Sutliff Match Walnut in my MM Eaton cob with delicious coffee this morning for Walnut Wednesday. I recently bought a bunch of Sutliff Match tobacco samples, I thought this was an Aro, but I'm pleasantly surprised, nice morning smoke. I hear burley and coffee is a great pairing.

Best Brown flake with some berry flavor and (yuk) vanilla. Except for the vanilla I liked it. I would let it dry out a bit before trying to get it lit. I had best luck with a cube cut.
SG Kendal Creme from @NorCalR1 in a trusty cob. Nice. Yesterday my wife walked into the house and said 'something smells nice', 'twas the flake, sealed in its baggie.

Yes, I like to try new blends in a cob. I just wish I had an Old Boy lighter to fire them up with.
I have to say, I'm loving my new Old Boy lighter. Didn't think I'd appreciate it this much.
Is this helping?

I love mine, too. Got the black version and it is now brassing on the edges. Been trustworthy for the last 15 years, $7.50 a year is a bargain for a good lighter. "Hope that helps".

Breaking in my new Norm Triptow small pipe with ebonite half saddle stem with some new Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake and more coffee. The picture doesn't do this one justice.

It is small, I cut the flake in like four small pieces before drying and loading the pipe. I can probably get away with cutting a flake in three pieces once I've broken this in; I didn't want to fill it all the way to the brim.
I think it will work great for flake which takes a long time to smoke, unlike ribbon cut tobacco which would probably be a short smoke in this pipe.

Love that pipe porn, @Stubble. I do not need an old boy lighter. I do not need an old boy lighter...

SG Grousemoor in a cob. Can't say I'll be reaching for this tobacco much...
glad you used your cob ^
We need to be able to click multiple buttons! Agree, vote up, and lol....
Yes, I like to try new blends in a cob.
that blend is made up of 3 parts ghost to 1 part tobacco, not as overpowering as RB Plug, but close.
Firedance is next on the SG list. Any thoughts on it?

I’ve been resisting a lighter purchase as well...
Fire Dance wasn’t bad but wasn’t great either IMO. I will revisit at some point. Glad you enjoyed the KC Flake Edward

either that is a really small pipe or one giant cup of coffee.
It is small, I cut the flake in like four small pieces before drying and loading the pipe. I can probably get away with cutting a flake in three pieces once I've broken this in; I didn't want to fill it all the way to the brim.
