Burley? Really? Interesting.

:wink: I can't think of any other tobacco naturally smelling of "chocolate" though I usually consider it more of a cocoa. I know the secret ingredient....it's a dash of Mixture No. 79 dottle and some fresh cobra blood for strength.
On a side note I spilled about a bowl full of it in a box....I went into panic shaking the box to get every crumb. Was like watching my brother about get caught with a baggy full of something else, slammed the keyboard tray. Made a mess in the floor....was picking it up for weeks Was funny when I was asked last night "What are you cussing at?"

I was pretty sure the painting was a Terpning piece, but wanted to verify it as The Crow Pipe Ceremony. He is my favorite contemporary artist of Native American people and their lives.
Hawk, the tobacco looks good enough to eat, and that is high praise at my home.

Perique ... love that musty, chocolate smell.

 

[blackbeard]

Didn't know that. Never had pure perique around, or anything the scent stands out in...so hard to say. Thanks for the info.

Last few samples I packed up were put in a 3 X 5 ziplock baggie. and then in a regular envelope with one forever stamp. A easy way to get out some samples as I have to go to the PO to do a parcel package. I can do small box flat rate for $5.25 from home but that not feasible for a small sample.
I feel this envelope deal is just not doing the tobacco justice. The still packed cake and freshly crumbled out is the ultimate in partaking of the whole experience. The matchbox method is good but my Dec 3rd lay-off has me in frugal mode and hard to beat the envelope method. My sleep pattern of backwards right now too and I'm a little bit sick with a cold. All this has my whole world a bit upside down.

Sorry to hear about your job and health downturn. Many of us have been unemployed at some point and can relate to part of your situation, Hawk. Hang in there.

 

[cynicismandsugar]

Hawke, sir, my deepest sympathies. You are a good man, and I wish nothing but the best for you in all things.

 

[mcitinner1]

I'm smoking the sample Hawke sent me, and it is very good. I know how much getting laid off sucks dude.

 

[hawke]

derfargin and rigmedic1 samples mailed. These are the small 3 X 5 baggies which don't seal very well.
mcitinner1, How moist was your baggies when it got there? Fluffies looked dried out more than I want when people get them.

 

[mcitinner1]

Mine was a tad moist if anything, but I dried it for a short while, and it smoked great.

 

[hawke]

Envelope Samples mailed to: derfargin, rigmedic1, mso489, randelli, & michaelmirza.
Check your PM's Jeffery Deal -slight delay.

 

[cynicismandsugar]

Thank you, Hawke; I've responded.

 

[hextor]

The tobacco does sounds good and looks really really good, I don't have old aged tobacco tough, just have one jar and it like 5 months in, are there more blends that you have concocted?

 

[hawke]

I'm working on a Latakia blend hector but far from where I want it.

 

[hawke]

Laid off, bored, and eat up with HIMD(Hawke's Indian Moon Disorder) LOL

A Logo:

NOT FOR SALE

 

[hextor]

that's a nice logo are you planning to make it the official logo for your blend?

 

[blackbeard]

I have your logo....something my uncle drew long ago. Also, going to need a Hawke's Indian Sunrise. We'll have to discuss it

 

[hawke]

Sounds like fun Tyler!

Hector, I was just playing around. Tobacco selling laws make this endeavor more along the lines of an altruistic movement whereby gifts are given. Sometimes among two parties in trades, but more often just a gesture of friendship on my part.

 

[hawke]

Good news on the lay-off deal. I should be working again in January it appears. Thx for the well wishes here and in PM's.
