Samuel Gawith - Black XX Rope

MUCH smoother than I expected, I enjoyed it a lot!

Not a rope smoker, so I had ZERO luck keeping it lit, but it was still tasty!

Hmmm.. I'm guessing you like this tobacco, huh Greg? :tu

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

it's not too bad. a shame it was never officially made/released.
i found, what i believe to be, an internal factory sample tin of a blend that they never released. a curly cut Va/Per... the 100g tin was plain, but had an old rectangular sticker on the lid with the A&C Petersen crest, blend name and tinning date. wasn't something that could be sold anywhere, and they curlies were definitely smaller than Escudo... they were the same size as Three Nuns or something like that. different flavor from escudo as well, this was way more tangy, not nearly as much perique.
i waited for months on that tin on ebay. the guy was selling a large amount of tobacco for an older collector but everything was "buy it now" for insane amounts. finally, after months of nobody buying the 50+ tins the guy had up for auction, he took off the "buy it now" and made 'em real auctions. i nabbed it for $13 (instead of the $50+ he'd been asking). 100g tin from '97... only called "Curly Cut". i was sold. :dr

Just finished my first bowl of Maltese Falcon, GLP wasn't lying when he described it as velvety, it was very nice. I smoked it in a RQ sandblasted author

Did you rub it out? At least a couple coins to get it going?

I like a cigar cutter - like a Zino - to make nice coins of the rope to rub.

Some C&D Plantation evening in my vonErck.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

i hear cigar scissors work great as well. i have a cheap pair, so i haven't used them yet. i've used my palio to cut 'em, but after a while, if i do a lot of coins at once, it can gum up pretty quick and starts to give me cramps in my hands.

Re: Whats in your bowl?
 

at work today, half a bowl of 1980's Dunhill Three Year Matured (with 20+ yrs more maturity).

gonna smoke the rest of the drive home, hopefully the DGT will make it not be a sucky 20+ yr old smoke.
bah, who am i foolin', this blend blows, even if it's nearly 30 yrs old.
