Started the day with some well aged Dark Star by McClelland in a Stanwell Canadian. Perfect outdoor smoking conditions here I Richmond, VA.

Last night: Chatham Manor in a MM/C&D acrylic stem cob, special series, great pipe. The blend I found so-so for a first bowl -- pleasant, very mild, but had some little harsh edges and didn't stay lit particularly well for a tub blend, though mine was 2 oz bulk. However, a little time and a little drying may make this far better; we'll see.

Folks,

As a recent born again piper I've tried just a few tobaccos. Started with Clan (old favourite) then Condor, then a special loose bought Black Cherry and finally Petersons Old Dublin. Well, the Petersons is favourite by a long way and my daily smoke.

Don't know much about other baccies and would like recommendations for building up a small collection of really nice smokes, after the style of my 'Old Dublin'.

D.

I'm gonna do @chasingembers sidework for him and say if you like Old Dub, give (Stokkebye/Arango) Balkan Supreme a try. Also, I haven't popped my can yet, but I read that Rattray's Red Lion is K&Ks version of the Old Dublin recipe. As far as manufacturers go, K&K is top notch so I assume it will be on point. Black Mallory is another similar blend. Pretty much anything advertised as being like MM965 should be appealing to you.

I had that blend for the first time the other night and thought it was enjoyable, I need to give it a few more rounds.

Let’s see it.. it’s an Il Duca?

I have put fire to some Dunhill 965 that I Still have after stuffing it down in this 1971 Dunhill 2s.

Finished my tin of Jerry Saronno, coming close to also finishing C&D's Byzantium and Bayou Morning Flake. Itching for some Burley now and hovering over C&D's Haunted Bookshop and OJK. I know it's going to be OJK in fact just biding my time a bit as the other two tins need some more days to finish. All three stellar for my tastes.
