***What Are You Smoking? January 2020.***

The Ferndowns I own (5-6 pipes I think) are all much heavier than anything he did for Dunhill. All are thick walled and heavy for the size. I am not criticizing this, it’s just an observation based on my small sampling of his work.

i was just making a very corny joke - “Les Wood” —-> “less wood”

No worries. It’s a good pun. I probably would benefit for some needed sleep. ?

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, halibut and sugar snap peas dinner with orange slices for desert. Now smoking Ken Byron Ventures Bright Star in a 1970s smooth slight bent rough top Charatan's Make (Lane) Perfection Deluxe Extra Large with right and left channel cuts and a black double comfort vulcanite stem. Watching Nature on PBS.

Haven't tried #20 yet but #25 and Balkan Mixture were great, imho, so I imagine #20 should be as well. Most G&H blends like a little drying time so I'd recommend letting it sit out a bit even if it seems good to go. If for some reason you don't love it at first puff, give it a week or so and try again. Welcome to the dark side!☻

I have to say, I'm rather disappointed. I'll give it a few days and try it again, but I didnt care for the flavor.

Had my first bowl of Balkan Sasieni in a sandblast Stanwell 51.
A great tobacco; not to much latakia, not too sweet. Just right.

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2001 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1938 straight black grain relief Dunhill OX Shell bulldog with a silver band repair with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Just finished watching Bullets or Ballots starring Edward G, Robinson, whoever he is?

First ever bowl of MacBaren HH Pure Virginia in a Johs bent apple. Reminds me of FVF actually. Maybe a bit tamer, though this tin came with an October 2018 tin date so it has a touch of age on it.
