***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

[JimInks]

How does Dunhill flake taste with some age on it?

Deeper, more matured dark fruit flavor. The tartness mostly disappears with age. I like it better this way.

We had a wonderful ZOOM meeting today!
I smoked a Pioneer calabash that my wife gave me for Christmas, 50 years ago, filled with 2017 Christmas Cheer from a tin I opened this morning. Magnificent!
Part of our ZOOM meeting was recorded by regular participant Brian Levine for this coming Tuesday's Pipes Magazine Radio Show. He asked us to comment on two questions he posed. Make sure you listen in, I think you'll find it quite interesting.
Merry Christmas, Blessed Hanukkah
and a Happy, Healthy New Year!
