    Jim's C&D Firebird Flake (Small Batch) Review.

    Thanks Jim This one sounds like a winner based on the components and the write up on SP. I’m glad to hear you thought so to. Now I just need to remember to order some when it goes on sale next week.

    Name your favorite HU blends

    I like a lot of HU blends but Flanagan Flake has become the tobacco blend smoke most regularly. It’s got a bit of everything in the mix and for me it is a great medium strength all day smoke. Also - although I generally don’t care for dark fired I quite like it in Flanagan and other HU blends.

    What Will Be The Most Sought-After Sutliff Blends 5 Years From Now?

    I’m really hoping they do release a bit more before the end but I’m not too optimistic. I’ll let you know if I see it pop up somewhere

    What Will Be The Most Sought-After Sutliff Blends 5 Years From Now?

    I don’t think I’ll miss much of the sutliff blends that are going away and I have cellared a bit of handful I like most. I’m more concerned with how Sutliff’s closing affects LJ Peretti and others like them. That said I am kicking myself a bit for not getting some match walnut before it...

    What Does BBQ Mean To You?

    Growing up in Western Canada we grilled steaks and everything else on what I thought was a BBQ. Twenty years ago I moved to Kansas City and realized what I thought was a BBQ was actually a gas grill and that BBQ is actually a style of food slow cooked over a wood or charcoal and wood fire.

    There is Nothing Unauthentic About American Italian or Chinese Food

    The best, most “authentic” Chinese cuisine I have experienced was from restaurants in Vancouver that I frequented with Chinese Canadian friends (often quite late in the evening during the Christmas season or on the weekend after a late night out.) There was generally no English menus available...

    There is Nothing Unauthentic About American Italian or Chinese Food

    This is an interesting subject. For me it comes down to what is meant by authentic/inauthentic. Panda Express is a fine and I would argue authentic example of an American fast food take on Chinese cuisine. I love it but I’m gonna go to China town for dim sum if I want a more authentic...

    US vs Euro/Imperial Burleys

    Similarly, I thought I didn’t like DFK and avoided blends containing it until I tried some HU blends a couple years ago. I realized that (to me at least) DFK tastes completely different in the HU stuff than it does in other blends.

    The Dupont Knock-off

    I have 3 knock off ST DuPont L2s and a genuine L1. I used to have 4 of the knoc offs but I left one on a bench out side of a hotel a couple years ago. I don’t think you can go wrong with one of the many knockoffs that are available for around $40 dollars. They work great , look great and feel...

    In general I have to say I often think of myself as a bottom lister. I’m happy there is at least some evidence to the contrary!
