Blend: #16
Pipe: Comoy's bent bulldog
Packing method: Codger stuff/air pocket
Appearance: Ribbon cut with a lot of finer particles. Looks to be an equal mix of yellow, medium brown and dark brown/black tobacco.
Pouch Note: I get the impression of an English blend, with a note of Latakia.

Just right degree of dryness, took a light easily, and made a good first impression. A light-medium English blend, not a Lat-bomb. I've never been a good one to judge nic-strength of pipe tobaccos, as I also sometimes smoke strong cigars and use snuff tobacco made from Rustica. But I'd say this had a fair nic-hit.

This stayed lit from the get-go, until I set it down to write the first paragraph. The general feeling at the halfway point is that this is a good quality English blend, easy on the Lat and perhaps comparable to Squadron Leader. The pipe I chose to smoke this in plays well with English blends, so the experience has been good thus far.

Relit and smoked it down to the bottom. No big changes to the flavor. Usual ash with some dottle. Conclusion: I like this enough to enjoy finishing off the rest of the baggie. If it grows on me, I may get more once I know what it is.
