Smoked a bowl of McClelland's Dominican Glory Maduro in my Kaywoodie Saxon. My roomate smoked the same in my MM Great Dane Cob. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to put the Cob in my pocket and I broke the stem :(. Working on finding another.

Sold out in about 12 hours...lol!

"Balanced, poised and sophisticated. Cyprus Latakia is layered with fine Virginia tobaccos and small leaf orientals, then pressed, sliced, and tumbled into ribbons. More savory than sweet, with classic structure, medium body, and captivation complexity. Meridian is the perfect companion for a mid-day stroll, or with the afternoon tea."

Lol From what I can see some pipe tobaccos fly off the shelves in a ridiculous amount of time!

Ya I think that's got more to do with the maker than the blend.

True. I'll just have to wait until all the hype/ curiosity dies down.

Tried my first bowl of Vanilla Creme Flake this morning. As expected the room note was amazing, maybe a little too sweet for me though.

I may try blending a little with some straight virginia. If I can cut down on the sweetness and retain the room note I may have a winner.

Some lite drizzeling rain coming down earlier this morning, and enjoyed a bowlful of C&D Habana Daydream:pi

Yah it is pretty good stuff. I definitely want to load my cellar full of this stuff. But I have an order of bulk coming in thats about 4 pounds of stuff, so Union Square might have to wait until tax time...lol

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
it is good stuff.


been going through a tin of Escudo from '05 on this exercise. (for some reason i wrote '07, but the date shows '05).

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 
Smoked a little of a blend called "Unique from a local shop" I pretty damn sure it's Lane's 1-Q either way tastes decent for an aromatic.

Has anyone compared 1Q to Butternut Burely? Are they similar at all?

Still going through various sampe bags from various online stores. Ebony from Tobacco Barn was good. So far have not liked too much of the Pipes and Cigars stuff, tho.

I've been enjoying that baccy, from a sample, I got from a brother here...where's it been in all my pipe smoking journey? I'm gonna have to order a couple of tins of this.:)

Totally different.

Have you tried either yet?

Union Square and Laurel Heights last night. Had some trouble with the Union Sq. last night. But this is usually how it is for me when I try to smoke flakes just stuffed into my pipe. Didn't let it dry out enough and didnt load the pipe well enough. Oh well still tasted good. Laurel Heights keeps getting better and better each night. I read a good article from G.L.Pease about first impressions of tobacco ( http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/put-th...t-impressions/ ) and I've been smoking the same blend in the same pipe each time.

I've had the Butternut Burley. I really liked it. Never had 1Q.

So I got 2oz of Sugar Barrel and had a bowl of it to and from the bank today. It bit me. and it tasted like plastic and air. I'm hoping drying it out will help.

Heard a lot of good things about Sugar Barrel hopefully it doesnt suck for you. As for the 1Q, it's one of the better aro's out IMMO.

I'm planning on probably using it to mix with other tobaccos, Tambolaka for instance.

Try tossing it in a Heavy Perique blend. I've done this a few times with some good results. Granted I'm not a huge burley fan. McClellands #2015 is decent for this.

I want to find more burley blends, because I feel like I would enjoy them (I know Univ. Flake is a VaBur with a slight berry topping, and I really like that, as well as Butternut Burley).

Give Erinmore Flake a shot. It's a Va/Burley with some kind of topping. Has a floral note but is rather enjoyable. Also theres Orlik Golden Sliced. Its more of a sweeter VA with burley but it's not bad either. The only other Bur/VA blend that I have had an enjoyed was Kingfisher, but it's been rather hard to find online recently. I've got a tin of Exhausted Rooster and Burley Flake #3 still sealed in the tin I've been thinking about opening...Cumberland from G.L.Pease gets a ton of rave reviews too.

I have Erinmore, 1Q, and Orlik on hand and open if you wanna set up a trade. Unni flake is on my want to try list. Shoot me a PM if ya wanna set up a trade.
