    Germain's RDF & Hampton

    Just finished RDF & Hampton Flake in a row. First, RDF has a strong smell of plum which I'm very enjoy smelling it. One my friend in WI told me that he get a little bit of moldy hay smell from Hampton. I didn't get the moldy hay smell from Hampton, it's more like old bamboo soaked in whisky to...

    Have You Try Ginger Tea Or Milk?

    Recently, I start drinking a cup worm ginger tea or a bottle of milk while smoking. I know it sounds weird, but it does an amazing job to me. I always get tongue bite while smoking. But now, they can ease the sting on my tongue, also enhance flavor of tobacco. Y'all should give it a try.

    Aberlour Bourbon Batch 6 & Oliva Serie G

    I had a great time with my drinking buddies last night. We drank a lot of whiskies. The biggest surprise was the synergy of Aberlour Bourbon Batch 6 and Oliva Serie G cigar. Some people say Batch 6 tasted like wet toilet paper. For me, the scent of fruity flavors is too strong, lacking of...

    Blow Moisture Out Of Stem

    A gurgling pipe is annoying. When the smokes wetter, I would gently clockwise twist and pull the pipe stem out, then blow moisture out of the stem. It makes the pipe stop gurgling and keeps the smoke dry. I think the moisture in pipe stem is most likely the saliva. It gets into the stem when we...

    The Synergy of 7 Reserve

    It's midnight at Taiwan. And I'm drinking and puffing with my friends now. I want to talk about the taste of 7 reserve. The taste is mild and smooth but too light compared to any other English blend. However, its synergy with peated whisky is just too amazing. When you smoke 7 reserve first and...
