***What Are You Smoking, February 2023?***

[ThermionicScott]

Super windy day today. I attempted to finish a bowl of ERR Match but no joy in getting it lit or staying lit, so I dumped it and switched to C&D Visions of Celephais in its MM Hardwood. Ahh, much better. Tons of flavor, and the combustion is probably the best of anything I have open right now. In fact, I have to deliberately snuff it out if I want to delay the rest of the bowl until later!

Victoria is a little sweeter and plummier with a slightly more complex mix of Virginias. 1849 has more perique (25% of the blend) so it's spicier and a little fuller in taste.

I do enjoy the 1849 myself.

The blue's not too bad looking

It’s definitely not something I’d normally go for but thank you nonetheless.

 

[Honkytonk Man]

JimInks, looks like we stirred a few folk to try 1849!

Not sure why it's not more popular...
