    Mac Baren's HH Burley Flake

    They don’t taste the same to me at all. It may seem as a close profile, but HH has more depth, the cocoa notes are way more pronounced, the burley nuttiness is different and there’s a spicy quality that’s lacking on the amphora. They are not on the opposite spectrum, but not the same either.

    Mac Baren's HH Burley Flake

    My number 1 burley. Wonderful blend. Pure dark cocoa without a cocoa casing. Amazing.

    C&D Crooner

    I can’t smoke gentleman caller. It’s just sickening with deer tongue. It seems excessive to me. I don’t know or remember if there’s any topping that could contribute to this. I’ve recently tried crooner and enjoyed a lot. It seems like smoking tobacco with a hint of something else. Nothing...

    Cornell & Diehl’s DT Trio

    I smoked some GC in 2021. It ghosted the chamber, the stem, my hand, my nails, my shirt, my pants, my apartment walls, my soul. I think I can still smell it. Maybe I’m smelling this thread. I’m scared of opening that jar.

    OJK BLUE or PEGASUS?

    Burley is basically all I smoke on a daily basis. I don't know why I've never tried OJK. I'll definitely include on my next order. Pegasus of course, is a favorite.

    Carter Hall by Middleton

    Still have some pouches around. PA too. But I'm keeping them sealed and smoking from the tub only.

    Wonderful match. One of the best if not the best I've ever seen.

    Aromatics: Captain Black vs Lane vs 7 Seas

    I am probably alone here but I much prefer the captain. 7 seas seems way more goopy to me and way more heavily topped.

    Velvet tobacco

    I don't know why but velvet always irritates my mouth. Not so much with any of the other OTCs.

    Great to hear (or read) that!

    Chipped Chamber NOS Kaywoodie, Is That An Issue?

    I don’t like cake as I always wipe the chamber with a paper towel. I really hope that it can be sealed by carbon as it is smoked. Thank you for you feedback.
