    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    2004 Butera Blended Flake for my inaugural (for me) smoke of a blasted Falstaff (Charatan 2nd) diamond shank billiard. One of my favorite McClelland flakes, and the Falstaff was a sweet smoker all the way to the bottom.....but what would you expect from Charatan?

    Praise to Peretti

    Tashkent is a real treat, there's nothing quite in its league out there. I think Royal is best Sobranie White style blend out there. Park Square is a nice, piquant Virginia.
