Smoker's Haven Exotique in a cob. For the ride home, my first taste of GLP Oddyssey in a GBD pot.

I have 6 tins of this sitting in the drawer for future consumption. Waiting for a package to be forwarded to me with the same amount of their "our best blend."

I have a tin of that that I have yet to open. I am sitting on the balcony of a Marriott Courtyard in Macon GA enjoying some Dunhill Nightcap in a brand new MM nose warmer.

I love Samovar, that's the most stocked blend in my humble cellar.

SH Best Blend is damn good too, I've only had a bowlful at pipe club but it's on my list. Does their krumble kake ever get stocked? What's the trick to scoring a tin or two?

Bengal Slices-- First time with this one. It's OK, but I'd like to be a bit stronger on the orientals. Good stuff though!

I've only had one bowl from my tin Chip, and felt the same way as I remember. Needed a bit more "umph" to it. However, I need to get back into the tin and burn a few more bowls...

The Jets game sucks, so I'm out in the garage with some penzance in a Hackert cob. :-)

This morning:

Mid '80 Elephant & Castle Deerstalker (virginia leaf) in the F.Baki meer. Wayne (OnePyroTec) had gifted me a few bowls of this ultra rare blend from last year, and now just getting around to trying this. I like it!

'15 Match Walnut in the CAO meer, fresh roasted Sulawesi White Eagle coffee on the side:-)

Watch City Old Dominion in a bent Country Gentleman with Finlandia and grapefruit juice on the rocks.

Half my label fell off the jar, something kake '08 out of a peretti half bent. Super smooth

Cracked a tin of 1792 flake with a '99 cellar date. Amazing how this really hasn't lost much strength in 18 or so years. The spicyness has decreased dramatically from current production stuff, still has the mouth numbing effect even after all this time.

As an aside these gawith tins cellar brilliantly in a cooler location. Really makes them draw up tight on the seals. Got that perfect air hiss on opening, which has not always been the case with some of my older junk.

Balkan Sobranie in the Corn Cob Nation POTY. Starting to hit the Balkans harder now that the hot days are behind us.
