This is more properly what am I yet to smoke. Against a background of 50gr of anything decent costing upwards of $125 in Australia, I have acquired a bargain stash from @sunriseboy which ought to last a while. From the first batch, I've tried and enjoyed Butternut Burley and Western Sunrise. A nice courier brought a second batch today, consisting of almost 400gr of 515 RC-1 and 100 gr 505C. Haven't had time to smoke them yet, but reviews and pouch aroma are v.promising. There was also 100gr Amsterdamer Fijne Snede, 100gr PA and 65gr VA#1. Knowing that was coming, I splashed $125 last week on SG Blending Latakia, and have mashed up "Richard Blend" which I hope will smoke like a mild to moderate English. Tonight will tell!

Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am almost a third of the way through this bowl of 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. Going to finish this Archie story tonight.

I hope all you fathers had as great a day as I.
My daughter, son-in-law, grandkids, my wife and the pups had a glorious cook-out, under the gazebo, of brats and burgers. A few bottles Guinness were properly consumed. And, my wife made me a Key Lime pie. I closed the evening with a Cuban Cohiba Robusto.

Great to see you back bnichols23; stay well!

Close to finishing this bowl of Feuerwachter Enterprises Red Virginia Ribbon in a very small slight bent black sandblasted Smokers Forum.UK 2015 POTY Chris Askwith Prince 5 with a tapered black acrylic stem with a flared bit.

Awesome stuff, from a fellow Aussie. ?

It really was a great deal compared with our retail prices, kudos to sunriseboy puffy


Don’t tell me, I’m not the only one who gets his jars from Coles. ?

Finished that assignment, and will have free time on my hands until the next job. I'm half way through this bowl of Wilke Peanut Butter in a 1980s black sandblasted slight bend Savory’s Argyll 281 Cherrywood with a black vulcanite tapered stem. Reading baseball box scores.

I am loving Richard Blend. There is enough Virginia in the VA#1 and Amsterdamer to produce distinctive new mown grass taste, enough Kentucky in the Amsterdamer - together with PA’s Burley - to add sweetness, and enough Latakia to give the whole a mild smokiness. Perhaps a tad more Latakia might have been good. A little over 300gr left. In a Dutch Amphora with a 9mm balsa filter. (And yes, @Brendan N , all of @sunriseboy’s stashes have been decanted into jars from Coles ? )

Good morning, C&D Cube Cut Burley in a cob with a coffee to go, hopefully this will get me to work on time. I'm running a little late this morning getting out the door. I'm glad Monday's only come around once a week:)
