Tried smoking several blends. Trying to get over Covid. Loss of smell is truly toubling. I cant tell the difference between an Aero, Malin Flake, and an English. I guess I hope for the best and will probably smoke a lot less. It doesnt taste bad just not great. I suppose its time to break out the tins Im not super fond of.

Damned virus of the devil. I wish you a speedy recovery my friend. I had my covid and flu shots a few weeks ago. I too find that my sense of smell is not as it used to be, and even my palate, or taste.

Taking further advantage of the pleasant day to have a bowl of Sam's Flake in a fine -smoking Blatter.

On one side it's stamped "Blatter"

And on the other side "Rettalb", presumably so that if you're looking at yourself in the mirror and forget what you're smoking, you'll be reminded.

IMG_8581.jpegIMG_8583.jpegIMG_8582.jpegBowl three in the calabash meer, 2021 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake. Going through many VA blends right now to find what I’d like to cellar heavily in the future. This isn’t bad in anyway, but when I’m done with my jar that has but a few dried and brittle-oil scraps, I won’t find myself searching it out again. Stoved VA’s are my favourite, and I see little point in going deep in something that I find just a hair above okay, at least for now and the foreseeable future. Happy Holidays, All!
