Some new tins. Didn't smoke them. Consummate Gentleman in Peterson SH Baskerville natural finish that now looks like dirty bottom of a foot. But smokes great!

SG St. James Flake in a Castello Old Antiquari #65 KKKK Kino.

 

[poettheologian]

Having some 2015 McClelland Balkan Blue in my Radice Rubino handmade cuty with quarter bent vulcanite mouthpiece.

 

[JimInks]

It's time for some red Virginia, so I'm smoking a bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Jupiter Slices in a 1986 three quarter bend Bacchus face CAO meer with a dark tortoise shell colored tapered acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

 

[dcon]

Sutliff #507-C VA Slices in DIY Briar #1.

 

[condorlover1]

SG RB Plug in an silver banded 1899 meerschaum 6 1/2" 'cutty' pipe with AP stamped on the silver band - no idea who that was but the pipe smokes just fine.

 

[tech49]

Smoking a 1:1:1 mixture of Lemon Virginia, Burley and Red Virginia Cavendishes I cooked myself, no toppings or flavorings, in my garage pipe- a Crown Manolo Spot Carved 9mm. Out here in the garage cooking another batch of Cavendishes.

 

[MattRVA]

CRF 2019 in a Kaywoodie relief grain bent billiard.

 

[marlinspike]

Watch City #558 Flake in a natural-finish Missouri Meerschaum Pride. This is good stuff!

 

[JimInks]

Just past the half way mark on this bowl of the very dry year 2010 Villager Virginia No.444 in a smooth straight late 1970s Charatan Special 4148DC Reg. No. 203573 pot with a black double comfort vulcanite stem.

 

[marlinspike]

McClelland Blackwoods Flake from 2009 in a Macbaren Billiard

That should have aged quite nicely in 10+ years! ?

 

[rushx9]

Not far from sparking up a sample of Brown Clunee in a Chatham dedicated to Old Gowrie and other K&K VaPerKy blends. After tasting quite a few variations on the theme from this manufacturer under the Rattray's, McConnell's, and HU labels, I'm convinced that this particular combination of leaf is their specialty.
