Usually, at Pipe Club meetings, the members go with tobaccos to offer. An excellent way to taste tobaccos you didn't know about, you knew but have never tried, including some that are not available anymore or -in special occasions- from a very old tin etc. I have tasted quite many samples in this way and also it's how I found the tobacco I probably love the most (which is not easy to find in Europe, unfortunately).
Anyway, out our last Club meeting I asked from my fellow smoker Akis to have a sample from one of his tins. He responded "Yes, of course" and then "have the tin!". That's the third time this good-hearted giant offers me a nearly full tin. So, I am smoking now, to his good health, the DTM-St Bernard which goes perfectly with the coffee. In a Canasta pipe, from the economic series of Ardor, I have 2 of them, very decent pipes I say.
Have a nice Tuesday good people!

Morning everyone, I started again with Le Petit Robin which I’m still figuring out, it’s got quite a cigarette taste to it and I’m wondering if the fine cut is for that purpose even though it says it’s a pipe tobacco, I rolled some in a paper (I’ve not smoked ryo’s for 3 1/2 years) and it certainly seems that way. A little Kentucky would kick this up a notch imo, I might use it for blending.
Anyhoo I’m back on the pipe with Mac B Symphony in a Heritage Antique, an excellent blend with coffee. image.jpg

Ok you got me curious about this tobacco, some Belgian Burley? I also love shag cut just for ease of packing and lighting.

Nice shape! I might like this one a little better than my Bruce Weaver!
