Crooner in my Red Rossi Canadian, sifting through the coverage of the naval collision off the Eastern coast of Britain - looking less and less like "an accident".

Man, that was one of the first tobaccos I ever smoked! Not tried that one since about 1972. I'm tempted to try it again. I remember it as a fine smoke.
It is a good otc pouch tovacco. @JimInks has experience with the older version too, but I am not sure of the differences. I get mine at a local grocery store for less that $5 for 1.75 ounces. That's hard to turn down.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm smoking Wilke 10 Downing Street in an undated straight, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard billiard with a brown accent on the tapered black vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Still working on labeling the pipes I got yesterday.

@Swede , I pointed out the differences between the 1970s, 1980s Amphora Original to the current version in my review.
 
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have passed the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2014 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Downloaded the Barling pipe photos, and am labeling them. Not sure about the era that a couple were made.

Pashas Dream in a no name poker. Struggling to find time to relax and have a smoke. Making an effort now to park it for a while. My SPC meeting was tonight and they were having a pipe sale but I decided to nap instead.
Got my dump truck running today and I can get going moving stumps into the burn piles. I found a couple of rippers for my excavator at the upcoming auction. Hopefully I can get one at a good price. I've got acres of stumps to pull and that ripper will save me months of work.
 
Earlier, I smoked a bowl of several years old Dunhill Elizabethan in a straight smooth, dark brown patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

Currently, I am passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2018 Dunhill London Mixture in a brown medium bend 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a tapered black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Thanks Jim, I got in a hurry and forgot what I'd read. I'd also forgotten it had Orientals-such a hit to lose a good blend like this as are the many others being lost from Sutliff. Great review:

Passing the quarter mark of this bowl from a freshly opened tin of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Fed all the cats except for the absent Abner the Eager. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

My second pipe, Durham Don with some Old Joe Krantz and a sprionkle of Granger - I overstuffed my first pipe and had to repack. Coffee, of course - I'm using Demerara sugar, it lends a bit of molasses flavour to the coffee. Usually I use light brown sugar which has a bit of a caramel flavour. Never white sugar - BLECCH!
