Whoa nice!

I kept pinching myself with the cutter I had.

That tobacco looks like Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Nice one! Cigar cutter acquisition disorder, while mild, still exists .

My local Speedway has General Snus. One of the Tinder Boxes has Jakobson. Each company has a where to find it local on their website.

Yeah, we have people who sell it here, but they don’t do bulk discounts.

Thanks you two! It's the first pipe I've had with a v-shaped bowl and it's smoking Escudo like it was born to do it. I may dedicate this pipe to smoking straight Virginias and VaPers. Either my tastes are changing or my Escudo has in the last 6 months I've had it. I'm liking it more than usual. Maybe I'm maturing as a smoker, lol...

I think it’s both! I have discovered for myself that some Va’s and Burley seem much tastier in pipes dedicated to those blends.

I cut 3 of my pipes out of the herd for Va's and so far I haven't enjoyed them like I'm enjoying this bowl. This is my first pipe of the day though and normally I've already smoked a couple bowls of English or Balkan before smoking any Va's. Maybe that's the secret. Maybe my buds have been getting fried by the latakia. I'm still learning...

Thank you, sir.

I agree with you, Owen. I’ve got an LE pipe coming but this is the first pipe of his I’ve actually smoked and he’s definitely an artist.

Some blends from HU Tobacco arrived:
Indaba, Nyala, and Makhuwa.

7 oz McClelland 2010 Classic Virginia from a local Tinder Box that does not have much of pipe scene. The guy looked at me funny when he asked how much and I said all of it.

They had some 2040 and 2045 I could go back and buy.

I have definitely noticed that sometimes after a certain meal certain cigars are extra tasty.

I would guess they are stronger tobaccos?

There may be something to that. I love my Latakia, but I generally do not smoke English or Balkan blends on the same days that I smoke Virginias or VaBurs.

A clay, two stems, and some homemade Krumble Kake from @Mike H . Thanks a lot, Mike. Can I ask what the components of the KK are?

Thanks. I think I will be trying some tomorrow. It will be nice having a clay again. This is the perfect pipe to keep at work- probably a 10 or 15 minute smoke. I really appreciate it.
