Preparing my last pipe of the night:

Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake from 2005. Letting it air dry for another 30 minutes in a tobacco tray before packing my pipe.

Recently opened a tin of Balkan Sobranie from December 1986 and pipe of choice is my Bjarne smooth Apple Giant with a bent stem. A one of a kind tobacco deserves a one of a kind pipe.

Starting off my smoking day with Uhle’s 300 in a 1982 smooth slight bend straight grain Ben Wade Martinique freehand sitter with a wide top and a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Grape Nehi made with pure cane sugar is my drink.
 
A few more bowls of this tin I opened a couple of weeks ago. The other tins need to be aged for a minimum of 3 years. Was not that impressed with the recent release!

C&D Bayou Night bulk version, I purchase this great blend by the pound and always age 3/4 of it in Mason jars. I do prefer this blend a bit on the dry side, I find it will not bite and also usually no re-lights. The bulk version is every bit as good as the tin/can version. 


Pipe of choice: Radice Chubby Reubens Rhodesian Shape Bullcap Bulldog
