Haddo's Delight in a new MM Country Gent. I am a big fan of this blend, but I find that when fresh it ghosts everything it touchs, including the rubber lining of my new Dunhill pouch!

Bagpiper's Dream in a Stanwell Golden Danish bent Dublin (made in Denmark).
I smoke mostly Virginias and Latakia. Prefer flakes, kakes, and plugs. But this Rattray's aro is amazing. Many thanks to papipeguy for sending me a sample. I just ordered a tin along with some other new to me tobaccos.

Old Colonial in the very first pipe I ever smoked (which was my father’s pipe), a late 1950s smooth with etched grooves straight Willard long stem adjustomatic Billiard. This finishes the trade sample.

Dunhill Durbar in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 999.
I've seen unfavorable comparisons of this to the old version of Durbar, but I quite like it.

HH ODF in a Trypis lovat.
Before that, a cob loaded with Bagpiper's Dream on the bottom and Borkum Riff Whisky on the top. The smoke went from shitty to sublime about mid-bowl. Go figure!

@hierophant - Bill Roberts is a pro tobacco taster who writes on PM.com as E Roberts. He has smoked a lot of the original Durbar - he says this re-release is the closest of those to their original incarnation. I certainly like it, although it can give me a nic kick if I'm not careful.
