What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Pugsley]

Just wanted to thread jack you here and tell you everything you sent is smoking magnificently. I'm smoking one of my favorites, the Full Virginia flake and it is superb, as always. I also broke down and thin sliced and rubbed the JackKnife Plug you sent me. That's a manly, tasty damn tobacco that's going to come home to papa in a two ounce tin. And the aged Firestorm, one of the finest, most complex blends to date. I've been having a ball, Warren. Keep doing God's work, man. You sure upped my game.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it all. One thing you have backward though, the Firestorm was fresh off the truck, while the JackKnife Plug had at least 3 years on it when I popped the tin. I'll bet the Firestorm will be superb with a bit of aging though. I think the JackKnife is also available in ready rubbed form now too if you prefer it that way.

OK, I admit that I'm smoking a cigar - and a bad one at that but I wanted to post something that might be more approachable for some, played by my new wannabe gurlfriend. She speaks German and some English and of course Russian (and maybe others).

Bad cigar on a freezing night but Tatyana's doing her thing and that's good, thanks for introducing us Jim (@Freestoke).

She's a doll, hug Pete!? (Hmm -- "hug" instead of "huh". Some sort of Freudian slip apparently.) This Brazilian cutie is even a little further up the classical guitar pecking order. Get a load of her and her husband's version of Tico Tico. That is SO amazing when they trade left and right hand duties. Looks outrageously hard to do.

Moving on to some RY. Adding another video. (Yeah, I should be on the appropriate thread, huh?)

And just to show that the Tico Tico duo can play for real, here's a little Scarlatti. (Scarlatti is seriously underrated!) This performance actually makes me cry it is so marvelously played. Perfection.



As tears stream down my cheeks, I'm trying to keep this bowl of BBF lit. Just had a heavy snowfall that lasted about an hour and gave us a fresh inch or so. Ah, spring. Can summer be far behind!?
