Cornell & Diehl Palmetto Balkan 2024 in a Scottie Piersel Pencil Shank Footlong.

Had no plans to buy this tobacco until the release email hit my inbox in a moment of weakness. Glad that I bought it though as I am enjoying this more than I thought it would

I did the same thing with the Palmetto Balken. Mine should be here next week. Glad to hear you like it!

Beautiful shot!

Thanks! Oklahoma skies make it easy.

Five O'clock Shadow in a Briarworks bent apple. This is quickly becoming all I want to smoke. It's starting to dawn on me that I like blends with dark fired quite a bit.

Smoked a few bowls of Pegasus and finishing a bowl of Speakeasy now in my Tekin.

Cornell & Diel’s Speakeasy is from their ‘cellar series’ which I’ve been leery of. I always assumed they marketed the series as such to get away with using younger leaf, which would lead to a harsher smoke. After about half a tin of Speakeasy, I can confirm that this couldn’t be further from the truth. The tin I’m smoking has less than a year of age on it and it is a wonderful smoke indeed. Smooth, sweet Virginias, subtle rum casing, and a kiss of plummy perique.

Nightcap in a 606 Brigham Dublin recently refurbished by Charles at Dad's Pipes.

I just cracked open my 2nd tin of Nightcap. I loved every single bowl of the first tin, with the exception of the 1st one, which I smoked straight out of the tin after I opened it. I usually don't have a good experience with Dunhill/Peterson blends if I smoke them right after cracking open a tin, but I won't do it this time. My new tin is already dumped in a mason jar waiting for the first bowl in about a week or so.

I feel you man. I think it's going around!

It's knocked me down for the count this month.

I find most of the Peterson's stuff needs a good bit of drying for me. But it's all good! My Mixture is also a fave.

My tins of Nightcap (and Dunhill Standard mixture back in the day) had a decent moisture content straight off the tin, at least in my case. I guess the problem I usually have is that the tobacco in them needs to breathe a little out of the tin since they were too compressed in there, but I don't seem to have the same problem with other brands at the same moisture level. The mysteries of pipe tobacco, I guess.

C&D Capt'n Bob's Blend in a Peterson Dracula 80s bent bulldog. I like the tobacco flavors but am not yet sure about the top notes. Really different.
