- Belgian-grown tobacco?! What's it like?“Operation not Chenets cake” in full tilt. I dig the shag baby!La Petit Robin in a Herbaugh. I have tried the pretty normal cut La Brumeuse and loved it. Shag just packs and burns well, otherwise pretty similar.
Kaywoodie Shilouette with a metal band. 1940s vintage. Smoking an oriental-Virginia forward blend of 507C, 515RC, Maryland, Turkish, Smyrna, White Burley, and some Cherry Cavendish. I call this 88s. It is smooth, buttery, and the sweetness of the Virginias is ever present.
No, it is not. It is likely a post 36 now that I think about it and after rechecking. But of all my pipes, the craggy sandblast and the depth of the finish shows best on the one.
Its pretty good tobacco, different. I would recommend you trying some. there's a learning curve though. Comes completely bone dry, at least you're not paying for water! Then you have to pack it tighter than you would ever think, I mean cram it down in the bowl after it's filled with all your might. Light, sip slow and it's a wonderful nutty experience if sipped. A nice vitamin N boost as well.
Most don't rehydrate it, keep it dry as it comes.
Good stuff-I keep forgetting to get some bulk P for such endeavors.
I always have a couple lbs of the Perique around, can't have enough. Thanks, I'll know the results Monday on the pipe, keep your fingers crossed
It’s called semois burley, it’s similar to normal burley we are used to but has some uniqueness, a bit of licorice maybe?, very dry on purpose, you can pack tight, in fact you should. I love the stuff. Worth trying. Not as nic heavy as you might expect.

@MisterBadger It is really great what you and the others have done and continue to do to help preserve the gravesites. I looked it up and its an interesting place and would be perfect for a contemplative smoke.Smoke Of The Day: Peterson's Irish Flake and Irish Cask, mixed 50/50 in a Peterson military mount Rhodesian 999.November 2nd, All Souls' Day... an appropriate time to spend the day working in a graveyard - in this case, St Leonard's, Ludlow. Primary objective, to clear/weed the five War Graves and the access paths to them, in readiness for the annual Service of Remembrance on Monday 11th at 11 AM. All done. Some secondary objectives achieved, too. Good bunch of volunteers there today. All I had to do was smoke my pipe and direct operations (though I actually did a bit more than that). Many souls around - in the air, in the trees, among the leaves, and underground. Spent the last hour there as others might say, 'on my own' - but it's a very companionable place.
