Went up into our high country today checking on feed, don't go up there a lot as its heavily timbered, about 2000 acres here. We run our wearers in this country through late spring/summer because it's so sheltered but once winter hits we lock this up, to cold and hard up here and cattle shiver any weight gain off.
I was smoking Dark Fragrant in a cob.

Part way through this bowl of Peretti Royal in a black sandblasted medium bend 2013 Mark Tinsky Coral 5 cherrywood with a smooth dark brown shank and bottom with a tapered black briar accented acrylic stem. Chatting with the fella who gave me the pipe and the tobacco.

Been smoking Haunted Bookshop in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat. This pipe has a giant chamber. This pipe provides around a two hour smoke. Perfect for movie time later in the evening.
Mac Baren's Club Blend with a touch of C&D Perique added .... using this to get by until my tins of Royal Twist get some age .... smoking in a Butz Choquin Rhodesian 1025.
Savinelli Essenza Cipriota from June 2014 in a Falcon with Meerschaum bowl
Nearing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a post 2007 Castello straight brown Sea Rock KK US made in Cantu (Kimo) apple with a tapered black acrylic stem.

Tonight it's Captain Black original in my longtime favorite workhorse pipe, a bent Country Gentleman cob outfitted with a bent C type Forever Stem.
I continue to be thoroughly surprised by (and a little uncomfortable with) just how much I seem to like Captain Black original. Outside of Carter Hall I had kinda considered myself beyond smoking drug store blends, especially drug store aromatics, but Captain Black is just so darn well behaved and tasty and I appreciate that it has a reasonably satisfying nicotine content.
It took me about 3 bowls to really nail down what it tastes like, because it's not quite plain vanilla but something creamy tasting and really familiar that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but tonight on my third bowl I figured it out! It's Coffee mate Italian Sweet Cream coffee creamer! That's exactly what Captain Black original tastes like!
It's darn tasty too, and exceptionally well behaved. I don't think I've ever had to relight a bowl more than once, it burns clean with little moisture left behind, and it absolutely refuses to bite or burn harsh no matter how high the wind is or how absentmindedly you puff it. If you're the sort who enjoys an aromatic from time to time and haven't tried Captain Black original yet then I'd highly recommend giving it a go sometime. You might be as surprised as I've been by what a nice and just generally pleasant and enjoyable blend it is.

Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a Ruthenberg.
Jim --- Will Sutliff be releasing this Brown VA Flake? Also, you've previously mentioned smoking their unreleased Black VA Flake. I have tins of Rattray's Black VA & I've recently acquired some Sutliff 507-S Stoved VA. Their Black VA Flake has an appeal. I also have Wessex Brown VA Flake & it's excellent.
Now smoking my Savinelli 673KS Fantasia with some Dunhill Nightcap from 2016.
2018 Capstan Blue Flake in a Cermak.
