Light Latakia Blends?
Thanks for chiming in here folks!!! I am looking forward to exploring the part of the map - I can't put the Plumcake away, it needs some company too! My previous experiences, I realized, were definitely with 'Lat bombs' - primarily C&D Mississippi Mud, years ago. It was just 'too much'...- kg.legat0

Light Latakia Blends?
Hey folks! So, I Google stuff for a living..but, I want a "live" opinion... After years of pipe smoking, and a disdain for Latakia...I have become crazy, spooky into Mac Baren Plumcake ...it's not that I dislike Latakia, I realize...I just really like it as a condiment! ..so many "English...- kg.legat0

***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***
Smoking C&D Sun Bear (Black Locust) in a Rattray's White Goddess meer -- having three jobs, days like today are rare ...also enjoyed bowls of Mac Baren Plumcake, Peter Stokkebeye Luxury Navy Flake and Amphora Virginia ...I think there'll be a large pipe of Golden Extra or Vanilla Roll Cake in...- kg.legat0

***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***
Welp, that bowl of Vanilla Roll Cake was not the last stop..onto a bowl of Amphora Virginia in another Dr. Grabow (Riviera) - a darn fine blend. Watching "Archer" (hilarious, never really watched it before) as I finish my beer (took tomorrow off of the 9-5, just a short solo jazz guitar in the...- kg.legat0

***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***
Enjoying a bowl of Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake in a Dr. Grabow Royalton - Southern Tier Hazy IPA in a supporting role - a wonderful reprieve after a full work day and evening full of teaching guitar lessons. I bought a pound of this when it was released - the topping has chilled out juuuust a...- kg.legat0

Mac Baren Plumcake in a Baracinni Mare Blue - After years of pipe smoking and a consistent disdain for Latakia...I have finally found a (admittedly light) Lat blend I enjoy - I think I have made the mistake of trying too many "Lat-bombs" ...this stuff is so good!- kg.legat0

First Home Grown Fig In 6 Years.
...I did not realize you can grow fig trees in containers...very interesting. Figs are a fruit that I had no idea how delicious they are fresh until very recently ...I was always more accustomed to the 'newton' variety haha- kg.legat0

A long, rainy commute with traffic delays was transformed into a lovely experience while smoking a couple rubbed out coins of PS Luxury Bullseye Flake - this blend honestly falls a little flat for me sometimes, not the case today.- kg.legat0

What Are You Smoking, October 2022?
Getting to the end of a bowl of C&D Sun Bear (Black Locust), in a trusty basket pipe - Coke Zero Vanilla is the supporting player. Eyeing up a recently cracked tin of 2015 Mac Baren Club Blend for a nighttime selection. Cheers folks!- kg.legat0

Autumn Grilling
Sounds fantastic - makin' me hungry! I grill as much as possible and we have had great weather this fall in SW Pennsylvania. Some recent dishes have been curry/teryaki chicken, tandoori chicken, ribeyes, dry rubbed chicken breasts, etc. I also have a flat griddle next to the grill that I use a...- kg.legat0

Smoker’s Pride Classic Blend
Smokingpipes had it for under 20 bucks a bag the last time I checked - P&C always has it for really cheap, too ...word has it they can be a bit slow on shipping, tho. My local place marks the bags up to 37 bucks (lol) ...any online option is cheaper than that, even if I pay full shipping.- kg.legat0

Mac Baren's Mixture and Tongue Bite
I have read many accounts of Mac Bite with many referring to Mixture specifically ...I am lucky that I can smoke the stuff without an issue, but I believe folks who say it does.- kg.legat0

Question
I was curious about this as well - it seems the folks on Reddit (/r/cigars) trust 'ihavanas.com' - I haven't ordered from them, but I did see quite a few positive reviews. Take this recommendation with a grain of salt. Good luck!- kg.legat0

Smoker’s Pride Classic Blend
I have always been curious about the Classic blend - Smoker's Pride Vanilla and Black cavendish are very good, in my opinion. I have thought about adding a bag of the Rum blend to an order in the future, too. My local B&M doesn't carry this stuff, but the closest cigarette shop (with nice...- kg.legat0

Rotation
I think it can be fun to hone in on one blend, but I trend towards variety - I realize I have a wood crate with ~50 blends in my living room - my rotation is more based around the whims of my palate. ...the best thing is that there is no 'wrong' way to do it.- kg.legat0

C&D Virginia Recommendations
I am a fan of C&D's Virginias - Yorktown, Derringer, Opening Night, Manhattan Afternoon, and their bulk flake all rate pretty highly in my book ...Yorktown with at least 2 years on it is the true breakfast of champions in the kg.legat0 handbook :) Cheers!- kg.legat0
