Jim, i looked up that Black Sea Sokhoum tobacco, and even in general, it looks to be unusual. Is it rare to see this type of tobacco in a blend? I saw McClelland had it. Thanks

Outside of McClelland, it has been rare to see.

Afternoon gents. Pre dinner I'm having Stanwell Melange in a Bari Senior slight dublin with Earl Gray tea. A bit frustrated by this blend. Based on the description and reviews I thought I would really like it. But so far, yeah I know, only 3 bowls, but it just isn't appealing to me. Maybe I just haven't found the right pipe match up. Seems to burn a little hot and has a bit of a rough edge. Will keep trying.

Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of in a dark brown medium bend grain etched 1970s Preben Holm Ben Wade Prominence B freehand with a black vulcanite stem. This may get me to dinner time. Watching the Braves-Pirates game.

I'll hope to get some and that the perique is a nice measure in the blend, but more excited about the Black Sea Sokhoum. Also, looking forward to reading your review as always.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, big wild caught catfish and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert.

Almost a third of way through this bowl of year 2021 Watch City Glass Slipper Micro-Batch in a post-2000 straight brown sandblasted Tom Eltang cherrywood with a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Good evening everyone. Apres diner smoking Watch City Terrapin Station in a Nording 70s vintage freehand. Kirkland brand Canadian whiskey on the side. Went to go shooting this am but they issued a level 1 fire watch so no firearms discharge allowed. Fairly pleasant 82 on the patio. My last smoke for today. Good night my friends.

First, I'm smoking Word of Mouth in a Charatan's Make 4420DC billiard. I'll get the right ingredients for Urban Cowboy tomorrow. This is just kind of beefed up black cavendish, but there's something to be said for that.

I ordered a few pipe carving kits today, but two of them are morta and one is meerschaum. I thought it'd get me off buying Charatans on eBay, and doing something a little more productive. And morta has some mystique to me.

Lastly, I rolled down to my old b&m, took a page from @Balisong's book and got a new cob. The guy showed me "$160 worth" of a single tamper, and then a bunch of $8.95 ones, and I picked one of those, and as I was turning away, he pulled out the one I actually got. This one has mother of pearl and it was just a few bucks more. The cigar box is new too. So I bought something , and wasn't just a bum looking around at the same old pipes.

A couple of minutes or so away from smoking D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
