I also had my first bowl of Sutliff 707 a few nights ago and it was quite a rough smoke, really hot and not really great. I set it aside in the jar to revisit after a few months, and I’ll definitely try drying it for a lot longer than I did this last time.

I had a small pinch later that night after drying for a few hours. A little better ... less pine flavor and more acidic lemon; also less tongue and nasal bite. I suspect it needs some age to tone down topping note. I will also try mixing it eventually. It must be slow sipped not aggressively smoked if you know what I mean.

Both of those blends are fantastic on their own. Winchester is one of probably 4-5 blends that could satisfy me if it was all I had to smoke.

@LeafErikson I was smoking C&D Winchester in my clay pipe on my first visit to the Sealed Knot Battle of Nantwich in 2023; this year it was SG 1792 Flake in Ye Olde Clay!

It's finally lower than 93 degrees outside! I'm celebrating with some Squadron Leader in a meerschaum.

Early out and finished up some neglected yard work put off due to the excessive heat and humidity we were having and am now enjoying a warm not hot morning with very low humidity and a nice breeze in the shade. Pipe is a Martin Cermak.

[Sobrbiker]

Probably gonna be a slower pipe day at work today, working with a new guy on the crew that’s been a little lazy so the old guy’s gotta show him what’s expected
Had the Briarlee Illustrious full of Three Sails on the way in though, I’m thinking I need a couple half gallon mason jars and a couple more pounds of this stuff to languish for some time…

 

[Scottmi]

[JimInks]

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of pre-2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
