    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    Yes, for sure, but I don't get that from it. Sometimes I'll add some Latakia instead of the DFK, depending on my mood.

    Tobacco Sandwich

    Definitely experiment as you wish. A lot of pipers mix tobaccos frequently. I'll layer a bowl with a couple of different tobaccos, but far more often, I'll mix different blends more to my liking or for a change of pace. I'm smoking a 50/50 mix of GH Kendall No 7 and C&D Ribbon Cut Burley right now.

Supposedly Dark Plug, Dark Flake, and Kendall Dark are the same blend, just a different cut, at least that's what I was told many years ago. I like them all, but smoke a lot more Kendall Dark than the others. I also recall...

    GH&Co Brown Irish #4 Rope --- Love the New Package Method/Coil Size

    Since @gawithhoggarth didn't answer the question, I will. I recently smoked both Samuel Gawith Brown No 4 and Gawith Hogarth Brown Irish X and can say with certainty that they are not the same at the time these were produced (both were purchased and jarred in 2017). I like them both, but I find...

    Looking for a New Knife

    It was a Leek, weakest steel I've ever seen in a knife. I also have a Skyline and it's actually held up well over the years. Of course I only use it to slice plugs.
