    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***

    Wilke Wall Street in a Nording Freehand, with a bit of bourbon on the side. I love that this blend is so satisfying and that it contains only burley and perique.

    Favorite Borderline Aromatics?

    Two Friends' Homeward Bound is the only borderline aromatic I smoke fairly regularly. Burley, Virginia, and Cavendish, with a light topping I can't quite describe but is reminiscent of old codger blends. A rare 4-star from @JimInks persuaded me to try it.

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

    Listening to the game (Pirates) smoking Five Brothers in a Dagner poker cob with some Shiner Bock on the side (a beer I came to like when I lived in Texas for a few months for a military school).

    Just opened a new (aged) tin of Kelly's Coin. Loaded up a Chacom Jurassic

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

    Haunted Bookshop in a cob. I know I'm getting boring, but I really only like a few things anymore, and that's one of them. :/

    Old Joe Krantz in a cob before dinner today -- just can't get tired of it!

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

    Yeah, it's a gem to me -- just burley and perique. I believe @JimInks had a hand in this blend.

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

    Haunted Bookshop in a cob with some bourbon on the side. I had one of the newer crumble cake versions, and I must say I'm glad have finished it and cracked open one my old 8 oz tins. There's a lot to be said about how the cut affects the blend, and I'm a believer now. I do enjoy it in it's...

    Hey, Anyone Heard of C&Ds "Mad Fiddler"

    It sounds like that may have inspired "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band.
