C&D 517F Virginia Flake in a 1980 Stanwell 668 medium bend with a ferrule, half black sandblasted, half brown smooth, rough top.
Larry's Blend in a Malaga Second. Horrible picture of the pipe but you can see the Ambassador Bridge in the background if you look close.
Y'all won't hear from me for a few days as I'm headed up north to go trail riding in the morning. Many a bowl will be smoked while I'm camping in the woods.

@NeverBend . I survived smoking Mixture #79. I've had worse, but I doubt I will finish this gifted pouch.

As far as calling Mixture #79 a gift... :)
Had about 1/3 of a flake of Luxury Navy Flake and about 1/3 of a flake of Orlik Golden Sliced so I rubbed them out and mixed them together.
Smoked them in a no-name briar and enjoyed it very much.
Sorry. Screwed up this post. Must have been the effects of Mixture #79.
You know I'll write a review. Want to smoke another bowl first, though God only knows why I would. I have no idea what rating to give it on TR.Quote:

Jim, I have never seen you throw a tobacco away before. M79 must be some awful stuff because I have seen you bravely slog through some tobaccos I would never put in my pipe. You may not like them, but "waste not, want not", and all that rot.Quote:

That will make it hard to rate since I like to write objective reviews, not ones that fit my preferences. I won't throw away what I don't smoke. I'll give it to some body at some point. I've done that many times with stuff I didn't like.Quote:

I found M79 completely appalling. Didn't make it through more than 3 or 4 smokes of the stuff. Just terrible.Quote:
