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

[EssJaySea]

Finishing off the early afternoon with parts of the paper and Fr. Dempsey in a bent Meer. Makes for a cool smoke.

Before preparing dinner, having some Montford Point Marine in Country Gent with a bottle of Red Stripe. Really wish this stuff came in bulk or at least 8 oz tins.

good night all, Salty Dogs in a Ron Powell

Just tried Mac Baren Old Dark Fired for the first time. Dang. Just, dang. I don't know why it took me so long. This is an instant favorite and obviously a somewhat inimitable classic.
Can I get a hell yeah for Per Jensen?

Yeah, it’s not too shabby.

Having a bowl of C&D Seersucker.

Sounds like my three cats. They're plotting my death and my two dogs just love me for my recliner.

I hear you there, I feel more owned than owner, even though he’s the neediest creature I’ve come across. He’s getting lots of treats tonight for getting me that Barling though.

 

[Sloopjohnbee]

Just had a second bowl of Sarto
The Perique is there - it gives a baking chocolate and cinnamon with the Dark Fired
Sip this one - don't let it burn too hot - it will 'bite' like the canine on the tin?

Preparing to hit the sack with Ogden’s Original Walnut in the Jima and drinking a bottle of Bishops Finger. Don’t ask what a Bishops Finger smells like...?

Late afternoon MM Cob with St. Bruno RR. Will finish the day with GL Pease Sixpence in an Upshall sandblast Bulldog with smooth rim and saddle stem.

McClelland Tawny Flake in a Stanwell 86.

@sablebrush52 I'm down to the last two bowls or so in the tin. Having been open for 17 months, it's now at a perfect dryness!

Drying in the tin this slowly almost seems more like a "curing" than drying. All of the initial MC red difficulties have vanished. As long as a civilized cadence is maintained, it is an impeccable smoke.

Thanks again!

You're welcome!
Some years back I found a couple of boxes of SG St James Flake that I had forgotten about. They had been sitting for 2 years and the contents had dried down to a perfect smoking moisture. I jarred the flakes and after another 5 years have started enjoying them. They have aged to perfection, with a beautiful sweetness to the Virginias. I think the slow drying did some good.

@JimK I've smoked a few packets of St. Bruno Ready Rubbed in my clay pipes!

Going to down another clay pipe of Erinmore!

That has to be the worst name for an ale, but the pipe is gorgeous. A work of art.
