    First sampling of Watch City Cigar Flake 558. Impressed! A very nice crumble flake. Can't wait to see what some age does.

    Custom blend of Doblone d'Oro, Opening Night and a bit of Capstan Yellow - in the 68 Derry. The DO really came through, (one of my favourite blends).

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

    Quiet evening after a teardown to clean the boiler in my espresso machine. A glass of rum, a tea, some tunes (Dino Saluzzi) and some Quiet Nights in the Radice. Wonderful way to finish the day.

    Yeah - I think the guy in the Quebec group was panicking a bit. If you talked to them yesterday than it's probably good. I'll try to pass by Monday at lunch.

    Someone from the Quebec group went by the store yesterday and saw a closed sign in the window and is thinking that maybe they shut down the store. Haven't been able to confirm yet.
