WOW, Thanks for sharing!
I never knew about this place before, look at all those bloody pipes hanging everywhere, holy crap! LOL
Can you still smoke in there?
Wow. How coincidental?
I’m breaking in a new to me rusticated 317 with some KBV Yoshimi’s Sweet Muffin!
Today was a couple bowls each of 507C Va Slices and Bokrum Riff Bourbon with a little Lane Black Raspberry added in the Lee saddle stem pear.
YES! It IS AMAZING! Just finished a well packed small bowl (Peterson's smallest) ..got 45 minutes.. and I just had to go inside and report to my wife that this was... something else in the best way! I'm not a big aro guy, but a good aromatic well packed can be a delight (amirite @Beowoulf ?). I like Arrowhead, I quite enjoy Sillem's Blue, Exotic Orange (my wife calls it Agent Orange) is ok, Autumn Evening, as deservedly popular as it is, does nothing for me, and KBVs Fireside Chat also does nothing to excite... But this Sakura is indeed amazing. Sublime! "Cherry Blossom" must be right as it is not overbearing, it is just smooth, cool, virginia-y plus delicious. Fantastic! I was thinking it was like Hamborger Veermaster with it's smooth honey sweetness, and a graceful gentle bit more (cherry) richness to it. I am grateful that tobaccos like this exist, that people are making them, and they can be obtained! Thank you for asking!!
Continuing my journey with Pirate Cake in a Stanwell 242 Featherweight. So far, really enjoying this blend. What an adventure this hobby provides. Cheers! 
Just finished some Port Charlotte Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt Islay Scotch, and am going to follow it up with a Scottish blend, Drucquer & Sons, Ltd. Blairgowrie (jarred in 2019) in a Savinelli Capri Root Briar 514 Bulldog.

I think Ken is a master when it comes to aros.
Almost half way through this bowl of Wilke Hearth of Galway in an undated smooth straight medium brown made in France Saillard Lord Clerit lumberman with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Awesome post, thank you for posting all this great info!
sorry to hear about the check - get well soon! what do you think has changed for you re HB? I find it much more enjoyable with Hamborger Veermaster mixed in.
I’m trying Rattray’s Bagpiper’s Dream in my 1952 Dunhill Bruyere Group 2 (33).
wow! who is this gigi chick and is that a briar blast? just fantastic!
Oliver, Thank you for your suggestion. Two months ago, I bought 15 popular C&D tobacco to learn about this famous company, each at 2-4oz. Since then, I have smoked a bowl of C&D tobacco every day to cultivate my acceptance of burley. HAIYAAAAA! They put burley into almost all blends！
Guess what I chose in the end? Pirate Kake, Byzantine, Super Balkans and Poplar Camp.
I should change my name to Latakia isaac or more German style, isaac von latakia.
Half way through this bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite.

TAK in Kiel rejected my IP address, unable to register. I have tried using many regions, from New York to Seattle, from Japan to France. Looks like it's time to switch a new VPN. Fortunately, a German dealer can easily provide me with most of the tobacco produced in the EU. I have stored some English/Balkan like Night Cap,965, Artisan, Balkan supreme, Father Dempsey, B.B.B.B, Bengal slice. Now, the super Balkan and Byzantium will also on the list.
