Hey crash, how do you like that roll up pouch you have? I've seen those on etsy. Where did you get it?

Thank

Some 2022 Carolina Red Flake in anticipation of the 2023 CRF w/ Perique dropping later in the week. Packed in my Gert Holbek Pipe Dan

Good tobaccos and very nice pipe. Is it because of an optical effect that makes it seem like the mouthpiece is bent or does it have a bit of a curve?

Thank you! and it is indeed bent—a slight turn at before the bit, where you see the light reflecting

Dunbar with a Mastro de Paja. One of my favorite pipes for one of my favorite tobaccos...

A great smoke, and that's a beautiful pipe! Very interesting stem, I like how the wooden mid-stem seems to be stained just a bit darker. It's also briar I imagine?

Yes, that part is also briar, and it is true that it is slightly darker, but not as much as it looks in the photo. It's a little misleading because it's actually not part of the shank but rather the mouthpiece, as I think you've perceptively realized. (Forgive my bad English, as I have to use the translator to communicate with you)

Last night's smoke was Trafalgar by Drucquer & Sons with a Lubinski pipe. The more I smoke this tobacco the more I like it...

Mac Baren London Burley Blend in a Stanwell HCA. My jar of this has been empty for weeks and I kept thinking about it, so I finally built up the energy to dig through my tobacco and grab another tin.

Decided to have a first smoke in the Hilson Fantasia churchwarden I got a week or two ago. I’m smoking Peter Heinrich’s Dark Strong Flake in it.

I suppose you too have smoked Prince Albert. Does he look a lot like Carter Hall? Is it worth having both?

I guess it depends if you like burley. I haven't smoked Prince Albert since they moved to the Dominican Republic so I can't say. And of course you can't get this or the prince in pouches anymore.

I just wanted something simple and cheap to smoke as I have so many tobaccos cellared they will outlive me.

Cater hall isn't an aromatic but it has a top note. 

I say take the plunge and if you don't like it I give it away.

The 14 ounce bottle I have from Prince Albert is from 2007 and is from the John Middleton era. And yes, I really like burley. Thanks for your reply 👍

And at night Briar Fox (C&D), from 2007, with a Stanwell. As you will see, the tin in this mixture has changed over the years.

Thanks, I do! That’s not even all of the ones I have either. Although I only seem to end up smoking the one on the bottom.
