    What Are You Reading?

    I posted a reading thread under the Community Direction's area and meant to post in the Round Table area, not ever having scrolled down far enough to see the Book Shelf area. Dock quickly fixed my error - thanks for the very fast response, Dock - and so I found this thread. So,... I'll just...

    Reading?

    I could not find a "what are you reading?" thread. Apologies if there is one. Recently started Umberto Eco's "Faucault's Pendulum" and the new edition of Tom Rosenbauer's "The Orvis Fly Fishing Guide". Wondering what you all are reading. Always looking for the next read. Cheers, TC

    Tobacco Variety

    Greetings TJ, et al., I've been smoking a bit of St. James Flake this week and I like it if I am in the mood for a big perique experience. I found it smokes a wee bit hot at times. To me this is Best Brown Flake and a LOT of perique, almost too much perique for me. Carlos, I much prefer...

    C&D Epiphany

    Ok, I could not wait until today to start my 4 bowl sample of Epiphany until January 6th, but I've finished it today. Here are my initial impressions - certainly I don't claim to fully know or understand this blend, yet. This is different from the House of Windsor's Revelation, and I realize...

    Mt. Vernon

    Thanks for those great photos, Justpipes! I've lots of fond memories of the place. I recall smoking down by the water many many moons ago. I used to fill potholes on the parkway on the way there. Took a couple of girlfriends there (not at the same time, mind you) over the years. A great...

    Haddo's Delight

    I've yet to appreciate this blend (ok, ban me if you must for such blasphemy). I've a tin with quite some age on it I may have to visit. I've tried it with at least a year of age. To me to is very complex, but not harmoneous. A cacaphony of flavors and, for me, too much perique. But it...

    Low Country's Waccamaw

    Any other thoughts on this blend would be very helpful to me. I've collected 4 tins and I'm trying hard to let them age a bit. Below is a review I put on TR. I think I wrote something similar on the Knox board. This is my initial impression. I know I should have waited until I've smoked at...

    GLP's Embarcadero - The Thread

    Hats off to Vito and Yak for your impressions of Embarcadero. I've finished about 5 bowls from a sample. I'm a BIG fan already, and I don't even know it yet. Tangy and more savory virginia and the izmir is smooth and rich. Very complex Va-oriental blend, but is not rough like some...

    Balkan taste??

    PD, First, you are too kind, but thank you for your encouraging words. Second, I think your suggestion would be optimal, but I suspect that will never happen. Perhaps it will just be what the current usage of the term happens to be, like what happens with dictionaries. meanings of words...

    Dunhill Light flake

    PD, I beg to differ. I appreciate and learn from your observations! Keep them coming, please. Cheers, TC

    Westmoreland

    Hi Gospelman, I really like Westmoreland. I think it is a real classic English blend. I haven't tried Commonwealth, so I can't help you there. Another one to finally get around to trying. I like Squadron leader, with some age and dried out some. But I like Westmoreland better. Cheers, TC
