I think I'm calling it at two roasts today, just finished the Ethiopia Dry Process Aba Mecha, smoking KBV Embry's Banana Bread in my Bones Natural lightning finish pipe.

Interesting looking Pipe. Is the texture as rough as it looks?

Capstan Gold Flake that's been intentionally left on the dashboard of my car since Jan 1st as a stoving experiment in my Kriswill Bernadotte chimney. The lid was loose when I opened it just now and the flake a bit on the dry side but it's very tasty. I can't say it improved over regular Capstan Gold Flake, but it tastes good to me.

4th Generation 1989 Flake, Max Erik's Blend in my Radice Rind candlewax lovat. The tin note of the flake was deep and sweet, possibly fruity and the flavor of this pure Virginia blend has plenty of sweetness. I recommend this blend especially at it's (introductory?) low price. Smoked ROTT

K&K Caribbean Blue Wynne: "a heady blend of Virginias, Dark-Fired Kentucky, and Black Cavendish, in a slow-burning rough cut topped with honey, vanilla, and goji berry."
Tin note is sweet, in the pipe it's a milder smoke. I wanted to try this one first because of the DFK, the toppings do look like the mildest set of the three blends I picked up to try.

Caribbean Blue Bellamy: Virginias, Burley, and Black Cavendish with extracts of honeydew, banana, and orange in the same setup. Fruitier in the pipe with a bit of a funk taste that could be the banana.

Grabbed the 2020 Savinelli Brunello Flake from the dashboard where it's been "stoving" all month (but not always in full sun) to smoke in my Briarworks Bullmoose pipe. The flake looks dark but I don't have a control tin to compare to except some online photos. Tasting pretty good.

Are you purchasing them from him on PSD? I’ve been trying to track down where to buy from Norm.
Yes. When I get home I should be able to locate his contact info and send it to you.
@Stubble thank you! I joined there earlier today so I could see the for sale post. His stuff seems to sell instantly!
They do sell rather quick. You can message him on the PSD forum, he will do commissions.
This is my last purchase from him.
That’s a good looking pipe. Very similar to the style I used to prefer. Granted they were all cheap eBay pipes.

It's unfinished, but not all that rough, but I wouldn't call it smooth. They used high voltage to do the lightning finish.
Smoking Timeless from @Stubble in a Norm Triptow pipe, TYVM Steve, I like this blend.

A bowl of K&K Caribbean Blue Bellamy again in my MM Cobbit Shire pipe to enjoy the fruit flavors on this nice summer day.

I can't tell if Seth is doing a deep dive or if he's skydiving into the hobby.
Enjoying some Deep Hollow in my deepest Norm Triptow pipe, the "Lava Lamp" cob mod, with coffee this morning after a breakfast of sausage and waffles.
Well, I did just order a pound of tobacco from the country squire if that helps you decide. Haha. Been pipe shopping all weekend.
Remember to deploy the chute before you bottom out, Seth.
I’ve always been clumsy, so I wouldn’t count on a graceful landing. Lol.
