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.

Gravity feed it into your pipe and don't tamp down. If you do tamp, do it very, very lightly.

"Shades of Blue"?

No "Live " but I do have all the "Lansdowne" sessions.

On vinyl? Those pressings fetch a pretty penny on the collector's market.

the vintage UK Columbia`s are really expensive.
But the "Jazzman" UK-reissues 23 GBP and that`s a fair price for very good pressings.

About a quarter of a bowl left of straight dark air cured burley in an undated (1970s?) unbranded straight paneled sandblasted Tanshell Dunhill second with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Did another set of walking reps, and I'm gonna relax in my chair for a while. More ice water and bergs are with me.

Read this right before my last bowl, worked like a charm! I appreciate it. I think i've developed a learned helplessness because jiminks is around to help.
