I really like it so far, I can put a lighter, tamper, cleaners and a tin in the big pouch. For the price they are well made and very functional.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
What's in your bowl today

I smoked too much yesterday and didn't drink enough. My tongue is toasty and rough this morning. Plus, several bowls of English blends have left my mouth funky.
I think I'll just do half a bowl of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic in my Ozark. While I'm doing that I'll stare at some Nording pipes and drool.

Nice.
Tried some Esoteric And So To Bed tonight. I like it. The reviews on TR weren't exceptionally informative. Every other person claimed it to be an aro and the other half of reviews seemed to dispute that claim. All I know is that I like it. Still learning what the different tobaccos lend to a blend, but i think I was "getting" the oriental in this blend.

Took me only one bowl. . All the flavor of great dark English flakes, but none of the strength

The elusive... How was it?Walking the boys with my first bowl of Penzance.
Elusive? As in this is hard to find? Hmmm.
I liked it. I have the sense, as a new pipe smoker, that there is a lot more to learn as far as tasting than with cigars. So i always kind of feel like I'm just on the verge of "getting it," so to speak. With each smoke I feel like I'm getting a little closer, and enjoying each one a little more than the last. But there is still a sense that I'm missing the point to some extent. This blend, for me right now, had a heavy amount of missing the point, but not in an unenjoyable sense…more of an anticipation—a promise on the horizon. So while I enjoyed it, this blend more fully characterized, for my uneducated palate, a feeling of pipe smoking being akin to trying to smoke incense. I'm going to save the last of this little sample to smoke after all the other little samples I have are gone. See what I make of it then.
