Good morning. Joseph and I are sharing a bowl of Voodoo Queen and listening to Christmas music on the radio.

That VooDoo Queen is good stuff. Do you pick up small hints of fruit from the latakia, like in Bothy Flake? I didn't notice this till half way through my open stash of this.

It is good but ? don’t tell anyone. I can see what you’re saying about the Latakia. This one of the few lat blends I smoke, if you can really call it a lat blend. It’s the perique that that makes this blend especially good to me. It’s like a jazzed up Bob’s Chocolate Flake.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Watch City Old North Church in a medium bend fumed tan crackled year 2020 Ahmet Govem reverse calabash meerschaum with a military mount silver band and black acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend.

Never had Bob’s Chocolate Flake. The word chocolate keeps me one thousand miles away from that one. But, of you like VDQ, try Bothy Flake, it’s very similar also.

Breaking in my new Sav 315ks Noce with C&D Kajun Kake. I’ll think I’ll call this pipe the “Wall-Nut” because it’ll live on a wall and looks like a walnut lol. For a first smoke she smokes great and the blend tastes great in it View attachment 113777View attachment 113778View attachment 113779View attachment 113780

I was thinking hickory nut.

Never had Bothy Flake and don’t think I’ve ever ever seen it available. It sounds good, from the reviews.

The chocolate is fairly mild, and I wouldn't say it was the leading flavor if that matters to you.

Thank you Jim, I may at some time sample this one and find my hesitance to have been unfounded. But, while others are fighting for it and swiping shelves clean in a single bound, I'll wait.
Do you notice a Bothy Flake, VooDoo Queen similarity? I was sort of shocked, because I had thought that Bothy was rather unique, and I have had VooDoo Queen years ago, but I didn't recall this fruitiness.

Bothy is rather unique, and deeply rich in flavor as you know. I haven't smoked VooDoo Queen in a few years, but I remember it as being a little more than moderately sweet. With no Lakeland in it, I just can't make the connection you do, though both blends have a deep fruitiness.

I think the fruity Jamaican rum in VQ is what you're really sparking to. Maybe the current batch has more than usual?

That’s it! I’m buying up all the Voodoo Queen there is. Gonna corner da market before the story gets out. ??️

Mrs Cosmic is home today, riding my ass about “your voice is never going to get better if you smoke” bs.
So, till I can get out of the house, this Dunnie dog with Lombard might just have to last me a while today. What’s wrong with sounding like Beatlejuice or the toe-headed kid on Little Rascals, ha ha.

Did you varnish or is this an original? Beauttiful finish.

I meant to type "malt", not Lakeland. It's too durn early in the morning, man. ?
