A third of a bowl left from a freshly opened pouch of year 2010 Amphora Original (Brown) in a full bend barley sandblast Peterson 125th Anniversary 1898-2023 No. 172/330 302 brandy military mount with a silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip saddle stem. Needs a tad bit of hydration, but it's good as it is.

Fed all the ferals, all of whom are inside snoozin', and are out of the 30 degree weather, did a load of dishes, cleaned a few pipes, and did a little low calorie snacking. I'm smoking year 2013 E-soterica Tilbury in a smooth medium bend 1999 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink as I do some reading.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unbranded Nording pot with a couple of small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style.

It's really cool how you are mixing Cherokee with other blends like Elizabethan. How would you describe the result? I'm guessing that just naturally it would be like a bit of both- making the Elizabethan a bit simpler and adding flavor to the Cherokee.

I did that with American Spirit RYO Pow Wow Blend and it worked great. I was mixing it with Captain Black Gold. Pow Wow Blend adds a minty flavor and Captain Black Gold adds a sweetness and a classic pipe tobacco quality that I don't get as much with the Pow Wow Blend. I'm interested in trying some Cherokee myself, but they only come in giant 16 oz bags.
It smooths out the Cherokee, adds flavor,and of course, nicotine.

That's really cool and makes sense.
One thing that attracts me to Cherokee is that it's a Native-grown blend. I wrote a bit about some Native tobacco mixes that I tried in my introduction post here:

Can I please ask if you've tried other versions of Cherokee?

Welcome aboard. Just so you know, the majority of us don't mind being called "Indians".
