I picked up some pipe tobacco samples from Finck's a while back to fill out an order. At first there was only one I thought was any good, so they were jarred and left to rest. My patience is being rewarded. With a little age, they are turning into a decent smoke. I had a bowl of Sir Winston and thoroughly enjoyed the Finck's rendition of the English style. Anyone who has spent time around a campfire with stretched hides curing over it will instantly recognize the aroma. The Dutch Cavendish is serviceable but not great. The only caveat with their tobaccos is that you must not puff too much as it gets harsh when allowed to get too hot ... they must be sipped slowly. I think their tobaccos are generally better than the credit given.

That is a beautiful pipe there Sam. The briar looks a lot like my Peterson Std System 312, except I think your bowl is bigger, and of course yours is a whole lot older.

Today I am smoking some McClelland VBC, a nice vanilla black cavendish (once it has some age on int). Might dig out the Dutch Cavendish this evening, which is a gold ribbon cut cavendish that gets quite enjoyable after several months in a jar..

that BBB is actually a surprisingly tiny pipe... a pete 312 is probably almost twice its size. tonight i had my first bowl of wessex campaign dark flake thanks to NWB... i have a feeling i'll be getting a few dozen tins of this for the cellar.

Between the pipe and the campaign... I must admit I'm a little envious.  Nice all-round.  :shades:

Another of  my own concoctions consisting of GH&Co. Brown Flake rubbed all the way out and blended w/ some McClelland Bombay Extra to make for a very mild English.  Burned it in a Brentwood Straight billiard with a tallish bowl.  Pretty nice for a calm, warm evening.

The Frog Morton Across the Pond is very good stuff! Have you tried the Wilderness yet?

This morning I smoked some Trout Stream, courtesy of Kyle, in my Savinelli. This evening the family is sitting around the camp fire roasting s'mores and shortly I'll be enjoying another bowl of Trout Stream in my Czech unmarked pipe. Good end to a great vacation.

So I started my morning with another bowl of the John Aylesbury Own Mixture, and I have to say that after about 4 bowls of this,I'm really loving it.  I really appreciate the way that the Perique comes out in it along with the Virginia, and is flavored nicely by the orientals and Latakia as condiments rather than the main course.  A pretty darn good value too.

That sounds good! Great descrition, mouth watering.. I picked up one of those ukranian briar pipes from ebay, to add to my new collection. I just smoked some of the blakin mix in it and being its the first bowl in this pipe, I was totally blown away. Smoked great! I hope it stays this nice after the break in. It came with a carbon layer inside the bowl, don't know if it helped, but the first bowl was perfect. I love this pipe! Great deal too, like 30 bucks.

I picked up a Stratford (London, England) estate pipe for cheap the other day. Have been restoring it by hand, and finally got to a point where I could smoke a bowl. Picked up some Old Country English from a local B&M, packed the rather large bowl, and enjoyed a very nice smoke. The pipe is working very well, though it still needs some cosmetic work. The tobacco is fairly heavy on the Latakia, so it made for quite a smokey smoke :-)

Started out this morning the same way I've started every morning this weekend with the Aylesbury's Own.  Haven't gotten my fill of it yet...  Probably load up some of my free Sutliffe #5 here shortly.  Maybe a Vaper this afternoon.   :confused:
