***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

[abecox]

Pegasus in an Apple. What a great blend, even if its gonna be a quick smoke in the cold. All this talk of blending houses closing got me thinking that if I just had a pound or few of this squirrelled away I could be happy. Variety is the spice of life but if I had to choose one this could be my desert island blend...

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Gonna be on a diet for a while after the last two days. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2012 Stonehaven in a straight black sandblasted 1957 Barling Exel 249 Fossil T.V.F. black billiard with a silver banded military mount and a black ebonite tapered stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Fantastic little pipe. A 15-20 minute smoke is all that is needed at times, eh? I have a set of miniatures for that very purpose! Also invaluable for rationing endangered tobacco!

I love it, it was a gift from a very gracious member across the pond. Works wonderfully for a quick blast of N with strong shags.

GH Black Bogie Twist in a Peterson Arklow 68. I like regular brown bogie much more. This has a very manly, oily, dark almost tarry grilled creosote note. As if I left my grill and smoker open while not in use.

C&D Carolina Red Flake with Perique from 2023 in a Peterson Derry 69.

It was a great but long day. Had an evening "Candlelight Service" at the church and then a "Taste of Christmas" meal afterwards. I introduced many people to pierogi tonight! The church graciously presented me and my family a generous Christmas gift also. Relaxing with some Burley Flake #2 in a Pete Irish Harp Lovat.

Try the Black Irish X-it literally tastes like a charred London Broil to me!
