A gift I received in yesterday's mail, about 5 oz. of Strang from a friend in Europe :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
In my opinion, the BEST pipe tobacco I've ever had.
Strang ( I prepare some rubbed out and small coin cuts. I do layers when filling my pipe for best results ) have not had this wonderful tobacco in some time!
Pipe of choice: Ardor Mercurio Bent Egg, perfect pipe for this tobacco
So, what can you smoke after really enjoying a bowl full of Strang in comparison? NOTHING.... :bounce: :bounce:
So therefore it must be a dessert tobacco
5 year aged Molto Dolce in my Weber carved/rusticated chubby Rhodesian. I restored this beauty last year. Looks like a Tom Howard or Tracy Mincer, why you might ask??? Most likely because they all came from the same factory out of New Jersey. Nice chunk of briar :cheers: :cheers:
Half way through this bowl of Rich Dark Flake in a straight sandblasted black billiard 2013 PSF POY Kaywoodie with an amber colored lucite stem. A bottle of Sprite is my drink. Watching Mad Dog Russo.
About a third left of this bowl of D&R Raccoon’s Delight in a 2003 straight grain Karl Erik Ekstravagant A medium bend freehand sitter with a black acrylic stem.
Part way through this bowl of St. James Flake in a straight sandblasted pre-transition Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver band and military bit. Ice tea and bergs is my drink.
Temple Bar in my fully restored Kaywoodie hand carved/rusticated Chubby Pot. Perfect pipe for this blend. After rubbing enough for a pipe full out I let it air dry in a small tray for 20 minutes. This blend will definitely improve with some age.
About a third of the way through this bowl of Paul’s Amphora Match in a 2002 IMP smooth full bend egg shaped meer with a black acrylic stem. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink. Watching the Cubs-Dodgers game.
