    Seeking Chocolate Burley Recommendations

    Chocolate notes? I use Wilke Chocolate for my chocolate-plus mixes. For Brit Flakes, especially 1792 Flake, Bengal Slices, Burleys, etc. Also, Wilke Peanut Butter is the other blend I use for a mixer. Both work great for my challenged palate; smooths stronger tobaccos' profiles.

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

    Hope everyone has been having a good weekend! Spent yesterday celebrating astronomical Fall with C&D Autumn Evening in a Charatan Poker. Memories of Early Fall in Connecticut. Have spent today with Pease Samarra in a dedicated Upshall P Poker. Memories of Early Fall at the Owl Shop in New Haven.

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

    Good day all! No computer the past four days so no smoke notes. Took the opportunity of PC downtime to do a four-day "retreat" solely with one tobacco, namely Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in several compatible Upshalls. Wonderful smoke! Never got tired of DNR. Nevertheless started today with...

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

    Good day all! Spent yesterday in the Florida heat and humidity with the companionable GH Ennerdale Flake. Started today in the relatively cool 80s with Drucquer Casbah in a large Tilshead smooth Canadian. A little bit heavy as the heat rises so will go back to Pease Samarra this afternoon.

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

    Good day all! Late start due to indecision about what to smoke in the shade on 100 degree days. Settled on Peterson Royal Yacht in an Upshall P Dublin with beveled rim and pencil shank with tapered stem and put fire to a bowl. Very nice and the nic hit makes the heavy heat quite relaxing and...

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

    Good day all! Started with KBV Van Gogh in a wee Upshall sandblast Dublin with smooth top and eighth-bent tapered stem size 3. Am employing an "artisanal" (aka Florida Swamper) drying technique on the seeming fireproof KBV Spacial Cuts #2, namely depositing said tobacco on a plaque pour placer...

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

    Good day all! Started with KBV Spacial Cuts #2 (which after two days of drying still won't stay lit). Moved over to Drucquer Red Lion in a dedicated Upshall P Poker with square shank and sterling band with matching eighth-bent tapered stem. Very nice all day smoke.
