Smoked a couple of bowls this morning of Sir Walter Raleigh in my Savinelli billiard before heading back to the office this morning. Except for the overcast and spot drizzle, the weather is a little warmer then yesterday and quite pleasant.
@ocpunk714 The flight options are so limited these days. It was either I take a red eye or get up (again) at the wee hours of the morning Saturday to lose my entire day flying home. Doing it this way gets me home around 10 am Saturday. I'm bringing a pipe with me and will spend part of both afternoons and evenings chilling out at a cigar lounge, so it's not all bad.
Beautiful day here in NC today. Smokin my favorite, Savinelli Piazza Di Spanga with some Orlik Golden Sliced. Hanging with my Beagle, Vinny at the park.
FINALLY had some time to sit down and enjoy a BIG bowl of Country Squire's Second Breakfast, courtesy of @ocpunk714 in my Rossi 8320EX....this bowl is HUGE... haha
@Londy3, Sir Walter Raleigh Regularis a cross-cut tobacco made with rich but
mellow Kentucky Burley. It's an old codger OTC tobacco that's been around since 1927, was originally marketed as both cigarette and pipe tobacco back in it's day like Prince Albert, Velvet, and similar tobaccos.
It is an all-day type of
blend with a pleasant aroma and good solid tobacco flavor. It was originally made byBrown & Williamson, but now it isblended By the Scandinavian Tobacco Group and has been produced by Lane Ltd. for a long time.
I'm currently smoking the Scandinavian Tobacco version which I let dry out for a day or so before I smoke it as it is to moist out of the can for me. I have smoked the Brown & Williamson blend which is no long in production, but occasionally available through pipestud.com, and that to me is absolutely fantastic. I have one more sealed can of this left and the cancellation date on the tax stamp is 1947.
I also smoked the Aromatic which is also a Burley tobacco but shag cut and that to me has more of a nutty and chocolate flavor with a very pleasant aroma and and is also a great all day smoking tobacco. Very pleasant room note that is pleasing to people in passing and very positive complements as well. Both the regular and the aromatic are slow burning and a bowl can last anywhere between an hour or two, depending on how you smoke. Available in both 14-oz cans and 1.5-oz pouches from Pipes&cigars.com, Smokingpipes.com, and CupO'Joes.com.
Like Prince Albert, Sir Walter Raleigh pipe tobacco was a tobacco I grew up with, was once very popular, and is also sentimental for me as well as a pleasant and relaxing smoke. For me, it's a travel back into time, when the men in my neighborhood gathered in the summer evenings after a long day's work and reminisced about "their good ole days" and talked about their experiences in the "big war" (WWI) and the one that came after (WWII).
That's about it in a nutshell. Hope this is help full.
Frog Morton on the Bayou in my Morgan Bones. And yes that's a Frosty coffee cup. My favorite super Dad cup is in the sink. So this is my second favorite.
