***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

Bayou Morning Flake work break. The 70s is not supposed to be a good decade for Dunhills, possibly due to briar shortages. However, this ‘76 Dunhill smokes great, I like it better then my ‘61.

Good evening all.

Tonight I'm enjoying some Mac Baren Navy Flake in an Altinay Meerschaum Poker.

Happy smoking

The whole time you’ve used that abbreviation I’ve not known what it is.
What is JC DB?

Sorry I’m lazy, John Cotton Double Pressed Kentucky. It’s a cake but it rubs out into more like a flake. From my experience, most cakes rub out into a ribbon. I don’t tend to like ribbons with some big exceptions like Esoterica ribbons. It’s also nice and dry, but I still dry it further, then it smokes itself, creamy, billows of smoke, high nic strength level which is pretty important to me. Unlike some, I love nicotine and it’s part of why I smoke.

C&D Black Frigate in Savinelli 606KS. I like this blend. Taste to me like very sweet latakia, with alcohol flavor.

Nice, I need to get back into Puerh, I have a ton of it and several nice yixing pots, but since I started with a pipe, I only seem to want coffee but I miss my gongfu ritual. What kind of Puerh, if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking it might be leftover hops and barley from Jimmy Carter's Dead-brother's PIlsner, Billy Beer, since it was made in Louisville, Kentucky. Thankfully, I was wrong.

Up at bat is Lane's 1-Q. A legendary tobacco. Dare I say that any serious pipe smoker has to have had some experience with 1-Q? From all my reading, it seems that this is a foundational tobacco. Smoking very nice in my Talamona Sabbia.
