    Tobacco find in Bruges, Belgium.

    Phone was really giving me hard time, back home now. Went into a little cigarette shop not expecting much. Found this below a humongous display of cigs.

    1792 Flake and Perique

    I mixed 10 grams of rubbed out 1792 flake with 1 gram of ribbon perique and rubbed the mix out some more. I’m not very good with descriptions but this was interesting and I like it. I didn’t get the pepper/spice I usually get from perique. It was smoothed out, maybe from the tonquin. It didn’t...

    Live Indoor Music

    I’m talking indoors like a bar or restaurant, not a big venue. The music is so loud to me it’s not enjoyable. I ask for an adjacent dining room if there is one. Sometimes, anywhere in the main room is too loud for me and I can’t stay. Some people sit at tables or stools up close. I can’t imagine...

    The Beast

    I’ve been smoking Cornell & Diehl’s small batch “The Beast”occasionally over the past few months. It has a very spicy earthy-ness that I’m growing quite fond of.
