I've been wanting to try Blackpool. What do you think of it?

Nothing special just ''adequate'' because i am not a ''Virginia guy'', i prefer Latakia-Black Cavendish-Rum tobaccos mainly. I smoke virginia tobaccos from time to time but i am not a fan. :)

What's best companion with pipe smoking even before a US MARSOC encounter in the Middle East? A boiled coffee.

I am smoking Robert McConnell Latakia Flake while watching Jarhead: Law of Return (2019)
in the subtitles a version of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is played.

18 August 1966 Vietnam, 108 Australian and New Zealand soldiers against over 2000 Vietcong.
It took over 45 years before the Australian government fully recognized the heroism and bravery of the soldiers of Delta company.

On the first day of the battle, the casualties of Britain and the Empire were 57,470 men. 21,391 dead and missing, 35,493 wounded, and 585 prisoners.
When first reported on the numbers [which were below the actual number of 17,470] D.Hague cynically said: "These losses cannot be considered serious given the number of people involved and the length of the front of the attack...the nation must learn to withstand the losses ... the nation must be ready to see the lists with the heavy losses."

How did you like nightcap? I just picked up some 965, I hear they're similar..
not too similar besides the manuf. name, very different blends.

i might be in the minority, but I've always liked 965 (medium virginia, fragrant leather, burning leaves in the fall, mild incense, an all time classic) a lot better than nightcap (fairly heavy perique).

early morning pipe is better than both of them imo, but it depends what you're in the mood for: that's the great thing about pipe tobacco
