Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan 2024 in a Dunhill Shell Cherrywood Poker from 1976

Have you tried the original version of Palmetto? If so how do they match up in your opinion?

Just finished Up a bowl of Haunted Bookshop in a Peterson SH Baskerville rusticated with PLip stem, what a great hanger of a smoker

I was looking for something different tonight, so pulled out some PS Luxury Twist Flake. The topping on this tobacco made me immediately think of the Trypis Zulu that was shipped to me wrapped in a towel washed in some nasty smelling laundry detergent. Despite sanitizing the hell out of it, it’s still ghosted. May need to go in the oven. Before I go there, I figured I’d try smoking a few bowls of this to see if I can replace the laundry ghost, with the ghost of what for me is as close to an aromatic as I have in my collection. Should be fun!

Redo tonight. Still get the odd laundry detergent essence coming through but it’s rare. Got lazy and tried the fold’n’stuff meathod with these square PS LTFs. Always rub out! Can’t get a good smoke this way.

Meeting of the Hartford Reading Society tonight. Enjoyed some of Pistachio Ice Cream as my first smoke in this French Oom Paul I restored. Also enjoyed Stokkebye Whiskey #2 in the rusticated Meer Bulldog and some Navy Flake in the Peterson Arklow 150.

Smoked a cigar after dinner and now back to a pipe. GLP Union Square in a Peterson Dracula 80s.

HU Old Fredder thats been jarred for 2 years. Not aged but not fresh either. Honestly, not amazing tonight in my great “Made In Italy” basket pipe I bought from Rich’s in PDX.

Been digging into the new stash. All the HU offerings have been worth every penny. Everything i've tried so far is at least solid/good and at best excellent. That's rare when trying a bunch of new things from one company, in my experience.

But for now i'm working on coloring the new Dulger meer. Smoke #45 in this one. Salty Dogs. Fresh off the plane and onto the cutting board where my clever made short work of some flakes.

ES 4th Gen Evening Flake in a Kaywoodie 5153. Need to get a better picture of this one.

This reminded me that I jarred a tin of MB HH Pure Virginia a little over two years ago. I tried a bowl when I jarred it, and it was OK considering my poor smoking technique at the time, being a newbie. I noticed that you smoke this blend frequently. Does it get smoother with age? Should I try it again now or give it more time? My senses of taste and smell are pretty dull so not sure if I would notice a difference, ha, ha.

BTW...I love that pipe.

It improves significantly with age. You'd taste it now but 3 to 5 years is better.

Mixed reply here… sorry in advance for that.
Living in Portugal is a huge handicap if you are a pipe smoker. I’ve finally discovered a place in Spain(Galicia) which will allow me to enjoy new blends and some well established ones. I know that for some of you this might be something you just find around the corner and not something new!
