Haunted Bookshop in the small briar. Good Friday everyone! Have a safe and happy weekend.
John Cotton Double Pressed Latakia in a Bruce Weaver. I really like how the John Cotton cakes burn. The Kentucky is my favorite, this is second, Burley is third. I have not tried the double pressed Virginia. Has anyone else? Virginia’s and I don’t mix well lately but I’m curious for someone else to sample it!

I don’t enjoy them much, I mean I think I’m allergic but I like the taste just not the after affects, I wanted someone else to try it and you did so thanks!I had a tin of Double Pressed Virginia, it was quite light tasting, not a lot going on.
If you really enjoy VAs, I highly recommend these to your list, if you haven’t already.

When I smoked Orlik GS the first time, I really liked it but over time it got less flavorful. However, that was a fresh tin. I have a one year old tin I'm gonna open soon to see how aging has changed it.I had a tin of Double Pressed Virginia, it was quite light tasting, not a lot going on.

I got me some of that Solani . You like Briar fox as a Burely blend? I've been on the fence on trying it.Been enjoying some briar fox recently.
As a heads up, there is Aged Burley Flake available at smokingpipes. Limit of two per day: been waiting a while to grab a tin, so if anyone is interested just doing my community service.
Haha, I’m going every other bowl which is something given how I usually jump around. Have some sitting out as I type for later.Sun Bear Tupelo in a Peterson Deluxe System 1s PSB. I am loving this Sun Bear and have smoked this tin exclusively since I opened it.
