On the Fourth Day Of Christmas... Persevering with the Rattray's Sterling Flake, this time in a Kiplay bent briar with horn stem and orific bit. Yes, quite a decent smoke, predominant toffee notes under a citrus tang, more than enough nictone to remind you you've had a smoke, but I find myself thinking: it doesn't ring your joy bells, matey, life is short, you can do better than this so just jar the rest of that stuff and slice up some Dark Plug - and so I shall. The year turns, so I've been sowing early Lyon Prizetaker leeks, Black Crimean tomatoes and Bedfordshire Champion onions. It's just a couple of degrees above freezing in the greenhouse, and I'm perished. Warming up by the stove with some Kraken rum.

Greetings, gentlemen! Bizarre weather here in the Midwest. Yesterday a high of 40° Fahrenheit. Today a predicted high of 62°. Tomorrow a predicted high of 29°.
Having a bowl of Murray's era Durbar, which means this tin is 20+ years old. It has aged beautifully and is one of my all-time favorites. The pipe: a Chheda Liverpool. A pot of Harney and Sons English Breakfast on the side.

HU Edward G in a Peterson Sportsman 87, letting out the horses and the ladies.
I had higher hopes for this blend-it’s in the neighborhood, but just misses the mark with me.

Orlik Golden Slice in my Peterson Aran 150. Waiting for the drizzel to turn to snow.

Mix 45/45with Directors Cut then 10 % Perique. IMHO a very good mixture. This is a mixture from Forum member @ Sigmund and he call it HU Delight. I have a jar that has been aging for almost two years. 2026 will be time to try it.
I just finished my second bowl of HU Night Owl in a Jirsa 210.
A very good blend. Hans us a great Blender.

Perhaps, but I may just swap what I’ve got out for something I know I like.
Or it can join the ranks of many others and live in a jar with a backup tin aging…or get gifted, or my tastes will change, or…
Couldn't resist sitting outside with my pal Stella. 73 degrees right now. Supposed to drop 30 by supper and nearly 60 degrees by morning. Smoking WTK.
Mac Baren - Navy Flake in a Cob and a Cup of Joe.
Hearth and Home Butternut Burley in my Rattray's Yule 2023 Sandblasted alongside a mug of black coffee.
