***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***

[JimInks]

You sure it was Rio Bravo and not El Dorado? ; P

No kidding. Leigh Brackett was a writer on both of them. If you compare those to movies to The Big Sleep, which Brackett was called in write when William Faulkner was too drunk to continue, you'll see a couple scenes and dialogue that she later revamped for the other two movies.

Loving me some Watch City Rouxgaroux this evening. Love this stuff

About a third of a bowl left of Wilke No. 78 in a smooth straight brown 1949 Yello- Bole Century Model Lovat with a nickel band accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

Now smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in a straight smooth brown undated pre-republic Peterson Shamrock 263 Canadian with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite p-lip stem. Taking a short break to feed Suzy and Molly, and the outdoor feral cats.

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and my last smoke of the day is SWRA in a straight black sandblast undated Savinelli Hercules 115EX pot with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Reading baseball box scores.

@marconi I've never smoked plug in my clay pipes. I enjoyed the Full Virginia Flake I got from @tozert and yourself; I feel that Gawith flakes are well suited to clay pipes!
I won't be buying any more St Bruno Flake due to its excess plastic packaging.

I’ll be interested to hear what you discover with your research.

Maybe we should all try this

ARE YOU A SUPERTASTER?​

To find out, put blue food coloring on your tongue. Blue dye doesn’t stick to taste papillae, so if your tongue doesn’t get very blue, you’re probably a supertaster. The bluer it gets, the greater the chance you are a subtaster.

I’m pretty sure I’m not a super taster, I don’t think I’m even in the mildly impressive league.

Morning all, I just finished some Blockade Runner in the Kaywoodie Campus squat bulldog and moving on to Father Dempsey in a Wilmer billiard

Back to back bowls of Balkan Blue and FMOTT (while watching WEC 6 hours at Monza).
My tasting notes on this bowl of Balkan Blue almost exactly mirror Jiminks review, but that's only after the tin has four years age. Tasting notes from when the tin was new put it as being much more Latakia forward and much less sweet.

FMOTT was almost disappointing after a bowl of perfectly aged Balkan Blue, but the Frog was still good in its own right (still consistently sweet and savory).
