Just finished Arango Balkan Supreme in one of my favorite Jarl billiards. Stumbled on this tobac because I read somewhere it was a good old Balkan Sobranie sorta replacement. It is I indeed good. Gonna buy a lot of this.
The last smoke of the day is Sir Walter Raleigh in a black 1997 Brebbia Jubilee 925 silver banded grain sandblast briar calabash with a black acrylic stem. Have a few bowls left in this tub.
I'm almost done a bowl of The Solent Mixture in a Peterson Arklow. Will follow with the rest of my Three Year Matured Virginia tin in a Falcon Bent Rainbow Purple Crazy stem with a Smooth Standard Apple bowl. That's a half decent Virginia for sure.
On my third bowl of Royal Yacht today ( couldn't sleep so got up early) , this one in a tanshell #420 Charatan Billiard. :twisted: Chiccory coffee 'Nawlins style on the side. :twisted:
Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem.
I just returned from having my truck inspected and getting my registration renewed. After that fiasco, I'm settling down to smoke some Carter Hall in my Diplomat cob.
About a quarter left of this bowl of Director’s Cut in a smooth straight early 1960s 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. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink.
1970s Granger in a 1990 smooth medium bend Nording freehand sitter with a wider top than bottom that also has a ridge and a narrower bowl resembling an upside down spout, with an amber colored lucite stem with cream swirls.
Now smoking 2009 Hamburger Veermaster in a very early Ascorti straight New Dear KS billiard with a smooth shank and a black acrylic stem. This blend really improves with age.
