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

    Been smoking C&D Sun Bear Navy Cask, most recently in the Falcon. I have all the Sun Bear releases, but this is the first one I have opened because I was especially curious about the flavor combination. I like this blend very much and it will stay in my regular rotation for a while.

    McClelland 5110, this is the only blend of theirs I have ever smoked but I sure love it. I have less than 100g left. HH Latakia flake, I have a little over a pound cellared so it will last me quite a while, but once it's gone it's gone. :cry:
