Smoking C&D Autumn Evening, getting into the last long stretch of work for the day.

I tried this blend a couple years ago and hated it. It burned my nose on the retrohale, got real rough ..of course I was not smoking it properly. I decided to revisit this blend on a whim today and have a whole new appreciate for it. It won't be in the daily rotation but I see the appeal now, at least.

A two bowl day for me. First was Hearth & Home El Niño which is a delicious blend of several different tobaccos including DFK, Perique, Orientals and a light portion of Latakia in a Wessex brown sandblast bulldog with a Cumberland stem. This is a very interesting and yummy blend with a good bit of spice. I will be spending more time with it for sure. It probably could have used a bit more drying time.
Now on to H&H Cerberus, a more full Latakia blend, in a Don Carlos 2 note Dublin with a slight bend and a cool silver band featuring the maestro logo. This is also a good blend but came bone dry. Not sure if that is intentional or not. Beverage is a martini featuring Kyro, a rye based gin from Finland.
