Scottish weather be damned. EMP in the Chacom.  The Scots invented a remedy for the weather. It's called Scotch. I recommend Laphroaig. 😁🤠🥃 Indeed they did! I'm out of Laphroaig, but I have some Aberlour A'bunadh to go with my evening bowl of nightcap here in a few hours. I'll pour a bit extra for you! |

Just opened some jarred Paul's Pipe Shop Arrowhead from 2016. With a great WHOOSH!, I'm met with the mouth watering smell of some form of cosmopolitan ice cream. I traded away half a pound of this stuff for Haunted Bookshop back then because I'm not fond of the heavily cased black cavendish blends, but kept about 4 ounces or so of this jarred away at John Lawitzke's suggestion that it actually aged well, and tasted/smelled like an ice cream. The flavor would fall flat for me after a few minutes of a bowl and so I've not smoked it since. Here we are with 5 years of age on the puppy, and it's going into an MM Great Dane bent egg. It's one of those gooped "never dries" blends, and so it's sitting out for an hour before I light it.

Wasn't impressed with it when I bought it in the spring. We'll see what a little time does for it. Let me know how you like it with some age. |

@pete - I'm about at the bottom of a very slowly sipped bowl now, and I can't say that it's "aged" any under the topping, but I can appreciate it as a different vanilla aro that contains a tiny smidge of latakia and perique. It's not going to be a regular smoke for me but I still think it's worth having as a change of pace dessert smoke. But will it change for you in the jar in a year or three? No.

Thanks, Zach. Sounds like it'll still be a miss for me. That's how it goes, sometimes.

September 14th.
Hope everyone is well and enjoying a favorite pipe at the time of reading this post.
As my posting has slowed, more bowls go unremarked.
Cobblestone....king and bishop from the chess series.. very good. pete spigot "newgrange" petite pete (special series barrel army mount)
Vauen Enzian.
next has been c&d mississippi mud, very good burley based blend. my love/less love relationship with burley is helped a bit with this blend. same rack of pipes with a few bowls in the Enzian.
last of my open oriental silk in the savinelli non Pariel..i keep that pipe just for orientals.
and as a result of moving to a larger place I now have a large area for storing and sorting my tins so I decided to open a reused "paint can" tin I been storing some lancers slices in for about six months. and what a treat!.. currently having it in the savinelli 515 rusticated panel billiard.
The repack into the can with some time to sit has turned the flakes somewhat tarry/dry.. crush and poke with a few relights and it has such a lovely flavor..going to have to keep some just for aging now that I see the change it goes through.. burning slow and cool with tons of flavorful smoke ) thankfully I have almost 4oz stuffed in the tin!).
I am nearing the end of some tins so new blends are next. I still have a few to get into for the first time so I am looking forward to that
Did manage to snag both a pound bag and a 2oz tin of more oriental silk this week.
It is nice to be able to buy the pound bags and 8oz cans of my favorite blends as getting enough 2oz tins is a chore.
anyhoo, time to give the lancers slices a pack and a relight!

And now, I'm about to get real weird with it.
I've got a mixture that is a few finger pinch of C&D Morley's Best, a slightly smaller pinch of 2010 Orlik Golden Sliced, about half GH Dark Plug, and the rest is Paul's Pipe Shop Arrowhead mixture. Smells of a "better" version of Arrowhead. The vanilla topping is there but so are the hints of dark plug and Morley's burley and latakia. It's getting chiefed down in an MM Freehand with vulcanite stem. Gotta finish up all the leftovers, what better than a screwball kitchen sink blend? And I've let it all marinade for a couple hours.

Finished with the yard work shortly before it started to rain. Shower was brief, but I managed to stay dry. Enjoying a well-earned beer with a bowl of Three Friars in the Tuesday cob.

That mix was really good. Tasted of dark plug, a tiny latakia, and a tiny consistent backbone of the Arrowhead vanilla.
