***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

[F4RM3R]

One of my newest blends. Black stoved Virginia and 40% perique flake. Sprayed with a little tonka bean soaked in bourbon before pressing. I am really digging it.

Surprisingly the perique intensity is mostly in the first quarter of the bowl, and then it mellows out and the creamy, fruity tangy virginia really comes through. The slight touch of tonka amplifies the creamyness and adds some vanilla and cinnamon notes. I'll be making more of this for sure.

Watching Stargirl. Community Coffee is brewing.

You look like a Scottish flake! J/k man it’s a good smoke. Beats old gowrie or even (date I speak it?) HOTW.

It’s a good smoke, I like the amount of KY influence, just my speed. Agree it beats HOTW, not OG tho. Old Gowrie was one of my first loves.
