Puffing Dunhill DLNR. And yes, my tin is marked DE LUXE NAVY ROLLS, rather than just NAVY ROLLS, as appears on newer tins. This stuff is indeed nobel tobacco.

A bowl of AJ's Vaper from 2015 in a Savinelli Roma 626.
Delicious. Smooth, sweet, peppery; with a great mouthfeel.

I'm having a bowl of C&D Poplar Camp in a Yello-bole billiard with a Bing Crosby length stem. The stem is a little loose and I'm hoping that smoking it some will tighten it up somewhat.

A-B-ing two vapers: Dunhill DLNR and Wessex Classic Virginia. The DLNR is nobel, but the Wessex is holding its own.
What a fantastic picture! Could try a little beeswax on the tenon. That usually helps a lot with mine. smoking it will tighten it up also.Quote:

Thanks, I started to clear off a place on my desk and left the cords there to hold the pipe up. Thanks for the beeswax tip; I put some on before smoking and it helped some. The stem fit has tightened up considerably after smoking it. The heat and moisture swells the briar wood a little bit and makes the fitting tighter. I don't know when this pipe was smoked last; I got it on Ebay. The stem was so loose that the bowl would fall off if you tipped it just so.Quote:

I need to smoke a few more bowls before I can give a fair review of the tobacco.
Just opened my second tin of Solani 779, English Luxury Mixture. This stuff is pretty darned good.
Geeze, that reminds me of my nose warmer. Rustication looks so familiar......Now if I can just find it.....Quote:

Still, either one offers hours of smoking enjoyment in this big-arse pipe.
Gonna have to see it!Quote:

Smoking a bowl of a complete mystery blend from P&C.
I ordered 1# of G&H, Sweet Rum Twist...
I received 3 oz of some fruity smelling aromatic flake
I assume this substance is tobacco... because I haven't gotten sick or died... and because, while smoking it, I still retain the same jaded, pessimistic outlook on life in general... that and nothing unusual seems funny... I wish I knew what it was but I know what it ain't; and it ain't SRT. Even so, for an aromatic, it's really pretty good. I've sent them 2 emails about it but thus far they're ignoring me.
I found two old flakes of Stonehaven tucked in my remnants box!
They even have crystallization streaks on them!
I shoved those suckers in a 1960s Barling and am smoking the crap out of it!
A-B-ing these two vapers again: Dunhill DLNR vs. Wessex Classic Virginia. The Wessex is so good that I'm thinking that I won't order any more DLNR. The Wessex is less expensive, and mostly rubbed out, so a bit more convenient for me too. But a final decision isn't imminent -- I have about three years worth of DLNR on hand.
Last night I smoked a bowl of my navy flake scraps in a Willard pot.
Hearth & Home Chestnut in a Willard small billiard
I was smoking a little R.O. Firestorm this morning after breakfast, and my niece (who is visiting today) walked up and said, "Eww, that smells like bacon!" I said, "Hmm, I guess I can see that."
She walked off, and I enjoyed the quiet.
Wait... 'eww, Bacon'?!? This does not compute!Quote:

That's curious that she would say it smelled like bacon. How old is she? Maybe she associates the smell of smoke with cooking bacon on a campfire? Did you smell it too?Quote:

Puffing Dunhill DLNR in my venerable aluminum stem Kirsten Mariner. Despite my previous comment about not buying any more, DLNR is very fine stuff. Savory.

Hey David, what do you think about that White Knight? I've got a tin of it but have never tried it.Quote:

I went home that evening, and went to survey the issue and it wasn't that bad. I guess if you're looking up, it may be worse......Quote:

I'm glad you need to see me, but I need to see you guys just as much. Also, I've been very busy with a lot of things, and cut down on the number of forums I have been on, and cut down on my posts on the ones I have stayed on, even PSF. I admit it is heart warming to be missed.Quote:

Welcome back Jim! It is great to see you come back. What do you think about blends with deer tongue in general?Quote:

I wish I had tried Henie's Blend when it had deer tongue, but I never even saw that blend until recent years.
