***What Are You Smoking, January 2022?***

[Carol]

Haven't tried that one. My favorite of the MM so far is the Diplomat Apple. My first cob is a MM Huck Finn, which is a great smoking little cob, and cheap. But it doesn't have a hardwood bottom. The Morgan does, which is what I would replace the Huck Finn with.

Revisiting my McClelland bulks: Fragrant Virginia Blend #5120 and before that, Matured Cake #2020. These tobaccos are veritable treasures.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and snow peas dinner with strawberries and jazz apple slices for dessert. I'm 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. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Got a few chores done, and am watching Wanted: Dead or Alive.

I've never bought rope tobacco. Out of curiosity, could it be smoked as a cigar?

I know a guy who tried it, and got sick before he smoked a third of a stick.

About to smoke some Teds Dubliner in a newly acquired ($20) Edward's 21 Nr. 5 estate. I own another one just like it and I love it. This one is pretty rough but I think it'll clean up to regulation. Rough means break out a Rolling Rock!

What are your thoughts on this blend? One on my list ?

It's tasty. As far as VaPers go, it has a satisfying amount of stewed fruit and peppery bite on the retrohale. It might just be me, but there is a tangy note to it, (maybe a vinegar or something like that) that helps distinguish it from others in class. I don't find much by way of grassy/hay like I do in LBF. The shag cut is dryer and more solid than other shags. It feels like a finely sliced flake instead of a shag...but it's cut to the same dimensions of a shag. It smokes easily, tastes great. I recommend it!

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and have about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2017 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Going to work soon.

First bowl of the night: McClelland Take 6 in a cob
Current bowl: Peterson Nightcap in a cob. I've really been enjoying Peterson Nightcap, look forward to it every night.

SF pipe eh. What group?
I was at Bragg from 80-84 with 2BDE, 325th ABN Infantry.
I love the pipe; who carved it or where did you buy it?
