Smoking an old Savinelli ,it`s simply marked Emerson. Anyway, I filled it with Lane LL-7 and poured a mug of CR coffee,So,I`m good!

I primed some leaves from our tobacco plants a week ago, and decided to smoke some of them yesterday, but shredded and cased them and forgot about them. Today I'm smoking it in a MM cob, and it's great! No overpowering notes, it just tastes like Virginia bright. I can't wait to try the Russian red, I'm color curing some of those leaves. Orinoco is the name of this plant.

Smoking a Poul Winslow Lovat with Lane TK-6 and a Martinson k-cup. 4 of my charge card companies called me this morning,Some dirtbag got my info and is trying to cash in ! Sadly, I think they got the card info from Amazon. I had all 4 of those cards on 1 account with them.

I really like TK-6! Very good cherry tobacco.

Smoked this trusty no-name briar a bit ago with Haunted Bookshop. I can't make up my mind about that one. First bowl was a m a z i n g. Every bowl after that has been somewhere between ew! and 'ok'. Today was OK.
Next will be Sweet Burley from Jon's Pipe Shop.View attachment 11947

Have you ever tried C&D Pegasus? That is a burley forward tobacco. I add a little bit of black Cavendish to it to make the room note more pleasant. It's great on it's own but some bystanders don't like the aroma. I'm thinking about adding some C&D black Cavendish next time I make my one pound purchase. I've been using Captain Black Dark.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of early 2000s 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 in the military mount style. Watching the Reds-Marlins game. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Thank you for your response and the review! I've been smoking Drucquer and Pease offerings that rely on the Oriental components to define their profile. When I first abandoned aromatics I went to straight Virginias and by accident ordered Dunhill EMP instead of Flake. That tin changed my tobacco preferences and the hobby would be more rewarding if blenders were more descriptive of their components. I enjoy your reviews because you break down the Virginia components more than the marketing descriptions, Pease occasionally alludes to some of the Oriental varieties in his blends.

Thank you for the kind words. Blenders are fairly secretive about details because they don't want other companies copying them.

I just got done mowing lawns, 2 down and 2 to go! Relaxing for awhile with a Pete Strand ,Larsen`s 1864 and a dark roast k-cup for the caffeine blast. LOL!

I talked to John Brandt at Wilke, and he said I was right about the Turkish he was using.

Orinoco homegrown in an Altinay Dublin meerschaum. It tastes most like a Gawith and Hogarth Virginia to me.

I took an MM Legend 5th Ave. filled with GLP Abingdon while doing errands. Now I'm enjoying the beautiful afternoon with a Pride filled with GLP géométrie and a hard cider before unloading feed and hay from the pickup.

some leaves from our tobacco plants

Charley would you share your seed source and growing info along with harvesting and prep knowledge. If you can grow smokable tobacco in Oregon I may be able to do it in New Hampshire!

EZ have you changed professions from catering to landscaping?
