507c Virginia Slices in the pre-Cadogan Comoy's Sandblast medium billiard, and water
Hamborger Veermaster in a Rad Davis
Breaking in this new beauty from Brigham with some classical C&D Autumn Evening
Capstan Blue flake in a clay. Good evening to you all.
People are going to think Nat Sherman is back in business! LOL
If only.... From your lips to the ear of The Great Architect of the Universe, Brother @PipeIT ... Wouldn't that be something!
I never thought I'd live to see the day when NS offerings where no more; and, the NYC store... gone.
Havana Ovals, Turkish Ovals, Cigarettelos, and mouth-watering Timeless Collection Cigars .. all gone! no more!! .... You are gonna make me cry!!
Sorry Gents, in the meantime and unless some miracle were to occur, looks like you're stuck with your weepy friend and humble narrator...
Thanks again @FLDRD Beeswax fixed 3 of my pipes!
Wilke Tobacco Co. Peanut Butter in Peterson's Sherlock Holmes STRAND pipe sandblasted.
Peterson ‘23 SPD B42 and 2023 St. Patrick’s Day Reserve - lol, this is hazelnut! I think this is much better than last year’s, some may say that’s not setting the bar very high, lol, but just the ticket this evening. 
Missouri Meerchaum "County Gentleman " in a Tom Eltang straight smooth Dublin. 
Molto Dolce in my Savinelli Arcobaleno. My wife approves of the room note.
Country Squire Rivendell in my old workhorse Pete Shamrock 1L7
Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match in a MM
Part way through this bowl of C&D Wintertime Reserve 2021 Snow Day in a straight smooth dark brown late 1940s-early 50s Reiss Premier (Kaywoodie) Chester 67 Canadian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Just finished cleaning some pipes.
PS Luxury Bullseye Flake in a Radice Rind Straight.
I had some hopes for this, along with Luxury Twist Flake, I smoked a few puffs last night and tossed the LTF in the trash. Might as well of been smoking paper! LOL
Bullseye Flake isn’t much better, and it’s about ready for the rubbish bin too.
With both blends the moisture content, presentation, and tin notes are World Class I will give it that, and when you consider these 3, and tobacco is absolutely bland, quality somewhere has fallen.
I read a lot of reviews out there, but neither of these is anywhere near these reviews.
LTF, had zero flavor, it’s like when you are sick and can’t taste, but you feel the sweet, bitter, etc., sensations in your mouth, that’s like smoking this LTF, and the Bullseye is extremely close.
Here’s how I can describe the Bullseye, with the absolute slight hint, of bread, hay, grass is all it barely gives. Imagine the flavor profile of any good blend, amounts to the size of a 50g tin lid. Put a dot in the middle of the tin lid with a pen, and that’s all you’re getting here.
I loaded half a bowl of the Bullseye, I’ll finish it, but if it doesn’t start to show me something, in the trash too.
Sorry to say these PS blends are really bad!
P.S. I have higher hopes for Mr. Christian's Raven Eye Flake next.
