Now smoking Smoker’s Pride Mellow Taste in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.49) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega military mount with a nickel band and a black vulcanite stem with a p-lip. Going to do some walking now.

Finally home after a 2-week trip, and first bowl up for the day is Hearth & Home's Black House, in an Eric Paulson bulldog. A pleasantly cool, overcast day here in the PNW, and a very nice contrast from Florida, where it was in the mid- to upper 90s and very humid every day I was there. Whenever I go back to the old stomping grounds, I'm reminded why I don't live in Florida!

Blackhouse from November 2011 in a Sasieni Superb Six. 1-2 bowls remaining after this from an 8 ounce tin which I opened in August 2019 and have smoked continuously since then, except for a small gap in December/January.
Tabac-Manil Semois medium cut in a Britannia smooth bent Dublin with a double bore stem that draws and cleans well, nice English briar, about 12 years old.
Smoking Prince Albert in a Medico Apollo brylon. Having a cup of black coffee.
Erinmore Flake in an Ascorti Sabbia Di Oro blast egg/billiard. Great stuff. Hard to tell from the pic the there is a slight bend (more of a gentle curve) in the stem and shank 
TAK - Puh Wap Wap in an acorn MM cob.
While listen to Jackie McLean - 4 5 and 6

Haven’t smoked Revor but I found the same thing with Bracken Flake. Maybe just a hint...
2012 Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake in a Rad Davis Billiard.
I'm trying out some Match Edgeworth Ready Rubbed in a Carolina Gentleman cob. This evening I'm going to dig out my tub of the new Lane's Ready Rubbed to try them against each other.
This is good--The burley isn't overpowered by the topping, which is mainly a molasses taste. There was some cocoa in the tin/bag note, but I'm not picking that up in the smoke. I'm struggling to keep the cube-ish cut lit. If I dried it more or rubbed it out it would probably work better, but that sort of frustrates the purpose of the original. I definitely like it, but I'll have to work on these mechanical issues more.
