Smoking some GLP Union Square in a Briarworks cutty.

B-Fee, have a knife just like that one I slice ropes/plugs with. Carbon steel?...

Yes I have several, stainless and carbon. The stainless is easier the upkeep but harder to keep an edge. The carbon can take a wicked sharp edge and holds up . I love it for it's ability to slice the thinnest flakes from a plug. ✌

Hit the nail on the head! And the knives are unbelievably inexpensive... ?

Sir,
Is that an "experiment" plug as I could not find it in any reviews.
In advance.
Thank you

Decided to switch it up tonight. Synjeco Clegir Rope in a MM Little Devil Cutty on my cold ass porch. This Clegir is damn fine stuff.

Absolutely. Super rich, earthy. One of the boldest VAs I’ve ever had. Excellent.

Yes, it's an experiment. I'm not sure what the outcome will be, though.

Thank you hope it works out... for all.

Klondike Gold in a Savory's Ludlow Dublin.

I like Klondike gold, it's sad when an enjoyed blend goes the way of the Dodo bird but encouraging to read people are striving to create new loved blends.

Listing this early: Wilke No. 44 in a 1970s slight bend black sandblasted English Rustic 120S Billiard (Comoy’s second) with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

For Ken, actually. I'm just being a taste tester and giving feedback. A couple of others guy do that for him as well.
