2012 Fribourg & Treyer Special Brown Flakein a Rad Davis Billiard.
Dunhill BB 1938 in a Kaywoodie super grain Liverpool.
Just finised soe HH Rustica in a Radice Rind Canadian and now it's Match Victoria (Elizabethan) in a Peterson Newgrange Spigot 107. This really is a fine blend, and while I can't compare it to the version of Elizabethan it's based on, I can confidently say I dig it a lot more than the current STG version.
My first go at Sutliff’s Heavy English in my much loved Bertram Paneled pipe. I was expecting a latbomb but found an oriental forward blend. Won’t go into the rotation, but will be there for the times when variety is the spice of life. Happy Friday y’all!
Half way through this bowl of Mike’s Home Brew Box Pass Blend in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.
Partaking some of C&Ds Opening Night in a BST Billiard. 
Just my 2 cents but part of it is just the nature of that particular tobacco. You've got Indian air-cured and African fire-cured tobaccos steam-pressed into moist and meaty and gnarly flakes. I've been smoking it for several years and I still have plenty of re-lights (like every couple of minutes). I eventually learned that it was just part of the deal and not something I was doing wrong and I just made peace with it. The re-lights don't seem to have a negative effect on the taste of the tobacco so it's just a slight inconvenience more than anything

Smoking some Pease Stonehenge Flake in a chewed up old MM Country Gent.
Oriental Silk in a Ashton XX pebble grain Canadian.
Sutliff Match Victorian in a Sasieni Four Dot Viscount Lascelles S
Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am now smoking year 2014 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Chatting with an editor.
Squadron Leader in a Blakemar Matador Moffat. Listening to instrumental Classical music on Echo Dot.
Amphora Burley in a smooth bent Peterson Shannon B11 brandy sitter, one of my favorite Pete shapes.
Packed it early morning, but didn't smoke till early afternoon. EMP in Peterson POTY 2019.
Yeah, that's exactly how it was...just going out like every 3 min. I am puffing like a train trying to keep her lit, "I ain't got no time for dat."
I do appreciate the advice, I was looking for something like Germaine's rich dark flake and thought that this might be similar..but no! I am only in for 100gr so not a big investment and the search continues!
PS Luxury Twist Flake in a tomato lattice meershaum with bent stem.
50/50 mix of Sutliff constituents as shown for a noon smoke in a Dunhill Group 3 County. 
Mail came in...just finished my first bowl of C&D Dreams of Kadath, very interesting smoke. Did not find as much dark fired as expected and enjoyed whatever flavoring they use. Strangely, it reminds me of a spicier version of Dan Tobacco Blue Note, in a way. I definitely like it.
Drying some Solani 633, can't wait to try this stuff-much more familiar. The non-sealed tin threw me off but the flakes are perfect. Happy Friday!
