Did a set of walking reps, and am not far from finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem. Fed all the ferals except for the absent Tomato the Brave. Abner the Eager is inside eating his body weight in food. Since we haven't seen him in a couple of days, Abner is making up for lost time.

Great to see you again. What is your take on the 515/507 mix? I am struggling to figure out what to add to it so as to create a more full experience. Currently Ives adds a small amount of Turkish, burley, and a small hint of cherry.

I’ve only had the one this morning, and I think I like the two better on their own-to me the the tannic quality of the 515 clashes with the sweetness of the 507.
After reading your post, I mixed a pinch of Five Brothers into the mix-I can tell you this doesn’t smooth anything out! No bueno.

I've added some green river Cavendish this morning - to the already oriental and burley that was added, and it filled out quite a bit. The issue I have with 515 is that I am one of those who gets a tin tasting tongue from it. Yet, I like the 515 quite a bit and have a large amount of it. So, my only route is to find a way to mix it with a blend where I can enjoy it and not get the tin taste afterwards.

Just finished a few bowls in my Charatan's Lane era Executive. What a great pipe.

Enjoyed a tall stack of cinnamon raisin French toast with a golden delicious apple and some unsalted peanuts on the side. I'm near the half way mark of this bowl of year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Gold Star 50th, neat, is my drink. Getting ready to clean a few pipes.

So the blast sealed the deal.

I see that several people have posted smoking the 3 Sails/5 Bros mix lately. It is becoming my most smoked blend. I'm finding 3/1 tastes good and is repeatable for me. Do you have a favorite mix ratio?

Lately I’ve been eyeballing it but I’d say my current ratio is 5 Brothers/3 Sails 2/1.
