Trial and (mostly) error

Over the counter trip continues - today I got a pouch of St. Bruno. Totally different smoke than Gold Block or that flavoured stuff imho.

Smoked much cooler despite packing it up without allowing any time to dry out and was much easier to keep lit. The only thing that got me thinking was that vinegar-like smell from the pack, but flavour is ok. I can't really say what it tastes like , but it was nice and fresh enough to enjoy the bowl, with good smoke output and no harshness whatsoever. Only thing I've noticed, it got much hotter near the end, but it was my fault as I puffed more often.

So far the best one from those three I had. Looking forward to try more

Gentlemen, let me show you my new pipe - John Brumfit Billiard. Just bought in one of local shops, getting ready to be fired up for first time

Thanks gents.

It does indeed. Smoke was very dry and cool compared to my previous pipe.

Picked two new tobaccos today. First one is loose Vanilla and the second one is this



OMG, what a smoke! Nice and cool and very aromatic yet delicate. Was dryish in the tin, so no more waiting for long time to allow it to lose moisture.. Loaded first bowl and I've found my favourite .
