Enjoying the sunny skies and smoking a 2017 aristocratica dublin, in keeping with the dublin theme we seem to have going on today.
Keep it smoky guys!
I just received my new shipment of Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia, and Peter Stokkebye 81 Danish Export. I'm going to be a little busy over the next week or two making some good tasting blends! The HH is a little on the mild side, and PS 81 is a bit stouter! Nice aroma on both tobaccos. I may make one blend with the HH, a second blend using PS 81. I will even attempt mixing the two together in a blend and see what transpires.
Enjoying some davidoff flake medallions paired with some lovely single barrel bourbon. Great start of the weekend!
Switching from my usual to Sun Bear Mountain Flower for an after dinner smoke.
Smoking some Uhle's 00 in an old 1936 171 restored group 3 sized billiard ... a relaxing, delicious and easy-going burley blend.

This is a salute to @Ted . I'm smoking now a bowl of Orchard Mist limited edition from 2022 in my Diamondback 🍀😎😶🌫️
This is the most peculiar aromatic i ever smoked. REALLY good one. It is hard to describe due to its many different layers of flavor. The boring ones on duty might complain bc the added flavors are strong but for me who loves aromatic blends this one is splendid.
Louisiana Broken Flake (HU Tobacco), in a Stanwell Night & Day bent apple. This is quite possibly my favourite VaPer - and that’s saying something, as I have quite a few fantastic examples of the type/genre. It’s been a divine smoke every time I’ve tried it. Highly recommended.
Some old solani ABF in a 1961 59 Tanshell group 4 billiard … rainy morning in the mountains.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. While browsing through blends, I came across pumpkin spice. If any of our members even hints they like it, I will have my dog come to your house and take a dump on your stash. Be warned!
A bowl of OJK in the 1936 billiard 117 bruyere ... Let's keep it smoky!!!
Back to the Northwoods. Perfect on a rainy day. So… cozy. 🙂
I haven’t felt like switching from the Sun Bear Mountain Flower since last night and I’m smoking it right now in a TV churchwarden.

I misread your post as 'twitching' ... and was wondering... haha 🙂
I only start twitching when I pay attention to what is happening in the world, smoking combined with tuning it all out makes it go away 😃.

Keeping it smoky with some savinelli 1876 doblone d’Oro in a 1976 126 shell briar billiard …
Robbert McConnell fragrant blend. A nice mild smoke paired with a nice mild Welsh whiskey
Smoking some HH Bold Kentucky in a cob. Mac Baren does such nice packaging.
I think it was Rene that mentioned months ago he made a tamper from a twig. So I made one also. I have pretty bad nerve damage so a bigger tamper is easier for me to use. I then rusticated it. Lol
I've been detached from the Matrix up in the mountains for some solo camping and hiking. I took 3 pipes a pouch of Amphora Burley, Haunted Bookshop cookie, HH Burley flake and last minute add of a couple ozs of MacB Navy Flake. I pretty much smoked the Navy Flake exclusively. Just wonderful pipe tobacco.
I was so bitterly disappointed in the praised MB Plumcake. I never tried Navy Flake for that reason.
since your palate seems compatible:
what do you like about the blend? One only reads good things about it.
same with Stockton Roll Cake which is to be discontinued as a tobacconist told me….
It's amazingly smooth. Super easy to smoke. Has a wonderful burley base with a sweetish richness that just hits the spot.
I avoided it too thinking it would be bitey and overly rummy. But it's wholly toothless. Refined. Rich. Delicious.
SG Brown No.4 in a 1978 group 2 shell briar Dublin...
Hosted A:B tobacco tasting with two of my favorite medium English blends - G L Pease “Samarra” and J M Boswell’s “Northwoods”.
I personally prefer Samarra, but Northwoods took the honors with this particular gathering.
They’re both in my top 5 English blends, so no skin off my nose. 😎👍
Finishing the day as the sun goes to rest -- using another small bowl pipe -- filled with big N Burley in a 1967 dunhill shell briar 32 F/T Group 1 size... just a wonderful smoker.
