Erinmore Flake in a cob. Watching Family Guy on tbs
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, meat loaf and green beans dinner with grapes for dessert. Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Yoshimi's Robo Burleque Prototype #2 in a smooth three quarter bend 1979 made in Israel billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Watching Burns and Allen.
HH Latakia Flake in a Jost's Olde English Supreme. This thing is pretty much a smooth finish Bing's Favorite with a slightly larger bowl.
CRF w/ perique in my Castello bent bulldog.
Rattray's Stirling Flake in a Stanwell bamboo apple.
C&D Carolina Red Flake w/ Perique, in a Savenelli 614 Tortuga. Also got some Solani Virginia Flake w/ Perique in today, so we will see how the two compare.
Just tried my first bowl of that today as well, how are you liking it?
First smoke out of this Natural Grain French Made Algerian Briar billiard was half filled with FVF.
Then was a half fill of Capstan out of it.
Now it’s Dunhill Dark Flake... where has this stuff been all my life?

2012 McClelland’s Contest Blend in John Bessai Yachtsman.
I like it quite a bit. I think it is similar to the SP anniversary release, XX Flake Dark but with some important differences.
I really like both, CRF w/ P is the more versatile of the two, smoother but not as robust. XX Dark is fuller and richer but with a touch of rough edges here and there. If I had to pick a favorite I’d say I like XX Dark a little better because I prefer the fuller body if I only have to sacrifice a little smoothness to get it. XX Dark, on its own terms, is a smooth blend, it’s just that CRF w/ perique is so smooth it has a creamy quality.
BSOMM in a Charatan's Make Special 90. Watching DS9
Now smoking Watch City Rhythm & Blues in a straight smooth patent era 1952 Dunhill Bruyere ODA apple 806 B124 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
Savinelli Doblone d’Oro in an Amphora x-tra
Smoking the remnants of jarring HH Pure Virginia and HH Burley Flake mixed in a Digby prince.
