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

[JimInks]

A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2008 Dunhill My Mixture 965 in a 2002 Ser Jacopo Delecta Fatta A Mano R1 sandblast Rhodesian with a smooth extension at the shank with a military mount and a black acrylic tapered stem. Have enough left for another bowl or two. This should get me to dinner time.

PS cube cut in a Pete meer. I hadn't cracked the cube cut in a long time. Had some this week and darned if I don't just keep going back to its simple pleasure. Drinking a Real Ale Brewing tripel. Good day.

Thanks, I'm determined to get some PS 41!

Just starting my first bowl of Windjammer in my trusty Sav 320KS. the Virginia component is quiet akin to Union Square, one of my favorites. So far, it seems like another Pease hit.

Two successive bowls of C&D Three Friars in a Falcon blasted bantam Dublin. Great stuff, but I must puff gently. Is this a characteristic of C&D burleys? This is the only blend of theirs I smoke with a burley presence.

There are so many factors in a tobacco smoking hot - moisture content, puff rate, the pipe - maybe even barometric pressure! My Davidoff Medallions were heating up, but moisture content was a little high. I have really needed to use my pick to loosen and tamp this. Then too, I have it in a panel pipe. It may be total myth, but it seems to me that panel shaped pipes smoke hotter. So hard to select a single cause let alone blame the tobacco.

Earlier today MacBaren Navy Flake, and now Star of the East Flake. Navy Flake is rapidly becoming my favorite tobacco.

Tonight it’s dark birds eye with a little BCA sprinkled in in a Chris Morgan bones bent poker. Last night was the newest batch of GC’s Boneyard. I needed to spend $15 to get free shipping so I bought a pound. It’s a nice mellow English that’s well balanced between the Latakia and Oriental tobaccos. Definitely money well spent.

I'm basically a va and va/per guy with the occasional foray into burleys. Sutliff burleys are very sweet and gentle(Edgeworth match) and I find,so far, that the burley in TF is a little rough edged. Thanks for the response.

Granger in a Falcon with rusticated Genoa bowl. I have to admit this stuff is growing on me. I dried it by leaving it in a zip lock that wasn't perfectly sealed for a week. The topping has receded and it's nice with black coffee.

Report please. How is it? I once mixed Mac Baren Old Dark Fired and Navy Flake. Both were better separately.

I have been smoking this fairly often, and I quite like it. The nicotine delivery from the Rustica slows down, still packing a strong punch but manageable. Instead of the harsh acrid taste of Rustica, it now tastes pleasantly sweet from the Exotic Passion. Quite good ?
