Old Joe Krantz bulk in my T. Cristiano fully rusticated Canadian pipe. 

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
 
Germain Special Latakia Flake from 2006, rubbed out well and letting it sit in a tobacco tray for about another 30 minutes. Seems extremely moist. 

Pipe of choice: my Ardor Giove Dublin ( DR )

It's that time of day:

My simple anytime blend when aged for a minimum of 1 year happens too also be one of my top 10 favorites:

C&D Bayou Night 60% and Lane Burley & Black 40% aged just over 1 year. I smoke this like a FREIGHT TRAIN and absolutely NO bite. I pack the pipe firm 3/4 of the way and get close to a 60 minute very enjoyable smoke.

Pipe of choice: Savinelli Series III UNFINISHED BILLIARD pipe. Has 11 huge fills but it's a superb smoking pipe. I did finish the briar with Bee's wax and mineral oil mixture. I've smoked this pipe over 300 times and the briar now developed a dark chocolate color. But the fills still stand out.

Almost finished smoking Jim's Evolving Work Blend in a 2003 Stanwell Golden Danish 56 Rusticated Canadian with a black vulcanite stem. Simply Orange is my drink.
 
MM Pride Tobacco in a MM Legend pipe. 

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
 
Sampling a bowl of a blend I made just over 6 months ago:

Burley, Virginia and Latakia blended with 100 PROOF Southern Comfort. It's now dry enough to sample and than age the rest for at least another year. The tobacco's I used were already aged for over 8 years. This is especially a great night time smoke.

Half way through this bowl of Granger in the third pipe I ever bought ($1.95), a 1974 smooth straight French briar Hadley Apple with a black vulcanite stem. A bottle of Sprite is my drink.
 
Just now opening a tin from 2013:

I purchased 6 of these tins on a closeout sale from a B&M that closed last year. I paid $4.00 a tin because I was told by the owner of this B&M that this blend is rubbish....lol. Everybody has different likes and dislikes, later I will post what I think!?!?!?

LaGloria Cubana pipe tobacco, the Latakia is the dominant player in this blend. 

Pipe of choice: one of my H. S. Studio black sandblasted poker pipes with a straight shank and stem. This pipe is dedicated to Lat blends because of ghosting possibilities.

Update: 2:01pm....well, if your still on the fence when it comes to smoking Latakia this blend will push you off...lol. It's not for everyone, but if you do enjoy Lats this blend is EXTREMELY smokey  and smells like stewed prunes as does the taste. The Orientals are WAY in the background but you do pick up a bit of the spice from the added Perique.  I did push this blend and absolutely NO bite with NO re-lighting. Would I smoke this everyday, NO! But I would about twice a week. So, ended up I got a bargain. But this blend is not for the faint of heart.
