I imagine this is the old blend of 3 nuns, So are you saying that is your all time favorite tobacco?? Or maybe top 5? I read your reviews and am always curious what your #1 is...!

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking Sam Gawith Cabbie’s Mixture in a smooth straight pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite stem.
Jravenwood: the VaPer Three Nuns is my all time favorite smoke. It hasn't been made since Orlik took it over in 2004, and the dirty so-and-so's changed the recipe.

 

[JimInks]

Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Ice tea and bergs is my drink.
