Finishing last night's Colonial Pastime, with my morning coffee...I hate when life gets in the way of a good smoke, but sometimes you just got to deal with it. Colonial Pastime is a good D.G.T. blend ,so no loss.

I usually get up around 04:00 but as I'm on Atlantic Time it's the equivalent of 2:30 Eastern Time. |

I'm finding the Warped Cloud Hopper to have a very advanced and nuanced flavor profile the more that I smoke the blend, and it just gets better as a great cigar does the farther down the bowl you get. Towards the bottom it exhibits a sour Turkish musty flavor back and forth with the red and bright VA even though there is no Turkish in the blend, just Dominican Criollo, red and bright, a smidge of Italian dark fired, and perique. You start to get pure notes of cedar/dogwood burning, leather, old books, damp cardboard, toasted sawdust, sour Turkish/Oriental, the VAs, and the perique seems to add ranging pepper and spice nuances of a wild degree along with the cigar leaf and other components. This blend is much like Triple Play or Jack Knife Plug with an added element of Dominican Criollo in many ways. Strong, discerning profile that showcases how really good blended pipe tobacco doesn't need any casing.
This is what a fantastic pipe tobacco should be in terms of my stronger, natural tobacco profile preferences and scores a 10/10 in my book. A rare occurrence. This is for those like myself who love Haunted Bookshop, GLP JKP or Triple Play, strong plug tobaccos and stronger cigar blends. Those that love a tobacco that has no casings and can tolerate darker tobacco flavor profiles and a nicotine strength a bit north of medium.

Getting ready to smoke some of the recent re-release run of Mac Baren's Royal Twist in my RDP strawberry briar blasted bulldog with midnight blue ebonite stem and redwood burl inlay. The cousin to Pepe'sdad's RDP up there.

Yup, was just thinking...that looks like a Ron pipe...and sure enough it is. Ron's bulldogs are epic and will be recognized through out pipe-mankind. G&H Bob's Chocolate Flake in a small Rhodesian made by Ron just for me..possibly the best smoking pipe I own. I really love this pipe because it is small and a perfect smoker of anything tobacco.  |

He makes great pipes, that's for sure. I really like the looks of that one you've got there, Walt. I like chubby buttons on my stems.

After alternating between Haunted Bookshop and Bayou Morning all day, I'm having some Watch City Slices in a Dr. Grabow Silver Duke Pot. Relaxing on the front porch with a beer.

Having some more C&D Haunted Bookshop in a MM Morgan cob. After five bowls now, I think is is probably a repurchase, although more of an occasional smoke. I really enjoy the aftertaste of this blend.

I'm digging the Haunted Bookshop conversions. It's also my favorite tobacco. Don't worry about C&D running out, it's their #1 selling pipe tobacco.

I'm sure C&D uses bulldozers and backhoes when they blend batches of HB.  |
