    New Manil Blend - La Volute

    New Manil Blend - La Volute

    It's a dry ounce though. Pure tobacco weight. That brick lasts quite a while.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2020?***

    Mississippi Mud in a cob. Bought a 4oz test tin to see if I'd like it. I do. I figured it was worth a try after discovering I like Ten Russians.

    I cellar (not for aging, so much as for keeping my stock up): Billy Budd Bow Legged Bear Black Frigate Bayou Night Briar Fox Old Joe Krantz ...all commonly available C&D blends, so it's just for convenience rather than worries about availability, and none strike me as something to actually want...
