    C&D Cornell & Diehl Eight State Burley

    I ignored the 2nd and 3d Chinese reviews (the yare the same anyway), and bought 5 tins. I hope Smokingpipes will delete them; with a help of a translator it gives us: "Welcome to the Kirkie Dog Pasture Show in the toilet at Station B". Very innovative approach in tobacco reviewing.

    I still experimenting with tamping. When I smoke couple bowls of the same tobacco, I am trying to find if there is any difference in taste, when tamping few times VS no tamping. Hard to say, I think it's a matter of the individual technique and experience.

    Finally a Nic Hit

    One of my favorites is Bold Kentucky, so I was full of anticipation and anxiety to try "Rustica", potentially the more "wild" version. I took quite seriously the advice about " two flakes". Two flakes it is. First impression: very cool and dry smoke, no bite, took just one relight. It's...

    Bold Kentucky is my favorite in HH series. This new blend is so tempting, I guess, I never will stop buying a new tobacco.
