Sunset Harbor Flake in a Hasty Blowfish

So first smoke of the Sunset Harbor Flake. I dont think i care for it. Im going to say it is really oriental forward. I dont taste any latakia at all. I know this is a balkan mix, but it has a very cigarette taste, which i can only assume is the Izmir. Ill give it a go in another pipe, but so far, no go.

Sir Walter Raleigh original in a LaRocca slightly bent poker with interlocking looping carving. I saw this pipe at Pipes By George, and I thought the carving was a little two folksy, but the idea of it followed me home. About two weeks later, I decided I'd go back, and if it was still there, I'd buy it -- it was and I did. It has a good deep bowl that gives a long smoke. I've owned it for about ten years.

This reminds me I have a tin of Sunset Harbor Flake from 2006 or 2007 in my cellar. I honestly remember if it's cellared because I didn't initially like it or it's cellared because I did like lol.

OHM Turkish Red, burley based blend, in a straight tapered Tsuge "tasting pipe," which is a basic blast finish. It's a full-size billiard, which I picked up on a discount for about $40. It has the Tusge fit and finish, probably made for some promotion or as a house pipe.
