    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    Well, this morning's smoke will have to wait until later...we've have high winds blowing hard since last night, and down went a 15-foot length of our backyard fence (hoping the power lines aren't next!). Since I smoke outside exclusively, it's not worth the hassle of cinders or ash in they eyes...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    Wilke Chocolate in a MM Missouri Pride cob. Tony Joe White's "Homemade Ice Cream" to accompany. They complement one another very nicely!

    A Shortcut to Mushrooms

    That state of exhaustion clearly signaled its demise. Tobacco blenders abhor weakness, and will always do to the death any creature that exhibits it.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    G.L. Pease's Samarra in a no-name bent billiard meer. Strong-brewed black tea with cream to accompany. Hot and dry weather seems to have parked itself all along the West Coast, unfortunately, with bad consequences for our Californian friends.

    Ah, gotcha. It had slipped my mind that Pease uses Cornell to manufacture his blends!

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    Does Cornell & Diehl have a blend called "Spark Plug"? That one slipped by me (which is not hard, since they have so many blends). I know of (but haven't tried) the Pease blend by that name.

    I haven't tried a Peretti blend yet that I haven't liked.

    Lekker Smaakelijk: Troost Slices

    I enjoyed your review of a tobacco blend I've never had the chance to try.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    While hoisin sauce is delicious beyond any doubt, maybe it's a bit much on a sandwich that already has salted butter and bacon.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    Brown sauce or ketchup?

    Best First English Blend for an Aromatic Smoker to Try

    I wouldn't be surprised if STG buys the rights to continue manufacturing and marketing the Nat Sherman pipe blends, as they already produce them.

    Peretti's 150th Flake in a MM Missouri Pride cob. Strong-brewed black tea with cream to accompany.

    Best First English Blend for an Aromatic Smoker to Try

    And there are some other blends with some complexity that aren't heavy on stronger tobaccos. L.J. Peretti has a milder blend called "English 110" that has oriental and latakia, and it's pretty easygoing. Their Cuban Mixture is an old burley blend that has a nice blend of flavors without being...

    Wilke 515 in a blasted-finish Volkan bullcap that I reserve for aromatic blends.
