Whats the room note on this? Is it like a vanilla candle or more subdued?

Hard to say as the smoker but it's not super synthetic like many aros. There is a prominent tobacco taste to it so I would think that translates into the room note. I'll take some to pipe club and see if I can get a better idea.

The taste is where the magic is, it's like smoking cream soda. Sounds wishy-washy but see for yourself.

^^^Thanks Todd

Good Evening Pipers. We've been experiencing some well deserved and welcomed rain here in the Santa Clarita Valley today. Started about 4:00PM as a very light rain, and is currently misting at this time. Its supposed to pick-up with intensity later. Love the rain.

Earlier this morning, the USPS delivered my new Todd Harris Rusticated Bent Poker. Loaded it with Mac Baren's Scottish Mixture, and it smokes like a charm:


This afternoon, pack the Charatan's Make Perfection 489DC with some Scotty's University Student. Not a bad Va/Bur/Cav blend. I don't smoke inside the house, and I think the aroma of this blend is lost out on the patio. I do enjoy the dense smoke that emits from the bowl just prior to taking a puff though. And, it tends to pick up more in aroma/flavor after about 1/4" has burned. I think this blend would definitely rock inside the home (or maybe your dorm room) I'll keep a pluggin' along with it though...

Peterson holiday season in a Peterson System delux.



The pipe I believe is courtesy of Badbriar - either a bomb or asymmetrical trade in which I came out on top.

The pipe is reserved for aros and handles them really well, keeping them cool and dry. I think the p-lip helps (?) I guess it's a "bent" - not quite an Oom Paul - smaller and more finesse, more like Cousin Paulina.

The 2016 Holiday Season is better than 2015 in my opinion. It is less chocolate cloying and more nut-cream-vanilla. (Think blonde Oreo cookies). Like most aros rather simplistic on the flavour profile, but lovely aroma. The pipe really puts the smoke under your nose.

Escudo in an old K&P Peterson. Unique pipe, with really odd rustication. 2 flakes using the roll up and stuff technique. Went for a good half hour with only the first relight. This is an excellent, flavour filled smokey classic.
