Smoking an Old England 713 by Sasieni, Filled with Virginia Woods.

Very nice pipe. Quality stem, I can see why this took on the lessor name of Old England. There are a few ok more then a few fills but other then that, It has nice birds eye and cross grain. While working on a pipe of a low quality briar it has opened my eyes to see some nice quality briar.

Hope everyone has a great day

Smoking some Rattray's Sweet Fragrant in a cob. This is an Interesting Tobacco. The name makes me feel like it is going to be a nice room note. However it is very light almost nothing really. Taste of this tobacco was light and mildly sweet of Vanilla. The finish was with a hint of plum crumble. Not a tobacco I could see my self smoking all day every day, After dinner a couple times a week.

It's probably the toughest tobacco to describe that I've ever smoked- how's that for a review? Snork reveals a little pepper and a bit of coffee with a hint of anise- and I mean a hint. I've snorked almost every puff to get what's going on. It definetly benefits from extensive drying. Have enough for one more bowl and then I will revisit the Curly. Sip slowly on this one- it's got BIG teeth.
PS- on a sidenote- the coffee I detect on the retro as well as the pepper is very Dunhill Elizabethanesque
