So I picked up 8oz on the first release last year and it's been sitting in a jar since. Cracked it last night to try out, dried it out for half the day to a pretty good crisp state........this stuff just didn't want to burn or stay light for me worth a damn. How do you prep it?

I dumped it out maybe half way of frustration and packed a bowl of Daughters and Ryan TAPS VIP. Much more enjoyable, regret not stocking up on it when it was available.

I had a one year old batch of 150th that came very dry and never encountered a lighting problem. I purchased another paint can a few months back and have noticed doing more relights. ”Nuking” a flake for about 12-15 seconds (depending on atmospherics) and letting it rest for at least 10 minutes more alleviate some of the burn issues. The flavor of this VA is so outstanding that, I am more than willing to “endure” relights.

I do a mostly cube cut and rub out a little finer over the top. And, yes, this is a blend that tastes great crunchy.

Elsa decided that I needed a half day off. Who am I to say no to that?! I’m taking advantage of the extra time with Eight State Burley in a MM Legend. 75 degrees with 85% humidity on the porch this afternoon. Looks like @FurCoat is getting drenched in his part of the state.

Man did it rain. Luckily not much wind. It's going to be muuuugy tomorrow.

@FurCoat I smoked some St. Bruno Ready Rubbed in my clay pipe yesterday; not smoked anything today!

The weather cooled today. My wife and I took advantage and spent the morning and afternoon under the gazebo, she repotting plants and me, doing the Tribune crossword.
After a luncheon snack of juicy nectarine and plum slices, I had cut for her and me, I had a big bowl of one of my mixtures (Sutliff 515 RC, Gandalf and Hogwarts Cyprian Latakia, and D&R Ramback), in my 1988 Peterson Sherlock Holmes Smooth Original. Life is good!

Back home after running errands. Smoked a couple of bowls of Jim’s A Blend in a three quarter bend smooth 1985 Dunhill Chestnut 5202 with a cumberland saddle stem.
