I clicked it for both of us. Not because I liked it, but because I feel for @Bruck ...Quote:

When finished it'll be time for Newminster 403. Tasty!
Hopefully everyone has a nice weekend planned. I have my wife's side of the family intruding - ahem - visiting tomorrow for a gift exchange, and then, despite there being not a single snowflake in sight and temps hitting the unseasonably high upper 50s, I'll pack my wife and a Thermos of my Parisian-inspired hot chocolate into the car so that we can drive around at look at the Christmas lights.

Packed a big bowl of Stokkebye's Dutch slices this morning, on the way to rushing out the door to fill in with a friend cutting timbers (his business partner couldn't make it). I like this stuff, it's a nice strength level, and tasty (good outdoors too).

Having just about destroyed my taste for tobacco by trying a bowl C&D Crooner I decided to restore my faith with a bowl of Pete's @NeverBend Professor blend. Now all is right with the world again. :thumb:
No offense to anyone who likes it, but Crooner may well be the worst thing I've ever smoked - possibly including even Mixture No. 79!

I know some people do... It's probably the burley more than anything else - I just don't like burley-forward blends. I'm curious to try deer tongue in something without it, if such a thing exists. If I had more than just a small sample of a 2-3 bowls, I'd send it your way!Quote:

I've been smoking lots of Peter Stokkebye Amsterdam over the last 24 hours and like it.
Almost finished smoking MacBaren Modern Virginia Loose Cut in a 1999 smooth dark brown full bend Tim West tomato.
Half way through this bowl of 2012 Reiner’s Long Golden Flake in a smooth 2002 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Series Milverton.

The stuff's not bad. Mrs. Bruck likes it in RYO ciggies (but guess who does the rolling) :)Quote:

About a third of the way through this bowl of First Responders in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo craving on the shank.
I use a rolling mat - looks like a miniature sushi rolling mat - and loose papers. Works pretty well. I had to laugh when I was watching videos on how to use the mat, the presenters all enunciated the word "tobacco" euphemistically. I'm thinking wait, I really am using this for tobacco!Quote:
