Did a second set of walking reps on this warm, sunny day, and smoked a bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

Rougaroux in the meer, with a beer, oh dear.

This blend… is an interesting one: the get go is lack luster and I think it’s going to be boring, but it just shifts to be one of the most enjoyable blends after 5 minutes. Eventually, I think I will try and cake this.

Now smoking Kohlhase & Kopp Summer Edition 2022 in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a brown pearl acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend, too. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

A third of the way through this bowl of Kohlhase & Kopp Winter Time 2021 in a 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Reviewing this one, too.

How do you like this baccy?

It’s really nice, rich, and complex. I’ve smoked quite a few of Ken’s blends, never smoked anything from him, that wasn’t top notch.

This makes me consider, sure, a lot of the big names out there, made by Sutliff, K&K, STG, etc., are doing some good stuff, but, consistency, is something I hear a lot about, up and down too at times, from the big names.

So...

Someone like Ken, small batch, more boutique, it’s my personal belief as a pipe smoker, and I hope others will also believe, we really need to support the little guys like Ken, because he really makes some top notch stuff. 👍

I say buy some, and let me know what you think? ;)

P.S. Also grab some Sakura if it’s in stock! 😋
