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

[JimInks]

Second bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a MM unplastered Diplomat apple. I'm enjoying these Wilke blends...by the way, @jiminks , is "Wilke" pronounced with the final 'e' sounded ("wilk-ee"), or is it "Wilk" (rhymes with 'silk')?

The No. 111 blend packs and burns like a champ - after a false light and a second one with tamp, I haven't needed to do anything to keep it going, except a light tamp occasionally. Good stuff!

"Wilke" pronounced with the final 'e' sounded ("wilk-ee")!

Glad you like the No. 111. It's a fav of mine.

I am liking it - next up this evening is a bowl of Surbrug's Crystal Palace. I also like supporting a blender who's carrying on an American piping tradition. Do you know why John Brandt's no longer making Bohemian Mixture?

No idea on that. I don't recall Carole selling it either.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad and chili dinner with strawberries for dessert. Now smoking Cobblestone Whiskey in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow saddle stem with white swirls. Going to be reviewing this blend as I will the other four Cobblestone blends I received today.
