Of late it’s been my habit to begin the day with these two tobaccos:
#1 — Patriot Flake
#2 — The Mallard
Both by Dan Tobacco. Now puffing TM in my Tinsky brandy. Very tasty, it is. But the fill nearly emptied my jar. I’ll use the little bit remaining for my next fill, and add enough Hamborger Veermaster to make a complete fill.
Historical report here - had a couple bowls of @Haebar 's homemade Navy Flake while taking a break from hunting Saturday morning (armed hiking really - never got a shot off). My hunting buddy had a bowl of it as well and agreed that it was a fine smoke! Clean VA, subtly sweet.
I just opened a tin of “The Mallard” (Dan Tobacco), and put it into a jar. Puffing that now in my Kirsten. This is a superb Virginia, and no mistake.

What were you hunting Bruce?
Had most of a bowl of Sam Gawith, Navy Flake in a Canadian - milkshake stout on the side.
Was near the bottom of both when a disgusting looking fly came out of nowhere and decided to go for a swim in the last of my beer. This my friends is why you should always drink beer from a GLASS - so you can see if some filthy insect is drowning in your drink... but I digress...
At that point, the rest of the bowl and the rest of the beer went into the wood stove and I headed inside
I got tags for deer and bear. Saw no bear; saw a few deer but didn't have a decent shot - too much brush, could only see their heads.Quote:

Thank you Bruck! I need to get back into blending and pressing; been away for it too long.Quote:

This morning I had a bowl of PS Danish Export in a Sunrise apple.
The weather has gone to shit here, normal high is 50 and the past week and going forward its 30's. I couldnt take it anymore and decided on a half a bowl of Lane BCA in the Dr. Plumb. I had to power puff it for time purposes but it hit the spot.

Started off the day with a bowl of Condor in a Sunrise Dublin. Hernia surgery tomorrow - not looking forward to this. Boss is going to let me work from home for two weeks to recuperate.
Praying for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.Quote:

Probably @Bruck .Quote:

That and the fact that too much of anything is usually not a good idea.Quote:

Best wishes and prayers for quick recovery!Quote:

Then I put a paper plate in the warm skillet on which I have prepared and spread out a bowl's worth of tobacco
Doesn't take long and it's all about right for smoking
Now puffing Wessex Fragrant Virginia in my Tinsky. FV is a ready-rubbed red Virginia with cider topping. Very tasty.
Smoking some Five Brothers in a Genod apple that I got on Ebay just a few days ago.
Yes, mighta been me - I do keep some of the ancient stuff around.Quote:

I never smoke in the morning unless I'm hunting. Coffee goes good with this.
A little rubbed out Erinmore flake in this little un-named number.

I don't seem to be picking up the flavors!Quote:

Go slower.Quote:

That's not a hard rule, but helps me with that problem sometimes.
That will come in time. Try the above and see if that helps any. Drawing slow is certainly key.Quote:

(I was smoking them too wet and puffing too fast but ymmv) Also, don't be stingy with the retro. Pipe blends do tend to lean toward the fragrant end of the taste vs smell spectrum. Not all of them tho.
I thought it was you, thanks. And it is Velvet and not Prince Albert like I said it was.Quote:
