    Do You Reuse Mason Jars?

    Subj - do you reuse mason jars to store a different blend? I suppose glass doesn't absorb smell all that much, but I think the lid does - maybe the insulation ring. Do you replace lids? What about mylar bags - do they absorb smell?

    English Fatigue?

    Thank you for your responses, everyone! A lot of good stuff here. I will be putting English blends aside for now. Today, I smoked Bayou Morning; the smoke wasn't as bad as the yesterday's, but it was still inferior to ones I've had with this blend before. But while smoking, I found myself...

    English Fatigue?

    I actually started with codger blends! Velvet, Half & Half, and SWR (terrible vinegar taste!) were the first ones I had. But Englishes won me over pretty quickly.

    What do you smoke to reset?

    English Fatigue?

    I have been smoking Englishes almost exclusively recently, but today I can't sense much else but ash. I can barely taste any Latakia. Smoking Sutliff Vanilla Custard now in hopes to reset my palate and get a feel for English blends again. Do you have to ditch your favorite blends for a while...

    Sutliff Bosphorus Cruise

    I have a pouch, and I like it a lot! Delivers more than the name would suggest for sure.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Started another bowl of Arango Balkan Supreme in my Rossi tonight. It isn't as strong as some other Englishes I've tried, but I'm liking it.

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    It's interesting that you say it didn't have a lot of flavor - for me, Latakia has A LOT of flavor, it's just different from what you find in aromatics. It has a very distinct smell as well. If you want to try out an English for cheap, I would say go for Match - they have matches for Nightcap...

    Signs of the Tobacalypse

    Ingles sells pipe tobacco?! I don't think any supermarket chain does that down here.

    Do you know when they stopped making it?

    Sutliff Bosphorus Cruise

    Picked up a tin of Sutliff Bosphorus Cruise from a local B&M shop today. Naturally, it was the last one. Has no date sticker, unfortunately. Looks like the blend is not produced anymore, does it mean that the tin is worth more now? :) Haven't opened it yet. It's an English and has 3.56 on...

    Hello from South Florida! I love my cobs, too.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Now smoking Amphora Kentucky Blend in a Rossi Vittoria. I was surprised to see rubbed flake in a pouch. Compared to ODF, the fired Kentucky is much less pronounced; ODF could be a full bodied end of the day smoke, while this could be had mid-day.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Now smoking G&H Mixture No 25 in my designated MM Country Gentleman. I would say this one is pretty mild for an English, Latakia is barely there, despite the Internet saying it contributes to 20%.

    Filter or no filter?

    What kind of MM pipes did you buy? Some of the cobs come with a paper filter and others don't. I guess you could try a pipe with and without a filter and see what you like best?

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    This time around, I know what I I'm smoking (at least I think so haha). It's Arango Balkan Supreme in my Rossi. This one is an interesting one. The bag note I would say is very Latakia heavy, but when smoking, I'm actually getting some sweetness and not as much Latakia. There's also some...
