Yeah, I am still learning that. Still trying to figure out taste profiles of different tobaccos yet. Fun learning, but I have ounces of tobaccos I will probably not get to because they just don't do anything for me. I bought 2 ounces of them to try and like 4-6 different blends. Some are ok, some do 0 for me.

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

You might find that your taste change over time. What doesn't do it for you now might be really good with some age in it later.
I put together a custom blend on P&C (but haven't ordered it yet) that has both maple, Latakia, and a couple of others. We'll see...
I tinkered for a while but quit after I ran out of the vmc
I think my best was the vmc, maple twist with about 10-20% pirate kake I didn't have straight blending latakia
Well I'll say it sounds tasty given the weather......
Another bowl of Three Nuns. This time in a massive Mastro Beraldi bent Dublin. It's a beautiful pipe with flame grain and a ton of birdseye on the wide rim, but there's a spot about halfway down the side of the bowl that gets hot very quickly. All I can think of is that there's a large fill on the inside of the bowl that I can't see. The pipe came new with a carbon coating in the bowl, so I couldn't see any imperfections there, and the outside is flawless. Never had a pipe with this problem before.
But it just heats up in one spot?
Maybe one of our resident pipe makers can comment, yhats very odd and I have never experienced that either

I would think has to be a fill or flaw in the briar
How was the brunello, I have an unopened tin and am curious to your opinion as at one time I heard rumors this was produced by macbaren and I know how you feel about them
And I like this picture much better

It's really good. Perfect moisture to smoke right outta the tin. Got a cold so can't taste a lot. Getting sweet note, grassy notes and something like a chocolate every once in a while. Similar to the chocolate notes in burley.
No bite at all btw
Good to hear as I also have an unopened tin. It was a freeby from BnB when I bought my Savinelli Alligator.
