A couple of minutes away from smoking one of the best tobaccos in the world: Strang in a 1999 medium bend black sandblast Savinelli Tris 677KS apple with a cumberland stem.
 
...final pipe of the day...Condor Long Cut in a Ser Jacopo "Rowlette" Lovat... :cheers: 

 
Luxury Twist Flake in a Mastro de Paja bent rusticated poker.
 
Now smoking Basil Rathbone's favorite blend: Pipeworks and Wilke #515 in a 1998 smooth straight Butz-Choquin Bistro 1501 pot.
 
Royal Yacht in a sandblasted Mastro de Paja brandy.
 
Listing this early: Sutliff PS Court of St. James in a 1970s smooth medium bend Stanwell Rego 969-48 Design Choice 837 sitter with a vulcanite stem and ferrule.
 
A couple of minutes away from smoking Peretti’s #333 in a slight bend 1984 Stanwell Antique 124 grain etched with a smooth front.
 
Peterson 3Ps in a smooth briar calabash shape 1984 Fero Danese made in Italy.
 
Euphoria (Amphora Red Match) in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.95) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega.
 
Scotch Flake in a Castleford sandblasted bent bulldog.
 
Pulled a jar of two year old Newminster #403 Superior Rounds from the cellar today. Got a deal on another one pound bag of this blend recently, so thought it was time to see how this one is aging after two years.

The #403, once given a chance to age 2-3 years, is a really good smoke -- IMO,better than the Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bulls Eye Flake (which is also nice, but also needs a few years in the cellar) ... I think it's the Dark Fired Kentucky in the center of the Newminster's coin (the PS LBF uses cavendish) that makes the difference.

Good stuff and a great value for the $$.
 
Troost Aromatic Cavendish in a no-name billiard.
 
...early AM...MacBaren Matured Virginia...then, Ogden's Walnut Flake...now, HH Old Dark Fired Flake in a Ben Wade blast apple... :cheers: 



...up next...Sutliff 1849... :cheers:
