2023 Folklore in a Peterson Classic Deluxe 606 PSB
You drew that grain on with a sharpie, cheater!
Last night, whilst recovering from the, ahem! "experience" of driving in a heavily built up industrial complex in Korea, I settled down with a bowl of Mac Baran Navy Flakes, folded & stuffed half the flake and rubbed out the other half, in a Les Wood Ferndown, *** (note, last I posted about this pipe, I incorrectly stated that it was a ****) paneled Dublin.
Switched over to a 1961 Dunhill 120 F/T, with Peterson DNR, three coins, 2 folded & stuffed, the other rubbed out.
Finished off with a bowl in Tom Eltang Devil Anse, with Sutliff 1849.
Refreshment, was of course the obligatory Apple Fox cider and a Woodford Reserve chaser.
Company for the evening's smoke, was with my boy Norms, who wouldn't sit on the chair, until I made him a nest!

Smoking some Lane's Black Raspberry in a Flacon.
Can't find any pics of the pipe! I'll have to take some.

Did a second set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 MacBaren Three Nuns in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Lumberman with a long shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem, unbranded.
PS Cube Cut in the Grabow Omega. As much as I like Sutliff ERR Match, I think this is more to my tastes, as far as cube cut burley-based blends go. The topping is a little less obvious, and I like the Virginia notes. Will definitely be cellaring more of this!
Plug or Ribbon?
I have a tin from 2018 and 2022, neither needs dry time, they are perfect straight from the tin.
Even if you rubbed out some from the plug, it’s not going to take 48 hrs.
Somethings not right... hmm
Okay JimInks. I have never smoked Edward G. Robinson’s Blend. Here goes! Smoking it in this Stanwell Buffalo. Iced coffee accompanying.
Now Smoking: I kept mixing-up more JAN1946 PLM Blend and smoking it thru the night, rather than simply file a 10 gram sample away. Eventually, I decided to blend-up and ounce and a half. I broke out my of most favorite pipe, my Brigham Heritage '09, straight and smooth apple with Acrylic bit, and decided to sit and play on Wifey's art computer and make-up a pouch before filing the rest of the tabak away - and see if it will call me back for more tomorrow... or not.

Considering I smoked his recipe all night, the least I could would be to give his blend a dedicated pouch to go with it,- Sherm Natman
People are going to think Nat Sherman is back in business! LOL
smoking some Golden Extra with several years on it. it's really good in this diplomat apple
Rattray’s Old Gowrie from May 2020 in an Altinay translucent meerschaum billiard
I’ve looked at the Northern Briars site in the past, but seeing your pipe, which is quite nice, I had to look again.
I didn’t realize he lives and makes his pipes on a Narrowboat.
It reminded me of the show Britain by Narrowboat, which is quite nice for anyone into boats, to get an idea of what the Narrowboat life is like.

Now smoking year 2019 HU Directors Cut in a straight black sandblast 2 star Ferndown Bark Prince with a cumberland stem. Checking to see if the dark fired has mellowed.
