Starting out November with Cobblestone Virginia Plug from their Brick series. Recently dove into a few sleeper (in my opinion) straight Virginia blends for a blog and got reacquainted with this mellow and deep VA. Pictured in my Longchamp.

This blend is theoretically available in Spain, but I was unable to find it. It´s at the top of my must try list!

Mac Baren HH Vintage Latakia. Purchased in December 2020 in a Mauro Gilli half bent bulldog. Is this blend available in the US?. All the reviewers at Tobacco Reviews are European.

I believe that HH Balkan is the name of this blend for US distribution.

I pulled out a Jar of #8 Slice from L.J. Peretti as I wait for my Rouxgaroux (Watch City Cigar & Pipe) to arrive.

I've been on a Virginia kick, lately. C&D Yorktown in the "Old Tom" signature pipe - an Old Dominion Williamsburg clay.

Old Ironsides by Dan Tobacco, in a Savinelli 2023 Collection billiard (not too dissimilar to the one in the attached photo).

I have a lot of aromatics open because my tins are starting to get old. I am generally not an aromatic fan, so this is an interesting experience for me. 

*BriarWorks Peach Cobbler
*Missouri Meerschaum Creeper of the Corn
*C&D Jolly Old St. Nick 
*Cobblestone Amaretto
*Dan Tobacco Galway

The Cobblestone is my favourite with Peach Cobbler as a runner up. The rest are enjoyable as a novelty, but doubt I'll be smoking them again.

That’s a fine looking pipe. I’m going to get a calabash one of these days. They can vary in price quite considerably, so I think I’d be happier if I bought it from a B&M shop, rather than online. I want to inspect it before parting with any money.

After a tough (but rewarding) day at work, I’m taking no chances! So, Flanagan flake in my Night & Day Stanwell. It always hits the spot!

Enjoyed today Sutliff Match Ready Rubbed. Never had Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, but this Sutliff stuff is pretty good.

I personally think that the Sutliff match is equal if not a touch better than the original and far better than what it became when Lane/STG took over the brand. It’s good stuff!

Tried SMRR for the first time earlier this year. It's a rather nice tasting blend but the pound I bought is cut way too chunky. Is that the norm with this blend?

currently in rotation for this month is 

haunted bookshop which I am not fond of the taste and it ghosted my meer. 

fusiliers ration which is exceptionally good after Aging for 5 years. Looking to get 1 or 2 tins in the near future. Got about 3-4 bowls of it left tops 

balkan supreme which is aight.

515rc which taste like ketchup and vinegar. Not my ally too haha

 

might need to take out 2 or 3 slices or rich dark flake to make the rotation nicer to smoke hehe
