sweet label

Thanks,

C&D is famous for their tin art. If they have label art for Haunted Bookshop I haven't seen it -- mainly because I buy it in bulk and put it up in jars. I make less artsy labels for all the bulks I buy, and print them up on sticky-sided paper. Very convenient because my "cellar" facilities are nothing more sophisticated than cardboard boxes, and I need labels on the lids.
Currently, just finished a bowl of Iwan Ries' Virginia flake, mellowed-out with a 6% addition of perique.

'Evening all!

I just finished a bowl of Cumberland by GL Pease. It's a full throttle Vaper braced by a stout Burley. For Perique lovers only. Just the right smoke after a spicy meal. Good vitamin-N hit too! As True Grit's drunken, uncouth, one-eyed marshal Rooster Cogburn would say,

"It's gen-u-wine double rectified bust-head." Yumm

Breakfast was the usual bowl of P.A., coffee, and the morning paper. Right now I'm in the middle of another bowl of Pease's Cumberland. So good it makes you wonder why everybody isn't smoking a pipe.

Kevin, you gotta get up some pix of those new Charatans for us!
Just finished a load of Frenchy's Sunza Bitches from H&H. Had to smoke nearly two ounces before I could discern the Bourbon finish; but it's a nice effect with the Perique once your palate is able to parse it out.

Circuitjerker, Peter Stokkebye is making some great English, Balkan, and Oriental blends. I used to smoke Squadron Leader and Dunhill 965. I have found P.S. Proper English to be the equal of both, in taste and quality. Balkan Supreme gets 4 stars on Tobaccoreviews.com, and their English Oriental Supreme is in a class of its own. IMO. Right now I am smoking Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Bullseye Flake. A very good VAper. I hope that helps:)
