Nothing really screaming for more...
I enjoyed the Latakia Junction, but I think either this pipe doesn't lend itself well to English, or I'm getting burnt out on Latakia. It has handled the aros quite well I must say.
Thanks kelvin that was interesting having some latakia junction now in the same meer while watching better call Saul
Not sure, picked it up on fleabay for $50 and it came with a handful of homemade tampers!

Day 7 of #MeerschaumMarchMadness
in the I. Baglan carved Turkish meer
Today with "Black Pearl", another new to me blend in my month of many samples.
Still not sure who this group of samples came from, and I feel terrible about that. Speak up if it was you!
The grain on that pipe is gorgeous!! A mini review of the baccy would be greatly appreciated as well if you have time.Spc deception pass in a Briar Spirit
SPC Plum Pudding in the Golden Gate poker. This pipe has turned out to be a real sweet smoker. Well worth the $50 I paid for it on Amazon
holy hell that is a beautiful pipe.
I'll try, don't do reviews all that well. Has a little bit of a vinegary tin note like McC Virginias. You get the sweetness from the va and spice from the perique. Both seem to be kept in check by the Turkish orientals. Nice ribbon cut that was easy to load and easy to burn. Had no dry time, loaded straight from the tin. As a english/balkan smoker I quite liked it for a change of pace. I would get some more tins for sure and see what some age does for it. As other spc blends, it's high quality.
Noted! Sounds like a good review to me!! Thank you much brother.

pretty sure we have the EXACT same briar, buddy, and it is a CHAMP for what i originally thought was a cheap eastern european burner. glad yours is treating you well also, and DAMN good choice on the plum pudding. o)
Thanks buddy! It was the first briar I bought after my Dr G that came in the starter kit I first got. It took me some time to get it broken in being a noob and doing things all wrong, but now it's very forgiving and the English blends just sing in it. MS River and Plum Pudding are almost all I smoke in it, lol
Some moztek strang in a cob after some serious dry time
Still has a tendency to bite but smokes really well, had maybe an hour and a half of drying

Closing out the night with some 5oclock shadow with thanks to dismal, this has a nice nicotine kick
A friend and fellow piper visited me last night. I had a bowl of DNR in my meer and tried some Erin Go Bragh Irish Whiskey baccy that he received in the P&C IPSD grab box. The EGB was a surprise having both a very pleasant whiskey taste and room note. This morning I'm having a bowl of Larry's Blend in a Hilson Bolero.
