Pipes of the night
Cob filled with Half and Half
Meerschaum filled with Dunhill 965
The Cob was its old good self, providing a good smoke to whatever I put in it. So the H&H was enjoyable if not very subtle.
The Meerschaum with 965 in it is a whole different experience altogether. It's like eating an awesome steak after splitting an appetizer of cheese fries-what comes after is in a whole different league than what came before.
The Latakia may not smell great to bystanders, but the small flavors and complexity of the smoke is just outstanding to me. No tongue bite at all, just flavor for days.
I don't love it as much as Royal Yacht (my first REAL pipe tobacco) yet, but it is certainly a great smoke, and the nice clean meerschaum lets me taste all of it.
