    Sitting on the deck enjoying the plants and the still night with the pup. Smoking Robert McConnell Red Virginia in a MM bent stem Legend. Enjoying a grapefruit High Noon as well.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2023?***

    Smoked a bowl of Jackknife plug earlier in the MM Bracken. In a couple of minutes I'll be enjoying some SparkPlug in a Stanwell Royal Guard prince.

    I must admit, I don't pay attention often enough to catch sales.... but I caught this one. Aside from Erinmore, the 4oz of 507C and the 8 oz of Burley Kake everything is new to me.

    I have the clear/brown glass version of this I use for my ashtray!

    Favorite Accessories

    If it works, it works, hard to argue with that. Since I smoke most days, I tend to leave out what I'm currently using for this task. Since I'm doing so, I prefer to have something that's as much pleasant to look at as is functional.

    Iwan Ries Virginia Flake in another bent stem MM Legend with water to drink. Finishing up last night's movie as well. Patiently awaiting my next couple orders to arrive.

    If ya'll don't mind sharing, what are some of your favorite tobacco related accessories? I'm looking to get a leather tray/tobacco mat, but not looking to spend too much. I wouldn't be opposed to wood either and I've seen several make an appearance on the Now Smoking thread. If you can link to...

    Smoking some Dark Fired now and just did another order with Coniston, Brown Twist, C&D Winchester, Black Irish and Spark Plug.

    Rich Tobaccos

    Well I'm at least on the right track, as just about everything mentioned I've looked at or in a few cases I've bought to try and haven't gotten around to just yet. Adding a few more to the order!

    Rich Tobaccos

    I will say right off the bat, I'm not looking for aromatics. But what tobacco comes to mind when you think of rich, smooth, oily and satisfying? The kind of satisfying after the perfect meal. You could eat more or even go for something sweet, but in that moment you're content. I've been...

    So I've smoked 4 bowls of this so far. Some were just half now, half later. All out of a bent stem MM Legend, twice rubbed out and twice fold and stuff. Interestingly enough, this review was based on fold and stuff and the 2 following bowls were rubbed out and lacking something. So I repeated...

    More Iwan Ries Virginia Flake in a MM bent stem Legend, water to drink. Throwing on Tombstone (movie, not the pizza 😅) while I smoke. This is a damn good smoke, might have to order a larger quantity soon.

    Well that didn't take long. Sold some tobacco to the manager of the local B&M and they had some Escudo in stock.

    Day 2... lessons learned

    Also called a Kentucky mule... throw in some simple syrup and a splash of lime. For the Holidays, add a splash of cranberry! But just ginger and bourbon is fantastic by itself, although a better ginger beer is essential imo.

    I did get a smoke in. I'm not too nuanced on Virginias thus far. I've smoked pipes on and off again, Escudo is one tobacco that has always smoked well for me and always been tasty. That being said, there is a distinguishable Fig Newton smell to it. Just letting it sit out 20-30 mins before...
