Today I smoked Mac Baren Classic Roll Cake, HU Tobacco Indaba, Vauen No. 7 Crunchy Blend, Samuel Gawith Palace Gate and Lakeland Dark. Lakeland Dark in a MM Rob Roy and the rest in the Altinay.
Indaba and both the Samuel Gawith blends were new to me and I really enjoyed all of them. I get the urge to jar the Lakeland Dark and save it for Christmas. The first few years after I started pipe smoking I used to smoke Revor Plug and Mick McQuaid Plug around Christmas time but I can't get a hold of those anymore and haven't really found a replacement that feels right yet but this was the closest to giving me that feeling, although not really similar in flavor.
