This Week's Mail Bombs.

6oz. of Comoy's No. 7
2oz. Ken Byron Burlier Morning Pipe

Got these samples in the mail today:

Ken Byron Ventures Re-Animated English

Ken Byron Ventures Burlier Morning Pipe

Ken Byron Ventures King’s Ransom

Ken Byron Ventures The English Fragrant

Ken Byron Ventures Turkey & Dressing

2002 Murray's production of Dunhill Durbar

I've got these:
Ken Byron Ventures Burley Morning Pipe
Ken Byron Ventures Turkey & Dressing
Ken Byron Ventures Burlier Morning Pipe
Ken Byron Ventures Spaghetti Western 2 (3rd bag)

Apparently the Burley Morning Pipe from the show was a 50/50 mix of Burley and Burlier Morning Pipe, which I did not get to try, since I wasn't there. I'll be interested in trying all three "morning Pipes" now.

If there was an unlimited supply of BMP in any incarnation, I'd stock up. I'm going to try Burlier MP later. I expect it'll be good.

Uh oh. Is it going to displace Deluxe Crumb Cut for my top position? That would be sad.

No, I think you're safe. But it is worth the money. The Burlier version is not as sweet or as smooth, and packs a little punch, but it is tasty.

tin of Royal Yacht (never had it)
2 oz. ODF RR, since I like it once in a while
2 Pouches of Five Brothers

So far...

An 8 oz bag of Eso ASTB

I'm working on a cart just so I can pick up some Royal Yacht. Who knows what else will make it's way to my door.

I traded a private art commission for a straight 1968 Dunhill Tanshell octagonal paneled EK F/T billiard with a square shank and tapered black vulcanite stem.

Got some Erinmore Mixture and Plum Pudding SR en route

4oz. Watch City's "Spill'sbane- An Ozark Wizard Joint" (Christmas Blend 2019)

A very strange order from TP. I had a cart made up elsewhere, but hearing McWiggins talk about Mocha Strips had me wanting to try it. No one had it, except TP.

A pouch of Carter Hall (finally)

Dan Tobacco Tordenskjold Virginia Slices Pipe Tobacco - 50g

H&H Louisiana Red. Just 2 oz for current rotation. I have plenty stashed away in the cellar.

PS Cube Cut. 2oz, never had it, gotta try it.

Peterson Royal Yacht

SWRA. A staple in my smoking

Stanwell Melange. My first pipe tobacco ever, thanks to PC screwing up my very first order. I thanked them for this one.

And then the Mocha Strips. 2 oz for tasting and I have a few ideas I want to try

I sure do love the Mocha Strips.

A recent find with them I quite like, lakeland! I have two pipes I smoke lakeland blends in. Mocha Strips in a pipe ghosted with lakeland is oh so good.

The PS Cube Cut is good stuff too, once lit. When it gets going and with good tamping it smokes just fine.

I believe it's the same thing they make Voodoo Queen with, which is one of my top 3 favorites. I've looked at it a few times, but never bothered to buy any. Once my package shows up, itll be the first thing I open.

I have 2 lakeland ghosted pipes, I like smoking heavy Lat blends in them. It's a strange, but good, flavor

4oz Spillsbane
4oz Simply Red
4oz Old Dominion
4oz Crumb Cut
4oz R&B

I love Watch City. Although I've spent my tobacco allowance already this month, I couldnt pass up a bit more Simply Red and R&B. It would normally be a pound of each, but with DCC being talked about and spillsbane being available, I had to pick some of those up. Ozark Wizard has a way with tobacco just like Ernie does. I'm sure it's going to be a phenomenal blend that I wish I bought more of.

Just picked this up on eBay for $30 shipped. It's a "Times 06", made by Portland, supposedly a subsidiary of Barling. I know nothing about it, I just liked it. They said it's NOS from the 60s, so that's good.

Nice haul, Jim. Looks like you'll be having a very merry Christmas. I received 3 tins of Peterson Irish Flake in the mail today from P&C.

I bought some Irish flake a while back because I noticed you were smoking it. It's pretty tastey. It's like Stirling Flake, but not quit as strong in nicotine or the "smoked beef" flavor.

Sutliff: Cringle Flake 3x/1.5oz.
I now trust Sutliff thanks to JimInks, top tier blends.

I got two tins of the Cringle Flake, and one of the Button Nose for the heck.of it.

@JimInks turned me on to Sutliff blends... I was skeptical at first but now I'm sold... great stuff!

Im a big fan of Sutliff which is why im in for two tins of this Cringle Flake without knowing more than whats posted as its selling points.

But from Virginia Slices to Mocha Strips, to J4 to 515 RC-1 to Stoved Virginia to Sweet Virginia and more, Sutliff is my go to bulk tobacco.

Got a review tin of Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2019) and am working on a review.
