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

    Also smoking some tonight that was jarred in 2018. It's a good one that I forget that I have . This should have Syrian Latakia in it.

    Are we really losing that much with the closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    We are able to purchase some of the Esoterica from our local B & M ,The Briary. Their Virginias are very good along with the VaBer Tilbury. Recently popped a tin of 2017 Penzance that I jarred and it is very good but there are several Latakia blends that are better or measure up to this.

    H & Home Bright Night and SPC Hogshead. Really good Virginias. Bright Night is probably not available anywhere. I'm on the hunt.

    Drilling In Peterson Pipes.

    To all of you woodworkers on the forum. In an attempt to drill out the hole into the tobacco chamber I drilled into the moisture chamber through into the bottom of the pipe.

    hey yall from Alabama

    In to the Briary last Friday and Skip ,Kay and Brandon have done a good job of bringing things back around. Out of the Esoterica that arrived earlier in the week but that is to be expected.

    ISO: HH Syrian Deluxe

    And if you do ,how much and what is your take as it ages ? I'm liking the last of the brand that I have. Jarred it in June of 2018 and rationing it. Some sugar on the top always gets me going.

    Mixing Blends

    And have added HH Old Dark Fired to this, as well. Also have gone by to see Skip at the Briary a few times since they have "closed". It is still a pleasant experience to go in. New hours are on his website.
