Best Of

After lunch I was feeling the desire for a pipe, in my mind I picked out my Ser Jacopo Dublin from an anonymouse doner and was thinking about which tobacco to try in it. I went upstairs to get more water and noticed I had a package from SmokingPipes, perfect, it's a trade with @ShawnOL when he offered to dispose of my Wilke Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter and Chocolate tobacco.

Sadly, when I opened the first tin I noticed a bit of mold on the tobacco. I'm arranging an exchange with SP and luckily when I opened the second tin there was no mold. The Gladora Pesse Canoe Oriental Flake from Turkey comes in a hinge tin that doesn't really seal, so transfer to jars or Mylar if you order, and they come a bit wet.

I dried the flakes in the sun for a few minutes and then lit up, the tobacco has a nice, mild dark fruit flavor, it's not goopy or harsh, and the flakes are on the thicker side; I think I'm going to enjoy this. Thanks Shawn!
