***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

[ThermionicScott]

PS Cube Cut in my burley cob. It had some burns and gouges around the rim from its previous life, so I decided to (crudely) top and bevel it a little.



After being kind of meh on this blend, I’m starting to come around on it. It does really well on windy days.

GLP Union Square in a Peterson Dracula 80s.

Last smoke of the day is more 2020 OJK Blue. This time I am enjoying it in an Imp meer. It is too nice of a night out not to enjoy it even though the lady 2 doors away is drunk and loud

 

[das3353]

Hey is Navigator a flake, broken flake, or ribbon?

The tin I have is somewhere between flake and broken flake.

 

[Bananacaravanadium]

Peterson Flake in the Vauen Patina to end the day.

 

[Bbailey324]

Cleaned a few pipes and now smoking SWRA in a Kaywoodie Shellcraft. It probably needs cleaning too but that will be another day.

 

[Speak Easy]

@Speak Easy Do you think it would suit the King's Clay? Gonna get another clay and some loose Gawith Hoggarth to smoke in it when I go to Buxton again!

For sure!

 

[rsshreck32]

Wilke Wall Street in a Peterson Irish Harp Lovat tonight.

 

[JSPiper71]

First pipe in a few days. Been a little sick with a head cold, so took a break. Went with some 2016 PS LBF in my Peterson Shell-Meer. Hopefully back on track.

What do you think of this blend? I have a fair bit tucked away and enjoy it quite a bit but only open a tin once in a while.

I like this and find it quite smokable. However, I don’t find the sweet notes which makes a Virginia attractive to me, so I may not buy any more when the two tins I have are finished. In summary… like it but not love it to get more.

Just opened this tin of 2005 MB Stockton Roll Cake found at a B&M a couple months ago. At the time I didn't realize it was that old though I did notice the label was a bit bleached out. Seal was sound and dark rich coins inside! 4 coins, folded and stuffed in my Radice Rind for first go with Stockton.

Love that, and all Radices! Doesn’t sound right but grammatically correct I guess.

It's a sleeper. I'm glad you're coming around to it, it's one of the good ones in my opinion.
