Beauty!First bowl of the weekend, trying Captain Earle Honor Blend for the first time, in a J Alan. So far it’s a winner! Might be one of those easy daily’s like Exclusive.

Hope you kick the bug's asses soon!Still trying to get over the flu and bronchitis. On inhalers, prednisone, and such shinola. So still not had a pipe in WAY too long! Soon hopefully. Meantime, I am reading this forum, somewhat wistfully, I must add. Happy December everyone!

Post-script on this guy after smoking another 1/3 of it and still having trouble, before dumping the rest. It turned out that a dense wad had formed at the bottom. Next bowl of this, I’ll rub it out completely and give it some drying time. And leave the tamper in my pocket.My first bowl of GH&Co Black Cherry Twist, in a clay. Not an auspicious start, because it started to gurgle around the same time it finally took a light. But flavor-wise, very promising! Just when I least expected it, there were little wisps of sweetness. Looking forward to getting to know this stuff better.
