Smoking GLP Telegraph Hill in a Savinelli Octavia on a cool evening on the deck.
Now smoking Sutliff Walnut Match in an early smooth Radice Tiger Eye G medium bend bulldog with a bamboo-style carving on the shank with a two dot black acrylic stem.
Smoking some 2017 Arango Balkan Supreme, in a Stanwell HCA
After work smoke is Sutliff 507-C in a Rossi first, then an MM cob.
What do you think of the 4th Generation Peaty KY?
Now smoking Savinelli Jupiter in a Castello Sea Rock KK 35
Now smoking Wilke No. 515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching Death Valley Rangers.
It was the same with the 4th Gen blend from Samuel Gawith, the sooner it was out of the fancy box the better, and the longer it was out of the box the better it got. It‘s a DFK forward blend for sure, but it’s balanced. The main negative is the price, I’m glad I bought a couple of boxes but at $28 each I won’t be buying more.
How do you like it? I picked up a tin over the summer and it is on my list of maybes to open up this spring/summer.
Smoking Jocks Mixture now with a bowl of Bow-Legged Bear loaded for later.
My favourite pipe baccy!
Will be getting some to smoke in my clays when re-enactment starts again!
That’s nice
Irish Rope in an 1898 Peterson Patent Bulldog with Bone Tenon and PLip (The first year of the PLip)
A Bjarne filled with vanilla cake roll, freezing cold but the old pipe is keeping me warm

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.
Now smoking C&D Three Friars in an Ashton Pebble Grain XX
Now smoking Watch City Simply VOriental in an undated straight smooth medium brown Wilshire 5 bulldog (Comoy’s second) made for John’s Pipe Shop in Los Angeles with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching a Hopalong Cassidy movie guest starring George Reeves. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Bidding you all a great night. I chose HH Latakia Flake and my Wally Frank. I'm glad I did.
A long and sketchy commute home in blizzard conditions and on mighty icy roads. Luckily I had some GH Brown Flake Unscented and my red sandblasted Eltang Basic to keep me company. Don’t mind the gigantic zit on my head, drilling its roots into my prefrontal cortex.
