Whew it’s been a busy busy weekend going to birthday parties and spending time with my special lady friend but I’ve had a lot of fun. Surprisingly not hungover today when thinking about the amount of tasty beverages I imbibed yesterday lol.

Anyways I’m easing into Sunday morning watching the TDF with a bowl of PS LNF in a Rattrays Goblin billiard and a hot cup of coffee ☕IMG_3899.jpeg

Love this thread for discovering new stuff to try! Thanks to several recent "mentions" of this blend (shoutout to @Roach1, @Steddy, @abecox to name a few 🙏) I'm trying out Briar Fox right now, in a 2011 Pete SPD (221).

Initial thoughts: definitely enjoying it and I know I'll finish off the tin (no, not tonight! LOL) -- hard to say until later if I'll acquire more. It seems like it might be the perfect blend for when I really don't know what I'm in the mood for -- since nothing really stands out in particular, in a good way. Anyhoo, it's a freshly opened tin, and I expect to "learn more" upon repeat smokes. It's also my first "crumble cake."

Warm Darjeeling tea to drink. 🍵

Edit to add: I usually smoke somewhat more strongly flavored blends, and when I finished this bowl, for the first time I thought to myself, "I could easily smoke a second bowl of that right away." 👍
I'm only a few crumbles into my cake personally but I really dig it so far, it reminds me of Pegasus but with a more balanced Virginia element and not as much of the brown sugar sweetness from the cavensish. Im about to smoke some in a moment myself.

Enjoy the tin, it is filled with unadulterated goodness. Tobacco that tastes honest, a little rustic, a little sweet, earthy, and spicy. If it was an author it would be Hemingway, deceptively simple.
