Puffing a fill of Dunhill NR, as opposed to DLNR. It's tasting better to me today. The jury's still out as to whether or not it's as good as DLNR.
C&D Pirate Kake in a Howal......

Turned bitter cold today again, so only got 3 smokes in:
Orlik Golden Sliced
FMCellar
H&H Anniv. Kake
A bowl of Wessex Gold Brick, continuing break in of rusticated French Brandy. Tasty stuff, though a touch on the plain side for 14 bucks per brick. Not bad at all though.
How many oz/g in the aforementioned brick ?Quote:

Most of my cellar is stuff like D&R purchased during sales (15-20 a pound), some Stokkebye from sales (20-25 ish a pound), and my "luxury" stuff like C&D for around 27-30. Plus plenty of bargain stuff like Smokers pride rich taste, and a crap ton of Lane ready rubbed I practically purloined from P&C for a buck an ounce.Quote:

Digressing here but the way I see it, tobacco (as well as things like beer, bacon, corned beef hash, sausage, etc) are at best, unnecessary and really aren't even good for you. Therefore if I'm going to enjoy them I'll make sure I REALLY enjoy them. (and usually in moderation if only because of the price) I don't buy lousy bacon, I don't buy mediocre tobacco, and I don't drink Budweiser... :D
