Which book is this in? I can't believe I overlooked it. Also quite interesting that I gave a synonym for it. I guess that means it is aptly named.

Stanwell Stud 10, extremely rare to be found.
The shape is wonderful.

It’s clear to me if I ever want to find out what this pressed Exmoor is like with some age on it, I’m going to have to press a lot more of it! This is fabulous right out of the mold, I’m not sure it’s going to last very long, I’m having another bowl of it right now in the same pipe. I used Sutliff Prelip in this batch, which may be an unknown blend of Prelip and possibly other orientals? and possibly very lightly cased, though I couldn’t pick up anything in it from smoking it straight, but I’ve been glancing at the bag of it on the shelf for a few years now so I figured why not. It worked out really well.

Tonight I'm smoking an altered Smaug. After the aging and second try I was still struggling to taste much of anything but Latakia sandpaper tongue. In danger of ending up permanently in the jar I decided to increase the proportion of Dark Air and it's really livened up the flavor and reduced the tongue burden.
Photo is proof I'm using the labels when a blend is making it into the regular list. Smyrna Bright has taken up near permanent residence as my sunrise bowl.
I’m smoking the Exmoor I pressed yet again and in a Joura again. I’m noticing a bit of an issue with my pressed version though, uneven component distribution. And I thought I was careful about that. I think I’m going to make another batch and press it as a cake and see how that works out. Also going to try it with Krumovgrad this time.

I made my Exmoor plug being all careful to build it symmetric about the center: DAC-Samsun-Perique-VA-Burley-VA-Perique-Samsun-DAC. I figured it would give a pretty cross section when slicing. Turns out I can't tell at all what's what after it's been under pressure for 3 weeks. It's all a dark brown now. Smokes wonderfully though.
