***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

Pelican in a Danish Stanwell HCA with a Rusty Nail on the side. I made it with Ardbeg 10, which might seem like heresy to some here, but it's the most complex Rusty Nail I've ever had.

The rare latakia smoke - 1960's Balkan Sobranie from a Peterson army mount. Enjoyed with a raw puer and a walk through the woods

Butera Blended flake from 2009 in the Ashton PG xx.

I feel your pain....just got home and cleared the driveway of about 4' inches. Told the wife "I'm not retiring here!"

Love that Stanwell!

Love that Stanwell!

Thank you kindly. A good friend sold it to me unsmoked many years ago. He passed away about 8 years ago, so I think of him each bowl.

Didn't smoke on the commute today due to the road conditions. Enjoying some 965 in a RockworkNYC and sipping a little brandy.

Meandered about the yard a bit, watching the snow and enjoyed a bowl of Crooner in a Heibe billiard.

Haunted Bookshop with some DFK added. The DFK mellows the harshness and adds depth. In a Radice clear

Hey, it’s fun to make the occasional cocktail with a Single Malt. I had a guest order a Rob Roy with Macallan 18. Salud.
The most entertaining was a guy who ordered Louis 13 with ice and coke. He did it just to annoy his brother in law.

Have you had Haunted Bookshop with some age? It mellows a little and gains some sweetness and depth. Your mileage may vary of course.

Yes, the Hawkbill (or donkeynut if you prefer) is/was 84.

A letter, or letters, are the shop code. C= Tabaccheria Corti

Burley Flake #2 dust for me

Yes, for sure, but I don't get that from it. Sometimes I'll add some Latakia instead of the DFK, depending on my mood.

Tootsie roll cocoa goodness. I've got a 2017 vintage on-deck...

Better ingredients do make better cocktails, generally speaking.

I'm good with that.

Some undated Sir Walter Raleigh in the 6002 this evening. I’ve only smoked this a few times, but I’m thinking it might be one of my favorites.
