Dr. Grabow Pipes

I was in the shop working on some pipes when I spied a jar with a couple of bowls worth of Solani Silver Flake left in it. I also keep a tin of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed on the bench. The idea hit me to pinch out about as much Edgeworth as there was of the Silver Flake and shake them up together. Now Silver Flake is mainly Virginia but it has some burley in it too, so my resultant mixture was probably a little more burley than Virginia. It turned out to be very good. Had a nice, smooth, combined taste, but if I tried, I could taste the separate components as well. Might have to mix up some more of this.

I wouldn't get too excited, it doesn't happen very often.

You mean I should tear up my check for Steverino's Optimal Blend (SOB)? Laughing
