    Had a nice bowl of Sherlock Holmes in a calabash. A nice way to spend the morning.

    It's pretty good. I just started smoking a pipe since many days are to cold to smoke a cigar. I started with Aromatics. I has very little tongue bite, it is nice to smoke and not feel like I licked a tree afterwards. Not sure I would say it has much of a Cherry smell, however I can pick up a hint of Cherry flavor.

    I am not a big aro guy but after trying VC it is OK. I could smell the cherry but it has a cherry flavored med. smell like a cough syrup or something. Taste is OK, it smoked clean and dry which is good for an aro. No major tongue bite for me either. The med smell came over in the taste on the prelight, light and subsequent relights but after a few puffs it goes away. No crazy about it but will most likely finish what I have.

    Just tried FM On the Town along with a new olive wood Molina pipe. FMotT wasn't a hit for me, it lit well, burned well, etc. but it lacked that unique florally note that I enjoy in the other FM's and, while the orientals definitely come through, I found it to be pretty one note in that regard and lacking in body. There are better oriental blends out there and anyone looking to enjoy the FM experience would be better served with Original, Cellar, or Bayou (if they like Perique). At least, those are my first impressions - I'll update if they change with more smoking. As for the pipe, it worked very well. It was a low end pipe I picked up expressly for trying out olive wood. Again, we'll see how it holds up over time, but at this point I'm happy with the purchase and would definitely consider more olive woods in the future. I am planning on trying the FMotT in my meerschaum and briars just to be sure my impression of the tobacco wasn't influenced by the first time experience with olive wood. If it turns out the pipe ruined the smoke, I'll update accordingly.

    ive tried FM, town, anf bayou and I pretty much felt the same. OtT was my least favorite. While I do like the flavor, I seem to have a hard time keeping these lit sometimes. Ive had em for a year and still soggy! Lol. Bayou is my favorite and seems to do better for me.

    You should really try Cellar if you haven't already. It might be the best of the lot, though I too enjoy Bayou. I'm surprised you have issues keeping them lit because for me they're one of the best burning blends I've tried. That's pipes for you. lol. If you liked the orientals in OTT you might try the McClelland Oriental mixtures or my favorite: Drama Reserve.

    I may pick that one up. I have heard that many think it's the best. Bayou burns great for me...maybe I got a soggy batch of the other 2. I am not sure that I have had many other orientals...maybe only in balkan blends like black house and magum opus.

    G.L. Pease's Abington. A very nice English. Just opened the tin. It has been sitting since 12/10. A little age, one of my oldest currently and it will not take long to finish the tin.

    Orlik from G4L I see why everyone digs this. Nice body, some sweeter undertones, and a solid nic kick. Still not Good at packing flake like this yet.

    I typically will fold it up over and over untill you have a bundle of "french fries" these can be stuffed in and then rub some ribbon out on top.

    Walts English blend from pilgrimtex

    Popped the lid on a jar of SG FVF. It has almost 18 months age on it. I have to say there is a difference between it now and what it was ROTT. I will be ordering more of this and would love to see what it is like with 5 yrs. on it if I can keep any that long!

    Midnight. Its an aromatic local blend. Its great for me, since I'm new to pipes, because it has no bite. Gray4lines what is Virginia flake? I see you talk about it a lot.
