Yeah, me too.
I like a variety of different stuff.

Right now I'm smoking some homemade Navy Flake that @Haebar generously sent me. It's my 3rd bowl of it so far. It is very tasty and a great tin note (bag note?) as well. Really enjoying it.

It is a full flavored blend, and is going very well with this glass of 12 year Glenlivet on the rocks.

Capstan blue and later some Peterson Irish Flake.

Any thoughts on this one after a few bowls of it?

Exhausted Rooster in a Stanwell silver band dip.

Kind of hooked on this stuff.

McC, Katerini Classic in a gourd calabash. Very nice tobacco. Haven't had a bad Grand Oriental yet.

I like the dry, shaggy cut. It still tastes like a good VaPer, but it smokes quickly (though not hot/bitey), and comes in handy when I want a change of pace from the Oriental blends I sometimes use for a quick smoke.

Quick half bowl of Irish Flake to start the day off right!

Half a bowl of Kentucky Club Mild in a rusticated french made straight brandy. I like this stuff, I think there is a slight hint of lavender in the topping. anyway, it's very pleasant, quite smooth, and mild-medium nic content; noticeable but not huge.

Cob Tuesday with some Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture.
