Long time coming. In 2016, a member of FTT from Indonesia travelled through remote villages in Timor Leste (East Timor), collecting seeds from plants grown by the locals. There is no formal tobacco industry in these areas.

Viqueque, named after the village it was found in, looked like a flue cured tobacco (a Virginia). I grew it this year, and I cured it in multiple ways.. Air, rajangan, fire, sun, flue, pile. This is sun cured tobacco after being kilned for 2 weeks at 120°F. The sun cure turned out the best.

About a third of a bowl left of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a very much appreciated 1979 brown, slight bend grain etched flat front Stanwell Rego 969-48 (09) with a black vulcanite saddle stem. The outdoor cats kept me awake as they argue over the food I put out for them, even though they have their own plates. Daisy is being very territorial to the other. I'm trying to bring peace to both sides, but it's not working tonight.

MacBaren HH Bold Kentucky in a Savinelli Series III lumberman with Earl Grey. So far in my tea sampling, I like the Earl Grey, but I am afraid the subtleties of plain tea may be lost on me. The Sencha and English Breakfast types haven't done much for me.. Going to try some Lapsang Souchong and Puerh to see if they might have enough flavor my coffee-fried, Luddite palate.

Have you tried PG-Tips? Britain’s best selling brand. It’s a strong blend usually taken the traditional way with milk and sugar (if you like sugar). Zupans used to stock it if I remember correctly. Yorkshire Gold is another good strong British blend (if that’s what you’re looking for) good luck.

Afternoon all, starting with Peterson 2019 special reserve in a Peterson 312. I’ve dried out overnight some Navy Rolls that I painted with rum a week ago. Smells great but it’s gonna need a few more hours I think. So next up is Bobs Choc Flake in the Nording Sailor. I think I’m gonna have a pinch of snuff too , SG Black Arabica (Coffee) up my schnoz.
