Got a bowls worth of Mayor's Chocolate Flake drying out for some time later in the day. This is one of my favorite blends but I haven't visited it for months. Now to select a smoking instrument. I'm leaning toward a musketball in my MM freehand with the new heel...

Puffing Dunhill Navy Rolls in my Kirsten Mariner. It’s a great tobacco, but given its premium price, you might expect the coins to be better formed. In some tins they are, but not in my current tin.
Sutliff Private Stock French Quarter. Not bad for an aro. Doesn't bite but is a bit goopy. I'm currently smoking with a briar - I'll try this stuff in a cob next time; they're a little more goop-tolerant :)
More OJK this time in a big Capitello. Looking for a N hit after another day working in the yard.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b16fdf2a52.jpg

Well given the beer, why aren't you smoking Reiner Long Golden Flake?Quote:

Invest in? I don't think you can classify a tin of tobacco as an investment any more than a beer or a candy bar. However, from the descriptions of that blend and the long, coiled belt presentation I might just grab a couple tins myself soon. The only thing that makes me want to shy away (other than the price) is the white burley it supposedly contains. I usually hate burley in my Virginia. Also want to try F&T Blackjack that @Pipe Smoker recommended.Quote:

Up early this morning and smoked a bowl of GH Dark Bird's Eye in a Sunrise Canadian. Ran out of coffee, so had to drink some black tea. I could get used to hot tea in the morning if it had just a little more caffeine.
Smoking my Luciano squat bulldog today. Earlier, Dunhill Navy Rolls and Wessex Classic Virginia. Now Hamborger Veermaster. The first two were good, but I think the HV is best of all.
When I used to make tea at work, the Chinese guys would caution me not to get the water too hot because there’d be too much caffeine. “No such thing as too much caffeine,” I’d be thinking.Quote:

You can get Vernor's in Tennessee?Quote:

Yep, they sell it in select locations here. It's not easy to find though.Quote:

Alternating fills of two vapers again today: Dunhill Navy Rolls, and Wessex Classic Virginia. They’re quite different tobaccos, but I’m liking the Wessex every bit as much as the Dunhill. That’s despite the fact that it’s a good bit less expensive. Ready-rubbed, it’s a bit more convenient, too.

I grew up in a small town in Missouri. There were three drugstores, each with a soda fountain. Everybody ordered cokes — plain, vanilla, lemon, cherry, or chocolate. After my junior year of college I had a summer job as an engineering intern at Detroit Edison in Detroit. At the soda fountains there everyone ordered Vernor’s. And most put cream in it. Surprised, I was, but found it was pretty good that way.Quote:

Finishing my last fill of the day — Wessex CV. And time to Ream my Kirsten Mariner. I have the Kirsten custom reamer for it. Milled from steel bar stock, with six cutting edges, and a beautiful knurled brass knob.
"Soo Blend" this morning. Bet y'all have never heard of it :)
It's the house blend from a tobacco/furniture store in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. It's your basic aromatic - whiskey/cavendish/fruity, pretty good flavor, no bite. The furniture's not bad there either.
Cream in Ginger Ale! That's the first I've heard of that. I appreciate Vernor's as the best that is available here locally, but my favorite is Blenheim Ginger Ale. The only place I can find it is at any of the Mast General Stores.Quote:

Giving the pipe thing a try again. Almost forgot I still had a bunch of the samples @BryGuySC gave me a while back. Trying the Mclleand darkest Carmel.

I remember not liking it too much, but it's been resting for 2+ years. Still doesn't QUITE agree with me, but much nicer!
Also, I found @Haebar 's Navy flake he sent me what feels like long ago! Going to break that out soon!
I know it all got buried in my closet when we moved. I happened to see the jar I stuffed it in the other day and figured why not. Still to work on my technique but it was more enjoyable than I remember the last times I tried.Quote:

Now I'm working on a bowl of Presbyterian Mixture in my Savinelli Sherwood Canadian. I'm liking this blend more and more as I smoke through this tin.

My tin of Dunhill Navy Rolls went empty yesterday, so I opened a 3yo tin of F&T Special Brown Flake — puffing that now. Two neat side-by-side stacks of rectangular flakes. Said to be rum-flavored. Probably true, but I wouldn’t have guessed rum if I hadn’t known. In any case it’s a very tasty tobacco.
I gotta say that I like oaky Chardonnay, this Hess being my favorite.Quote:

Well actually, with this McC 2015, the un-oaked goes better with the top half of the bowl as it's decidedly more fruity than the oak aged. After about the halfway point the blend loses its fruity tartness and begins to develop an almost buttery flavor that goes great with a traditional chardonnay. Gotta love that; a bowlful of tobacco that forces you to drink 2 glasses of wine :p :p :drunk: Things could be worse :)Quote:
