I am curently smoking some of my own mixture, which is 1/3 latakia, 1/3 black cavendish(unflavored) and 1/3 Stokkebye's Cube cut. As you may guess, the latakia dominates. It's cooland smooth smoke which I find quite likeable. I'm smoking it in a new pipe aquisition, a full bent bamboo churchwarden. I will soon upload some pictures of it .

I was about to edit the above reply when the forum said that the time to edit had ended.
The latakia gives it's smoke and somewhat salty flavor, the cavendish delivers a smooth quiet note, and being unflavored little else, as for the Stokkebye'sCube Cut, its a blend of virginia and burley made into little cubes.The virginia gives a sweetness, and a bit of a bite, which quiets after its smoke a little bit. the burley adds body, nicotine, and a nutty flavor. All togather its very pleasant.

Having a smoke of a Montecristo cigar, admiring the Dunhill selection of pipes, the Parker & Peterson are more my budget for pipes, in moderation though, but I fell for a Dr. Plumb's Dinky Bent Briar Pipe - Light Natural, in accord with my current taste for my petite mountain Ozarks MM pipes, and short smokes while busy, on small bowled folk pipes.
It is cooler today and overcast, Pop is more relaxed, looking forward to my new Dinky pipe. Lunch next. A few puffs on my maple MM Ozark first, of my baccy Tom mix.....

After my excursion into hardwood folk pipes, Missouri Meerschaum & Polish & Ukrainian , it is a pleasure to smoke on my Parker Bent Billiard London Briar , some proprietary traditional blend of tobacco, nutty, but creamy rather than sweet.

I must add I could smoke Classic British blends in Classic British Briars, all day ( & night), but I enjoy the variety of world pipes and tobacco, as I used to enjoy some international travel in my younger days. But there is a time for smoking in all its varieties and a time for work & business in all its varieties . As the commercials used to say , " it is a Condor moment" or was it , " it is a Hamlet moment" , silence & a fine pipe & tobacco can not be beat. Enjoy gentlemen & ladies.

My big Bull mastiff Pop is more of a house dog in his old age, he prefers the cool indoors preferring my gentle tobacco to the pleasures of the yard. I used to walk him all around but he would want to fight and bark at the big " dragon " lorries and busses with their unnatural fumes, like a canine Don Quixote, , I prefer to walk him late at night in the dark , which he enjoys greatly in his senior years.
I have relaunched my little ship as a leisure craft now and have been planting some geraniums , lobelias & petunias, it pleases the birds & the bees ( and local ladies) more than the rust heap car junk fumers, hey pipers...
Better a mad peaceful piper in this crazy warring world, my other pets prefer quiet Muzak, in their little cages, but each to his own...I will start fiddling next, Adieu mes Amis, as the lovely Nana Mouskouri sang, for now..

I've always liked Bullmastiffs, Stan. How old is yours? We have a local breed called "Boerboel" that can sometimes look very much similar.
