Four weeks to the day I came down with Covid and things are finally starting to taste normal again. Celebrating with a bowl of Old Dark Fired in a Wiley. Hope to get back to the ancient Velvet comparison soon and post my thoughts.
Just finished a second 1/2 bowl of capstan Blue in my new Vauen Olaf Bent Egg. I understand the attraction to flake tobacco now. It lasts a long time if packed loose and smoked slow and rubbed out and dried first. I'll be getting more in future but maybe with less nicotine ! ?
Navy flake in my new Pete Deluxe 20s. Nice small clincher for slow smoking flake.

PS41 Cube Cut in a Clark Layton Dublin with a Monday Night Brewing Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale on the side. This is one of the samples I just got in. I’ve been looking for something besides hard-to-find blends to stock up on. 
@reloader ,
Country Squire creates the Whatever blend in their shop as they fill orders. Any scant amounts from an order get put in the Whatever jar. They sell it at a great bargain.

Try a little bit of WHATEVER! $3.10 per ounce! As we blend tobacco throughout the day, we regularly have leftovers at the bottom of the bowl. What do we do with the scraps? They go in the Whatever jar! A little of this, a little of that. You just never know what you're going to get. And...

I just finished that smoke. Very smooth, Lightly sweet with hints of Coco maybe some vanilla. A subtle aromatic, not overdone, but hey it’s not a blend it’s “whatever”, you gotta say it with an Italian accent for fun.
They included a nice thank you note as a first time customer- handwritten. I appreciate those types of personal gestures.
I called them this afternoon while I was smoking Whatever blend. Told him how much I liked the hand written note and how much I liked the Merriweather and Whatever blend I was smoking. He told me that it changes week to week. It’s kind of like Russian roulette with bulk tobacco.?
Last bowl for the night. Irish flake in a Kurt Balleby small blast pipe. 
Brown Clunee in a MM Emerald and a pour of Russell’s Reserve 13 year. Need a drink after seeing the estimate to replace the turbo on my daughter’s V.W.
Have a great weekend, y’all. Cheers!

Next sample up is Sutliff 507c Virginia Slices in a Moretti Elunium “55” with another Monday Night Brewing Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale on the side.
HBS in the little meer. Been a busy day. Good to relax a bit.
