FBOT is SWR in a Grabow Royal Duke with a pipe cleaner draft modulator, this arrived in the mail from my son as either a Father's Day gift or a birthday present. He also sent me a gift card to the B&M in Blacksburg as incentive for me to drive up there for a visit.

 

[newbroom]

Using the same pipe as in the last post, a Royal Duke, and smoking a mixture I assembled yesterday consisting of:

C&D VaFlake, Dark Burley, with healthy add of Perique and another decent skosh of Lat.

The Lat remains condimental, while the Perique slightly dominates the overall profile with a mildness that can cause one to miss the nicotine high water mark and sneak up on you.

This came out good.
