Nice. I've been thinking off getting hold of Ron for another commission. He does good work.

I’m with you on that, you just can’t help but relax even just by opening the tin and breathing in the heady aroma.
I’m about to head into your Burley arena, I’ve only really had as part of different blends so far. I’m getting some samples from a member next week to guide me a bit.

Welcome to the Burley side lol. Let me know how you find it.

I was more or less taking inventory of my "cellar" yesterday and at the bottom of one chest, I found a tin of Father the Flame (C&D Straight Up English) which was produced in April 2017. It was slightly bulging at both the bottom and the top. Put it this way, the bulge at the bottom was enough where the tin wouldn't sit flat on my desk. I popped the seal on it this morning and it smells downright edible. I loaded it into my Sailing Ship meerschaum instead.

Good Sunday morning. Kendall Plug, hacked apart, sandwiched between two layers of Match Victorian-Elizabethan because the Rossi Lucca Billiard is a Giant. On the porch with black coffee as usual.

Wow... stem, band, bowl contrasts are just perfection.

What do you think of the Stirling Flake? Notice much (or any) difference from the Irish Flake?

Thanks - I admit to just admiring it for a couple of weeks before I smoked something in it.

This morning it's The Amphora Burley in an MM Nekkid Country Gentleman.

 

[SpookedPiper]

Again with this Mccranies Red Ribbon, just unbelievable...and it burns to absolute nothingness! Zero emissions on this blend, which will definitely make some groups happy, including myself!!

In an Upshall Tilshead with lovely grain.
Relaxing smokes!!

I find them similar, but i do think they're different, even if just slightly. I've only smoked a few bowls so far so i can't really put my finger on it, but it's there. I'm pretty well stocked up on Irish Flake so when i finish the two tins of Stirling i have i don't think I'll be hunting it down again. How do you like it?

Ron does great work. This one is an amazing piece, as is the Lovat I commissioned from him last year. Great guy too.
