Finishing up Davidoff Flake Medallions in this old Canadian meerschaum, dated 1892, unfortunately I dropped it and it broke, but it was masterfully repaired so I could smoke it by Rafa Martin and by the way, he made me an additional mouthpiece more comfortable than the original amber for me, I keep it in a box and never use it. Unfortunately the mark of the breakage, near the bowl could not be disguised anymore.

Now, in a few minutes, dinner

Now smoking Sept. 2015 Savinelli Doblone d’Oro in a smooth straight early ‘60s Lane era “William Conrad” Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink on this beautiful day.

It's good! The components and topping are very similar to Redburn, also made by C&D, but it doesn't taste like I remember Redburn tasting (though I like both). Whether the differences are due to tweaked leaf ratios or maybe the Jupiter being a flake and Redburn a crumble cake, I don't know. If you haven't had Redburn, I'd compare it to other C&D burleys like Haunted Bookshop but the (mild) topping gives it a bit more sweetness. Medium-Strong like HB in nicotine strength as well, I'd say.
Thats great news. I like both Redburn and HB, so I'm going to put it in the springtime queue.

Smoking some SWR Aromatic. Its a little nippy if pushed. Interesting flavor. Will reserve judgement on this one until I get further into the pouch.
