Final pipe of the night:

Preparing this fine tobacco in slices and well rubbed out: 

My all time favorite tobacco Strang in my Stanwell Royal Guard with a bent wide stem. 
A glass of Robert Mondovi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2005 will accompany this fine tobacco. Last glass left over from tonight's dinner.

This tin I just opened was born on this day 40 years ago. It's an original from Scotland:

Charles Rattray Hal O’ The Wynd 


[font=Merriweather, Georgia, serif]I'm savoring the moment, the smell of this blend is outstanding!! This is back when Rattray's blends were 4 oz. tins/cans. [/font]


[font=Merriweather, Georgia, serif]Pipe of choice : Ardor Urano Zulu Fatta A Mano[/font]

My simple anytime blend when aged for a minimum of 1 year happens too also be one of my top 10 favorites:

C&D Bayou Night 60% and Lane Burley & Black 40% aged just over 1 year. I smoke this like a FREIGHT TRAIN and absolutely NO bite. I pack the pipe firm 3/4 of the way and get close to a 60 minute very enjoyable smoke.

Pipe of choice: Savinelli Series III UNFINISHED BILLIARD pipe. Has 11 huge fills but it's a superb smoking pipe. I did finish the briar with Bee's wax and mineral oil mixture. I've smoked this pipe over 400 times and the briar now developed a dark chocolate color. But the fills still stand out.
When this pipe first arrived from an online well known retailer the stem had no hole drilled. How did this pipe pass thru quality control at Savinelli???

SPC Plum Pudding in my smooth T. Cristiano Billiard Bowl Bosso pipe with a square shank and some nice inlay work in the stem. Well balanced pipe for clenching. Another of my great buys from eBay a few years ago at $40.00. It's now for sale from another seller for $100.00.

Now smoking Dunbar in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Have enough left for one more bowl. A bottle of Cheerwine is my drink.
