Relaxing after a wonderful large pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom pizza with a bowl of freshly made chocolate pudding for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2012 St. James Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching/listening to the Braves-Rangers game as I go to do a little cleaning on the new estate pipes before I start cleaning the ones I smoked earlier.

Gonna have to order another tin or three of DoK, nearly to the end of this one.

You know how you say to yourself okay, I’ll buy one more pipe, but this is the last one? Well, here’s my latest “last one.” Breaking it in with some SPC Virginia Jazz.

Bayou Morning Flake in an Eltang. This was an estate, but seems barely smoked. This will change very quickly!

If epitome is the correct choice in wording, Cavendish to me is the epitome of pipe tobacco, one of the best representations as to what pipe tobacco is.

Of course, certain English and Aros, I believe fill similar roles, of historical references, meaning what people over the centuries have come to recognize as pipe tobacco.

I’m so much in love with cavendish, I’d love to have the vast majority of my blends filled with cavendish like this blend, or similar.

I can really see myself in an old English pub and a clay with this @halfdan and Sir Thomas Cavendish, for whom Cavendish is named after, was an English Explorer.

Cavendish, certainly has an English vibe to me.

A little reading for those that know little to nothing about Cavendish.
