    What're You Smoking This Holiday Season?

    I cracked a tin of Fires on the Levee and have been smoking it almost exclusively. I had pulled a tin of 2017 Christmas Cheer but decided to put it back in to storage. My New Year’s resolution is to limit the number of open tins to a maximum of three this year.
