Ashton - Artisan's Blend 50g
Needs a good Porter
This blend bills itself as ‘for the experienced pipe smoker’ and they are not wrong. I don’t call myself experienced yet and when I first broke the seal on the time I thought ‘this would go well with Laphroaig’ but I was wrong. It really needs pint of a good porter. It is very Latakia heavy, but the beer smooths it out nicely. It is certainly not a daily smoke, but I will keep it in the rotation.

Missouri Meerschaum - Cobbit Shire with Sapphire Stem
First Cob
I am a relatively new pipe smoker, actually just getting serious about it after casually piping for decades, and I am adding at least one of all the various styles and materials to my collection. This was my first cob and I was not disappointed. The quality was surprising good for such an inexpensive pipe and I had no problems disassembling or cleaning it. It smokes a little hot but really allows the flavours of various blends to come through. I had read that cobs don’t ‘ghost’ and I have certainly found this to be the case.
