    August 2011 - What are you Smoking?

    Fresh haircut, straw panama hat and GLP Key Largo on the blistering hot desert back porch. Happy Friday! 8)

    Favorites Mild - Flakes

    GLP Key Largo has vaulted above all others at this stage in my flakey journey.

    Any old Boy Scouts here?

    I was a Scout. I still have (and read) my Boy Scout Handbook. Troop 99 Boulder Dam Council. I also was a Leader on a week-long Scout Camp to Catalina Island for my nephew's troop. He made Eagle. Overachiever. :P

    August 2011 - What are you Smoking?

    GLP Key Largo - holy crap this is good! Impressions: black coffee, chocolate, maduro cigar leaf, cool, Bogart, E.G. Robinson. You know, this Pease guy might just know a thing or two about tobacco blending. :puffy:

    Christmas Cheer.

    I've got a half tin of Christmas Cheer 2000 left. Definitely not a sugar plum kind of blend but just straight, high end Virginia. The catsup smell has long went away leaving just well-aged flakes of Va. yummyness.

    July 2011 - What are you Smoking? II

    It's been a good soaking rain out here in the Great Mojave Desert. More Grousemoor in the pipe. Coffee is done for the day. It's 15 Year Single Malt Glenfiddich now. :puffpipe:

    Middleton's Cherry Blend and coffee on the back porch. Thunderstorms threaten the desert for the whole weekend. Bring it!

    mellowing an English blend

    Black Cavendish would work. Drugstore burleys such as Sir Walter and Prince Albert are also known to be good blending tobaccos. I like my English powerful but I would think Cavendish would sweeten things up a bit and the burleys would add a nice "nutty" balance to the latakia. Good luck.

    My local B&M has a large cache of Samuel Gawith tins. I picked up a tin of Grousemoor. First time with this 'baccy. I think we have a winner here. :puffy:

    July 2011 - What are you Smoking? II

    Hot weather and latakia are not a usual mix for me but tonight it's Old Ironsides in the Savinelli. Batten down the hatches! :puffy:

    H&H Black House

    I had the pleasure of smoking one old, dry pouch of Balkan Sobranie 759 before it went away forever. There was something "there" that I have not found since. Was it the Yenidje leaf? Could be but I have a tin of Black House on the way and I am looking forward to seeing how it compares to my...
