DTM Vanilla Honeydew.
 
Rattrays Royal Albert in a Petersons Standard system 314. This is a new tobacco for me. One that Mrs Z surprised me with. Its a mixture of Black Cavendish, Burley & Virginia. With a topping of Orange, honey, & vanilla. The aroma when opening the tin was very citrusy. But I couldn't detect the honey or vanilla. It did seem excessively moist, and took a few lights to get it going. I will tray this up on a paper towel, and let it dry for a while. However, and I'm not sure it didn't fit with the pipe, it burnt like a volcano. I'll try it again in a different pipe, once it's dried a bit. But I can definitely taste the citrus, feels like I've just eaten a very large orange, with the skin on.

Zip, sounds like an English version of SWR Aromatic? Maybe try it in a cob?
 
Some of Zippos fav Hobbits Weed in a Butz Choquin magnum bent brandy. He is right, this is damn fine tobacco. Goes great with morning coffee, of which I am on my 2nd mug, lol. Overcast and gray here this am, 50% chance of rain later. 50 F but feels colder due to dampness and a slight wind chill. Reminds me of London, lol
 
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2014 Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster in a smooth straight brown 1950 Dunhill 48 bulldog group 4 root briar with a black vulcanite fish tail saddle stem. Have enough left on the bag for a bowl or so. Watching the Padres-Phillies game.

Celebrating getting my 3 ply 16 foot 2x12 deck beam lifted and in place on the posts (with some safely done observation help of my wife), so I thought a bowl of Peterson 3P Perfect Plug in a Savinelli Trevi 320EX was appropriate. This is tasting a bit different, and it was a good bit drier than my first bowl of this blend. It's definitely a keeper.
 
Just ordered Yorkshire tea, Red and Gold. Hope it's the right stuff, lol.
The difference between the Red and the Gold varieties is that Yorkshire gold has a milder and finer taste. With that said, Yorkshire Red is a great high-quality tea blend. I drink the Red, as I like the strength. But way to go Ranger Buddy, your be wanting a bowler hat, pin stripe suit and umbrella next 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Have the bowler hat and umbrella. Haven't worn a suit in 6 years since I retired, lol.
 
Not far from finishing this bowl of first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Watching the West Coast Pipe Show via a buddy of mine.
