Nearing the half way mark on this bowl of year 2016 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

@TheIronMonkey I bought some regular 515 for the first time last month. my first thought was how could more rum be added to this blend. I enjoyed it and have more but the jar note about knocks me out

Enjoying C&D Match late Evening and later Autumn Evening in the Vauen bent egg. These two blends are quickly becoming favorites (I'm also running low on others !). Autumn Evening requires some drying time otherwise its a wet smoke but has a pleasant honey maple whiskey after taste and smell. Match late Evening is best smoked slowly and savored ... very calming. I'm finding that my preferred comfortable pipes are the full bent billiard and the bent egg. Last night I had my last bowl of Lane 1-Q and was complimented on the smell ! I guess that's the one for smoking around others. I will have to place an order soon and am pondering what to re-order. I doubt I'll hit bronze, silver or platinum status but maybe I'll can get to mylar or tupperware ... ;) :ROFLMAO:
Pipes and cigars has a sale on Lane thru 12 March.

Going to have Wilke No. 515 in a Peterson’s Pipe of the Year 2021 Terracotta Dutch Billiard (122/500, which I like to think of as a Bizarro World version of a 221B Baker Street numbered edition) 4AB. This tobacco is from December 2021—I’m not sure if this is the true original recipe, or the one that had the oft requested increased rum content that someone mentioned here the other day, before there was the version that was marked as having twice the rum that @JimInks has been smoking lately. It seems pretty heavy on the rum and I suspect I might enjoy it with less rum; there’s an odd sensation on the tongue with this blend. Maybe it’s the booziness.

Try the regular 515. 515 Double Shot is likely what you are smoking. I, too, prefer the regular 515, and when I finish my bag of 515 DS, I'll go back to the regular version, which is what Rathbone smoked.

And perhaps a little dry time with what you have will help you out to some extent.
