***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

[JimInks]

Did a little snacking and am a quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2016 Sutliff 507-C Slices in a black sandblast PSB medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 228/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.

It does help. And I am taking notes, and only drinking water.

My first foray into smoking was about 6 years ago, and at that time, I ventured as far as Autuum Evening, which was and remains my favorite aromatic. I‘ve since enjoyed a few of the 7 Seas blends.

I’ve tried some experiments like with cherry flavored tobacco. So I bought a tin of Blood Cult Moon and some Lane Limited cherry and some Sutliff cherry. The Blood Cult was too much — it was spot on a cherry-chocolate cordial but way too sweet. The Lane was fine, but the Sutliff in my mouth shined — tasty, not overpowered, yum. I know everyone is different.

I rate each tin or bulk (in baggies). From very good, to good +, to good, to ok +, to ok, to so-so, to awful. Seven rough categories. My thinking is keep all of it and get into blending this and that later. I tried some Izmir Turkish the other day — I didn’t think it was too strong, but I could see blending it with some of the ones I like the least.

A really fun adventure for a retired guy!

Thanks again.

You're very welcome.

I’d see if Uhle’s will ship to you. It’s my understanding their Burley is considered one of the best, especially Blend 00.

If they won’t ship to you, then maybe later you can get some Uhle’s blends here on the forum.

Thank you for your information！I will contact them to see if they can send international express delivery.

Here's a first for me - Wessex Sovereign stacked in the Musico Pot. I have doubts it will smoke well but we'll see. There's 9 coins in there..

Took the afternoon off because it’s my birthday and …… mowed, played with dogs, harvested peppers, potatoes and onions, lol, pretty exciting. Now getting down to relaxing for an hour or so - Peterson ‘22 PPN Pub and We Three Kings - nothing celebratory, just had it loaded up last night and got too busy to enjoy it, haha.
