50/50 mix of Country Squire Rivendel and Old Toby in the Vauen Olaf bent egg (20mmx45mm chamber). The first two batches of Rivendell I tried were great, very chocolate. This batch has too much or too fresh burley in it so I had to cut it. I further let it dry for 5 days in a tray. I can tolerate it now but I can't really handle the nitrates in burley. It causes tongue bite and burns like hot chili pepper oil. It also gives me a slight headache. I may have to gift this batch ! I did taste the sweetness but not as pronounced as prior batches.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, two big plates of lasagna made with a pound of beef, and a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. I'm not far from finishing this bowl of first release Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
