    Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong Flake

    Its really good stuff. It has an almost orange tang like nose and the layered flake is stunning to behold. Its strong but not overpowering. I'm thinking I should have more in the cellar than I do.

    World's Best Va/Per

    King Eider From Bufflehead was the best VaPer I've ever had. Good luck finding any now. AS for current production I have to say Beacon by McClellend is my hands down favorite. Virginia Flake by Solani and Escudo aren't far behind.

    Had a pipe with a pit viper - No, not your ex wife...

    Had a copperhead that wouldn't leave(not that I was giving him much time)the spring box I was trying to repair when I was living in Virginia. Took me a bit to snag him with a rake to get him out of the box. As soon as he hit the ground he was coming straight for me all ticked off. Well at that...
