I’ve done my back and have been housebound all day. Tried to use the clay but it’s a poor repro and the draw is too tight because it won’t take a cleaner. Jamaican flake in bantam bulldog instead. Rum and grapefruit, at least it was, time for a refill

Cool morning on the deck! Keeping warm with hot Peet’s coffee and Acadian Perique in the Volkan. Listening to Charles Brown “Cool Christmas Blues”. With COVID running rampant in CA - it will certainly be a blue Christmas

Been amping up the strength lately and loving the stoved va/oriental/perique combo in my blends. Fruity spicy aromatic and creamy.

Whole leaf blend. Ribbon cut.

55% kentucky
20% black stoved bright virginia
17% perique
8% prelip

Strong and spicy, but the stoved va softens things and adds the right amount of sweetness. An all natural "aromatic" letting the tobaccos do the work, without the need for casing or topping. Not that casings or toppings are bad, but I've been finding with the right balance of tobaccos(especially that black stoved/perique/oriental combo) things can become very fragrant.

Through a full bent everest briar.

Now smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. Time to do a set of walks.

I had the same problem with my clay. I used some wire and it cleared it.
