

This morning was Mac Baren Mixture in a Peterson Dracula 80s. Need to go clean up after dinner and figure out what I'm smoking now.

Crap we make up for excuses to smoke/buy more baccy!
If you don’t have one, you’ve for time to prepare for Meer March Madness
I figured out what I'm smoking next. It is Sutliff 759 match in a Rossi Mezzanotte. I've really been enjoying this blend the last few days.
I sure hope so, and I'll be disappointed if it isn't! Before I went on the lightweight aromatic kick this past week I was smoking quite a bit of 1792 Flake, Kendal Dark, Brown Bogie, and War Horse so my usual stance on nicotine in pipe tobacco is, "What's the strongest stuff ya got? Okay, I'll take that then."
Strangely I've never gotten around to trying Five Brothers though, and some plain unadulterated Burley has been sounding good so I'm gonna give it a try!
Haha, 1792 will do that to you and just proves the point that its not the best blend if it makes you feel like shite
I will admit to feeling rather ill the first few times I smoked 1792 just from the high nicotine content, before I was used to dark strong blends, but you build a tolerance to it pretty quickly and before long you go from feeling like you're gonna toss your cookies and crap your pants to just feeling really relaxed and satisfied. There is a definite and rather gastrointestinally challenging learning curve though!
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, haddock and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm half way through this bowl of year 2020 Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem.
First try of KBV Holmes Slice (sample) in a MM Dagner Poker. Left a little cigarette-y afternote that I didn't much care for, but at least it smoked real easy. 7/10

Mac Baren Scottish Blend for the drive home from work today. Glad they're keeping this one around. Got a sample of Smokers Pride Rum Cured and trying it for the first time...not bad.
