I came across an experiment that I fooled around with a couple years ago & tossed in a jar. I forgot about it till I came across the jar today.
Carter Hall ‘fortified’ with Cotton Boll. I may have mixed it 2/3 CH and 1/3 Boll, but maybe only 20% Boll. I don’t recall & didn’t mark that on the jar. - Today I tried a half bowl of it smoked in a small Genod bent billiard. As you can imagine this is extreme in the nicotine department. I find Boll to have a harsh unpleasant taste but that aspect seems to have mellowed over the last couple years. But it’s still there in the background. This experiment resulted in CH at least as strong as the plug & rope tobaccos I enjoy, but falls far short in the taste department. So back in the jar it goes.

A third of the way through this bowl of D&R Windsail in a smooth straight dark brown family era “Canadian” by Sasieni with a black tapered vulcanite stem. Working in the studio.
Packed for later today, PS Amsterdam in a Johs smooth semi-rusticated Lovat, but a Lovat with a notably short shank, not the traditional Canadian type with a long shank. I believe PS has discontinued this blend. A slightly rarified Saturday smoke.
