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

[Christos D. Tsatsaronis]

Smoking now a selfmade "blend" which I call "Käpt'n Barsdorf's Toscanello Bester" because it consists of:
- Käpt'n Barsdorf's Bester Virginia (from the grey colored tube) pipe tobacco
- Toscanello Nero (chocolate flovored) cigarillos, chopped and rubbed.

"And how do you like this creation of yours?", I hear myself asking...me.
"Well, actually I like it very much my good man, thank you", I hear me responding to... myself.
Note: please, don't tell any "Psy" doctor about this dialogue of mine, good people!
In a Pipex pipe.

Smoking some SWR, thanks to @TheIronMonkey, who gifted me this little Algerian briar. Smokes well, nice size for the amount I like to smoke at a time. Thanks again Jeff! Merry Christmas!

Had a bowl of Exclusive in the Sterncrest on the way home. I think I get more of a nic hit from Exclusive than any other blend except Five Brothers.

Stamping is somewhat buffed out and hard to read. One side reads 'EXPORT' over 'Super Grain' (I think) in script with 'KAYWOODIE' under that. Other side is stamped 'IMPORTED BRIAR' over '42'. It appears to be a factory push stem and I didn't get a stinger with it. I don't know much about it past that and don't remember where I got it.

That’s interesting, mine is marked Straight Grain and has a push tenon, I think they made them like that as custom builds. Very cool

First time smoking semois. It was a gift from my Secret Santa. I've got it in a cob and I'm enjoying it. I like a shag cut.

I think we like a good shag.

Still with you guys in spirit but haven’t smoked all week. Me and the misses are still both sick. Freaking sucks but it could be a lot worse. Wore me out just picking up a few things at the grocery.

Feel better soon mate

Prayers for JOHN72. Didn’t work today so finished last 5% of lights. Delivery guy bringing my last minute gift orders. Wrapped some gifts. Bought some kitchen cabinets for a rental project at a smoking price. Did it finishing off my Uhle Crushed White Burley jar in my burley workhorse Stanwell Bent Dublin. Now going to crush some sushi and sake with some Crinkle 22 from the bowl I started Wednesday. All I need is a Zagnut and this was an epic Friday.

G&H Curly Cut Deluxe in the Chacom Jurassic poker for an after dinner, after wrapping presents treat.

Hope you both kick this bug completely and quickly.
