Lane CA is a Balkan blend with Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Perique, and Virginia. Almost every Balkan I’ve ever tried is better. That’s why I went all Aromatic/English on it. Mixed with the PC, it’s delightful.
@motie2 Tnx buddy. Sounds as if it's a pretty full-bodied blend. Personally I would probably have to marry some Cavendish to it to calm it down. But I think it would still be worth a try...
@RockyMountainBriar you and I have good taste. Love Eagle Rare. Except I don't shoot it. I sip it in a nice weighted whiskey glass like the pic below, with a good pipe of course.
I seem to be in a rut. As much variety as I have in my cellar, I just can't seem to stay away from the GLP Spark Plug. I've smoked it every day since I got it. Enjoyed a bowl on my way home from work. My Secret Santa has also turned me on the GLP Charing Cross. It's been my morning smoke. I'm hoping for some good sales for IPSD 2020. I think I better stock up on both blends!
@KA9FFJ I love the look of that tomato. It's normally not a shape I'm interested in, but that one is very nice.
Had the day off today, so I took the chance to get in a pre-dinner pipe of W.O. Larsen 1864 in my Stanwell billiard. The tobacco was a nice and mellow blend, just the kind of blend that is quintessentially "pipe aroma." Thanks @RockyMountainBriar for this wonderful sample!
Tnx @thebadgerpiper My first smoke yielded 40-45 min. with 2 relights! I was initially assuming 30 min. from that bowl, but I was pleasantly surprised...
Had to take my wife to the dermatologist today. After dropping her off, went to the local Tinder Box lounge (just a few blocks away) and did some Lane BCA in my vest pocket pipe...

So, please tell us a bit about the pipe?
Beautiful pipe; smoke it in good health.
That is a pretty interesting pipe, a calumet/cavalier hybrid?
I need to make a bowl like that for my Kirsten’s.
I don’t shoot any alcohol, just sip it straight up in small amounts, sometimes it’s on ice in a rocks glass, if I am not near the bottle 😬

Great, have you tried the "Signature" yet? Personally I like it a bit more.
Drinking a bottle of Killian's Irish Red ale
Currently smoking C&D's Old Joe Krantz in my Emerald corncob pipe. Hope you enjoy your new Emerald cob as well @KA9FFJ .
Have you tried the SPC Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged?
