Bob’s chocolate flake in the Li’l Pete 317 with an afternoon decaf. Loaded the pipe and lit up with regular coffee in the morning, but allergies made it pointless. Better now in the afternoon.

Been spending the last couple of months with Virginia (-based) blends: HH Old Dark Fired, Telegraph Hill, Union Square, The Virginia Cream.

Union Square is my usual morning smoke and goes pretty well with some black coffee. Telegraph Hill is OK; the perique is peppery and I am waiting to see if it mellows some and develops the plummy flavor note. I have found that I prefer Virginia with dark fired Kentucky (HH Old Dark Fired) more than the VaPer counterpart.

A major discovery is that I prefer a Virginia blend with both perique and DFK - The Virginia Cream (an aromatic! The booze/vanilla topping may have something to do with it.) Next step is to try a Virginia/perique/DFK blend without a topping . . . Any suggestions?
