Three Missouri Meerschaum pipes: all straight, Country Gentlemen, Mark Twain and a Diplomat.
Tobacco: India Trading Company-Officers Cub, C&D Black Duck, 8 oz of Peter Stokkebye English Oriental and Mac Baren Bold Kentucky. All blends I've never had before. I wanted to get some Stokkebye Proper English since my stash is in Arizona and I'm in Indiana but it seems everyone was out.
 
The two Peter Stokkebye's are on my favs list, especially Proper English!! Good stuff to have around!!!! FTRPLT
 
Proper English is my usual go to English blend. Why I didn't bring any with me I don't know other then it was a over 65 years old moment. I usually get the stuff by the pound.

Mike, I have all three of those. Like them all. Pretty sure you will like the English Oriental, I found it quite tasty. Of course ymmv. Would not sweat over the Proper English. Not that great. EO is better.
 
I also got two packages today. The Maestro de Paya and Peterson from Brunello, and surprisingly, the Design Berlin from Germany. Wasn't due till late Feb. Beautiful pipe, not sure about the filter. Seems to slow the draw but we will see. Pics later.

I guess that is where everyone's taste is a little different as I've always enjoyed Proper English. I unlike most others have never been a fan of Dunhill 965. Go figure. A couple of the English blends I really miss that you haven't been able to get in years is the old Bufflehead blends of Snow Goose, Emperor Goose and Goldeneye Decoy.
