***What Are You Smoking, March 2021?***

[Birddog66]

Having my first ever bowl of D&R Cockstrong in a Dunhill 6103 Root. It's odd, it's not really all that strong as in the GH&Co sense of nic hit but its fuller flavored. And it doesn't taste at all like cock....no, not that cock. I've never tasted that one. It's true! Even with all my prison talk, that was just jokes. I mean the bird one potty brain. So I am confused by the name. No poultry taste and not much of a nic hit. Not sure why I thought it would taste like full flavored Rooster. After all, C&D's Bayou Morning doesn't taste like a swamp. Dan Tobacco's Salty Dog doesn't taste like cooked dog right out of the ocean (thank you for that nightmare Cambodia) and Samuel Gawith's Perfection doesn't taste like Kate Beckinsale dipped in honey so I guess a simpleton like me needs to stop taking these names literally.

I’m pretty sure Perfection is more like Charlize Theron. Oh crap, I hope my girlfriend doesn’t read that. It’s like you darling, really.....

Some Regents Flake in a eagle claw meer before I hit the sack.
I’ve been watching The Walking Dead, I’m surprised some of these people made it through life before it went all Zombie (although I noticed no one calls them that) still, good fun though. A quick hint if this ever actually happens- dig some ankle breaks, then you just have crawlers, although I’m sure they’ll suss that out in the next episode.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, barramundi, green beans and asparagus dinner with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. Speaking dessert, I'm now smoking Wilke Beta Test #3XYZC in a 2016 quarter bend Royal Meerschaum lattice calabash meer with a black, gold and cream swirl amber colored acrylic tapered stem. I can't what this blend (or the others I got today) is as of now, but it sure is sweet! A cup of hot tea is my drink.

PS Luxury Twist Flake in a Ryan Alden Military Mount. I’m glad I bought a bunch of this in 2014. Some of my first big bulk purchases, but I didn’t really care too much for it and have regretted buying it. Flash forward 6 years. Age has been good to this blend. Very good.
