Dunhill Flake and Wessex Classic Virginia are two of my favorite Virginia’s, but both were tasting a bit tart today. So I opened my jar of Solani Aged Burley Flake. That hit the spot. I don’t smoke a lot of ABF, but sometimes it’s just The Right Stuff.
I'm off for the weekend! Just finished a bowl of G&H Dark Bird's Eye in a Sunrise Dublin. Drinking some Earl Grey tea.
The other day I mentioned that I'm having some of Tobias' old Blue Train tobacco. Well, it burned the [expletive deleted] out of my tongue, hurt for about 3 days. So... I let it dry out for a few days and thought I'd try it again, which I just did. Still burned the [expletive deleted] out of my tongue, just not as bad. Still not worth it. Into the English Ivy it goes :(
Y'all might be thinking Bruck, you can't throw away perfectly good tobacco (don't worry, I'm not); send it to me instead (no, I don't want it to burn the [expletive deleted] out of your tongue either).
Followed up with some Esoterica Dorchester - much better! :)
In the last 12 hours, I've smoked four or five bowls of Condor in various pipes. Love this stuff. Mowing the yard with a push mower, 6/10ths of an acre. Had to come in and take a break and make some iced tea. One of my push mowers (the lighter one that I use for trim) wouldn't start after being stored through the winter. After wearing out my shoulder trying to start it, I put some enzyme stuff in the tank and pulled the rope 6 or 8 more times to get it into the carburetor and went and cut grass with the other mower. After about an hour, I tried the other mower and it started right up!
What?!? Where's the 'Don't Like' button? I just LOVE it when they taste tart. :pipe: I wish I could find a blend where that initial sour note they sometimes have would last all the way to the bottom.Quote:

Smoking a bowl of GH Dark Bird's Eye in a Dunhill Shell straight billiard. Sipping some Buffalo Trace bourbon and listening to Pipes Magazine podcast from Tuesday.
Earlier, F&T Vintage. Now a fill of Hamborger Veermaster. Both in my Luciano squat bulldog. Both tasting exceptionally fine today. Next up: Lunch, which will feature a Westminster Rustic Red cheddar cheese sandwich on German-baked pumpernickel.
Then I suggest that you try Fribourg & Treyer “Blackjack”, an untopped ready-rubbed Virginia. Too tart for me straight, but I use a bit of it to brighten-up dull tobaccos.Quote:
