How are you liking the Maestro? I picked up one of each of the Toscanos and I'm trying to decide which one to crack open first.
I got two tins of the Concerto, so that's all I've smoked. I really like it, I dry it for about half an hour. I know alot of guys think Latakia, Perique, and DFK together is crazy, but it is smooth to me. I get aspects of all the tobacco through the smoke. I think the Latakia is more noticeable at the beginning. It is good, but it doesn't remind me of a Toscano at all.

Had a busy evening (including unexpected company), and didn't have time to post my smokes. Dinner was a salad, a decent size bowl of New England clam chowder, two big French cut pork chops (about three pounds total) and a baked potato with a bowl of Spumoni ice cream for dessert. Currently, I am passing the first third of this bowl of year 2018 Solani 633 in a straight 1954 patent Dunhill 148 Group 3 black shell bulldog made for the France market with a black saddle vulcanite stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Did a bit of snacking, and am passing the first third of this bowl of Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. This blend is Back Bay with much less perique (10%) than the regular Back Bay. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Cleaning a few pipes.
