Good morning Gentlemen! The sun returned to Athens, time to work with mouthpieces and tenons for my new meerschaum lined pipes.

Not smokin' anything right now, dangit!


So jim...what's the story on the Walnut? Latakia at all? Flavor profile? Is it like Warrior? Lakeland essences in there?
 
Special note: To all you guys that post pics of the pipe you mention - of any kind - that's really so cool for everyone.

Doesn't matter if it's a stock photo or one your uncle Slappy took with his Brownie Hawkeye...I LOVE seeing 'em.

THANK YOU!!!

Here's my review of Ogden's Walnut:
I find this to be a very consistent tasting smoke that burns well no matter how I handle the flake. There's a nice subdued natural Virginia sweetness and earth mixed in with the mild earthy nuttiness of the smoky, lightly woody Kentucky burley, which also has a little molasses and brown sugar sweetness. The spice from the Kentucky is very mild. The burley is the lesser component in terms of composition, but there's a healthy amount of it present. A few detect a little Lakeland essence, but I do not. It's not here at all. The topping reminds me of treacle, but I'm not certain that is what it is. Has a mild nic-hit. I also think it's a lighter smoke than the average ratings indicate, more of a medium than medium to full. Full of flavor and very pleasant to smoke, I only wish it was more available in the U.S. Leaves very little moisture in the bowl and has a nice after taste.
