Hail and farewell, my last of McC's Dark Star, properly prepared in my hand grater for improved burning, in my Kaywoodie Saxon straight blast saddle stem panel billiard. What an excellent Virginia based blend. For solace, I just received all-Virginia Gawith Hoggarth Black Irish Twist X, which I will slice with my metal cigar cutter from Iwan Ries, and prep, for starters anyway, in the same grater. Dark Star, I shall not smoke its like again. Sweet, fulsome complexity.
My wife loves her Lavazza coffee, in a French press pot. I make this for her every morning, while I make my own stove-top percolator brew (alas it must be decaf).
