Now alternating Pease Cairo in a Tilshead billiard with Pease Navigator in an Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4. Helps bring out the subtleties in both for my lousy palate. Haven't smoked Pease blends in a few years so picked up six blends recently. I noticed each blend seems to demand a few months minimum aging (I used to smoke 'em right out of the tin), but especially my strict attention while smoking like an audition or performance. Almost too much work (have a lazy palate, too) and makes me feel like a tobacco-blender 's soccer/football parent. I'm missing the simple pleasure of just packing a bowl and going about business or kicking back and doing nothing. YMMV. Peace.
Started super early this AM - getting a headstart on the weekend with a lunch beer and Capstan Blue in a James Upshall Tilshead bulldog.

Five Brothers in a cob. Grabbed a chunk of packed tobacco out of the pouch and twisted it into the bowl like I would to clean the bowl with a paper towel. As dry as this tobacco is, it smoked very well. I got a good 45 minutes out of this pack. Got the nicups now.
