Tried some Black Shag 221b, real fine cut. Burned like ***. Packed a bowl o Blue Mountain and it is very enjoyable, significant tongue burn though. Both are McClelland.

Shag will burn faster and hotter (if you are not careful). I have found like any cut some shags burn better when packed a little lighter, but that is just me. I would try packing lighter and if that does not work pack it heavier. Everyone's pace is different but shag has to be packed a little different than your average ribbon cut.

I kind of figured that. I packed it tight with the tamper trying to get it to burn, and it just got hot so I tossed it since it woudl not stay lit.
just got my first pipe yesterday.just a little corn cobber to see if i like it.smoking the vanille cavendish that came with it .not bad not bad at all...
Just finished up with some Proper English tonight. This used to be one of my go to blends but I have not been smoking it as much. My palate is changing quite a lot of late. I think I will finish this jar and let the rest age a little before I open any more.
I wish it was the Black Maple J03zr sent me forever ago, but alas it is all gone, lately it was a test blend made by some dude over @ P&C forever agoi called Island Ambrosia, not bad, just kinda weak nicotine wise.
Just opened another tin of Old Dublin. A very good med. bodied English. This one has 18 months on it so I would guess not much change yet but I just could not wait any longer.
Only two bowls? When you hit 20 in a day call me. LOL
Today so far has been Walt's blends ; Gloucester, Baffin Bay and original. At the moment its a Stogie and Blackberry Brandy in my lounge

20 bowls?? I would not have enough time in a day. Most bowls take me at least an hour.

Something called twisted peat. It's a flake tobacco I got from a b and m. First time with flake not sure if I packed it right . Then again I'm never sure if I pack my pipes right.
ive had a long day, started at 5 am and went with my grandpa to a big fleamarket to sell some junk, had to get my uncle's old buick started and am just now getting some alone time even though i have 5 more blends to try i reached for the 1Q again, i have a feeling its going to become what the 5vegas classic is to me in cigars, a reliable, good, inexpensive smoke. it will be on my next order for sure.
Well, a long day that will start a very long week. I had to stop and take a break grabbed Kendal KY fro G and H. A good strong blend with a nice Nick kick. Feeling better. Back to it!
