Paul, you have "peeked" my curiosity as to why you doubt that you will finish that tin of RY? Is there something wrong with it? If it was made while under Dunhill, it must have some age on it.

Congratulations on the Grayson win. Mighty impressive, indeed.

A question on your Plum Pudding.... I recently pulled some of that out after not having smoked it in a year or two and noticed that it seemed very Latakia forward. Moreso than I remember it being. Maybe it was the combo of the Lat and the Perique, I'm not sure.
Anyway, just wondered if you noticed anything like that? Do you smoke it on a regular basis?? Thx.

Thanks, Our Rams have a chance to repeat this year.

I think it does have a very heavy Latakia presence. Especially on the backside and retrohale. I get a sweet tobacco and plumb spice at first then, that smokey finish. It's not an everyday with me, but get into it maybe a couple times a week. I would probably smoke it more, but the Wife hates it, so mostly when I am outside or she's not around

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't know if it was just me or what. I don't recall it tasting this way, but that has been more than a year ago since I last smoked it. I do like how it finishes, but I have to be in a certain frame of mind, ha.

I really like Bertram pipes and that one is fantastic!

Thanks! I agree. This 30 grade has some nice grain patterns and it’s a great smoker. A great burley blend and ribbon baccy pipe.

Nice pic, nice job to catch the smoke!

Brisk and a bit windy today. Found a spot in the North garden with a southern exposure out of the wind.
A mug of strong black coffee and some ‘22 HH Burley flake in the House of Robertson Billiard. Can’t believe these calendula are still blooming!

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. This will finish the tin. M'lady and I fed all the cats although Daisy the Feral Princess was fashionably late. She's eating now. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
