***What Are You Smoking *** (Feb. 2015)

[JimInks]

Just finished smoking First Responders in a medium bend raw sienna toned early Radice sandblast egg with bamboo craving on the shank. One more smoke before sleep, and that will be Jim’s A Blend in a three quarter bend smooth 1985 Dunhill Chestnut 5202 with a cumberland stem.

Parfait. Newminister 403 Superior Round Slice starts it, followed by pinch of Sutliff Sweet Virginia. Repeat. Cap with a slice. Enjoy!
Very pleased with this and have been enjoying it the past few bowls (since yesterday morning). Had tired of 403 by itself. Sort of wore it out, I think. Or it wore me out. I like the Sweet Virginia, but it's missing something. The two together just suit me right now to a tee. Or a "V" maybe?
Slices not only add an impetuous kick to the Sweet Virginia, but slow it down. Result is a longer-lasting, cooler smoke that is still dry and savory. Very nice.
Started in a Sav billiard last night, picked up again after breakfast with a Stanwell 198.
