***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

[JimInks]

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2000 Wessex Brigade Sovereign Curly Cut in a smooth straight Lane era Charatan Executive Extra Large stretch apple with diagonal channel cuts on the lower right and left of the bowl along with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. This smoke will probably be interrupted by lunch.

Smoked a cigar earlier, Cohiba White, swam some laps and now smoking University Flake in a Sav. Oceana,Coke Zero on a brutally hot day.

Twice I've received stuff I didn't order. The first time they sent the wrong baccy. I notified them, and they sent the correct blend allowing me to keep the ''mistake.'' More recently a tin (50g) of Briar Fox was part of my order but they sent me a pound. I notified them and they allowed me to keep the pound.

Your right, they were a gift from SP, excellent customer service from them, I’m really impressed. UK suppliers could take a leaf out of their book.

Evening all, I’ve just finished some Poplar Camp in the Grabow CDL, I love Yorktown and Yorktown with 20% Perique is the nuts.
I just opened the Captain Earl’s Mystic blend and it’s got an incredible tin note. Reminds me of a Souk or Casbah without the underlying aroma of miscellaneous animal shit. I’m packing up the Kiko meer poker for this one.

I think he does better than Carol did. He's always in a good mood, and takes all the time necessary to help his customers.

I was trying to be nice! I just thought it was burn out. I just quit ordering from her. A few of the blends were some of my favorites, too. I had moved on, really. But a light went on and i placed an order last month and Placed another today. I’d been ordering bulk aromatics from pipesandcigars but I think their quality has taken a hit, imho…. Thanks for the tips, Jim

My first smoke of today- it‘s Aromatic Wednesday in the Kelly house with Boswell’s Raspberry Cream and one of my favorite Dunhills.
A friend found the bowl buried in a church yard, gave it to me, and briar works did a great restore!

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am part way through the last of this tin of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem.

Peterson Royal Yacht in a Yello-Bole Checker panel that has mellowed from its bright light stain to a dark walnut look after about five years or more. This is the only Virginia based blend, with its unique plum (or whatever) flavoring that reminds me, in a good way, of burley.

Is the quality of the american delight tobac as high as what they use in their lakelands?

 

[crawdad]

Smoking this mixture of 2/3 EGR and 1/3 H&H in a cob. This is one was one of the late Shelby Foote’s later concoctions. I think EGR is better by itself IMHO and I wish I hadn’t blended so much of it.

Now smoking KBV Festivus Pudding in a 1978 Peterson Deluxe 20S medium bend smooth dark brown billiard with a silver cap military mount black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem.

I would say it isn't.
