I've noticed that the Walnut performs very well when finishing off (relighting) a partly smoked bowl. Many other tobaccos don't perform so well on relight. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I agree, I have you to thank for getting it, I’d thought about it before but always put it off but after your comments about it I had to give it a try. Just let me know when you need more. ?

Not done yet. Two flakes of PS Navy Flake in Peterson SH Original. Took 2 hours for 2/3 of bowl from the first light. Just got exhausted smoking it. DGT for the rest this afternoon. Blend is very clean. Slight sweetness. Didn't smell any topping. Perique is a bit peppery. Very little to no dark fruit note. Good plain Jane smoke.

The Capstan Gold Navy Cut (yellow) tin has finished. I am smoking the last in a Falcon with a new (second smoke) meerschaum bowl. Small pieces of tobacco or ash get into the holes and engravings of the rim, I didn't think about it when I ordered, it was looking nice, better than a smooth rim, this annoys me a little I have to confess... Never mind. Listening to lute music, drinking black coffee. Weekend is moving on and the Big Clock is ticking. As always does...

I’m settling down with a Nording Sailor full of Gaslight to watch the FA Cup, it’s the oldest cup competition in football history, think Super Bowl but without cheerleaders, a half time show and excitement in general (sorry football fans). I’d happily trade this for a good baseball game anytime. As a Londoner I should be rooting for Chelsea but they’ve won it nine times so sod ‘em, Leicester deserve it more imo.

Good weekend and pipes to all! Starting with Wilke Lizzie Blood Red English in a Nachwalter straight grain Billiard with tapered pearlescent stem. Feels "English" today down in chilly but sunny east coast Florida, so I'm looking forward to Pease Westminster, Bengal Slices and, my favorite, Peretti Royal Blend (those VIrginias are going to taste great tomorrow).
