Just ordered some Magnum Opus, and a new Stanwell Silkebrun pipe. I'll let y'all know how it works out.
The package came Saturday, while I was at work. Packed the new pipe with the Magnum Opus that night, and smoked it Monday morning. The rest of the M.O. went into a mason jar. It was good, which says a lot considering just opened and brand new pipe. Very much my kind of a smoke, it bit a little hard. I expect that will resolve with a little time, both for the tobacco and the pipe. I'll try some of the M.O. in one of my English pipes soon, I expect I'll get a better experience. I love the pipe. Seems like good quality, and I like the #86 shape from Stanwell. I've smoked a couple other bowls through it, McClelland Oriental # 14 and some Dark English and it's coming along nicely.
Smoking a lot of Arango Balkan Supreme. Reminds me of Stokkebye's, when it was new, which I have recently smoked some aged of. Wonder if it is the same blend since I cannot seem to find P.S. Balkan Supreme any more.
This weekend just a few blends. Five Brothers, C&D Night Train with a year on it (much better now then new), Capstan Flake Blue with 2 yrs, G&H Kendal KY and Dark Bird's Eye but are always in my rotation. Of course, a couple of cigars too.

Oh yeah!! Cigars definitely supplement the rotatin!!
