I was laying around in a hospital bed just waiting for new pipes to drop. Probably a little pricier than I'd usually go for but I honestly thought someone else may snatch it up, so I pulled the trigger.

Blend #2 in my gracious sample package is Gawith and Hoggarth Bosun’s Cut Plug. The Kaywoodie Campus White Briar will probably be my dedicated Lakeland pipe-not a large bowl, but not tiny with thin enough walls to keep me from hotboxing the blend (I’m still new enough to need a reminder to slow down, don’t sweat the relights instead of puffing like mad to keep a bowl of unknown to me tobak from going out).
The Virginia and Dark Fired are quality, breaking through the scenting/casing which is sweetly floral in nature but balances the strength of the tobacco surprisingly nicely.
Only on a retrohale or a French inhale does the perfumey/rosey scent become a little more off putting than I’d prefer, but it’s a grand experience nonetheless.
Gets a little wet towards the end.
3.25/4

For the third time this week I'm enjoying Casey Jones Beyond Brave. Which was a "free" gift with a tobacco order. Very smooth.

I was eyeing that one, very nice.
Thanks, TN.

Honestly, to my taste, that is my favorite yeti from his site or SPC. I wouldn’t mind a 6 inch version.
You can tell who made it in an instant. Great pipes, I need to get one from him and Tinsky being from Montana.
Retired to the Smoky Hideaway with some SPC Virginia Jazz stuffed in my birth year Dunhill. This is a fantastic VaPer in my humblest of opinions. Don’t know if it’s available all the time or how it’s rated, but it’s a gem. Grabbed a few tins on a whim a couple years ago and happy everytime I bring it out.
Hilarious. I was generously gifted some of this as well from @ben88. It’s been sitting in a jar for a couple of years and I literally just picked it up and said, ‘maybe tonight’s the night I try it.’ Then I looked at the whole Lakeland thing and needing to fret about which pipe I was going to use. Ended up going with an old faithful VaPer instead. Thanks for the review. I will try soon and let you know my thoughts.
Best brown no.4 in an imp. Great big bowl on this pipe.
