After coppicing some hazels, Peterson's Irish flake in the Butz-Choquin Balzac Duette, with the churchwarden stem. And rooibos tea for accompaniment. A happy Fat Tuesday to those who celebrate

My own blend of Two Timer and my homegrown Virginias in a pipe I made. Tried to smile, but it made me look like a big goofy goober, ha ha.
Getting home to prep for tonight’s wave of storms.

Smoked HU Janenman Flake today after lunch. I don't know if it's due to my usual Latakia dominated smoking habits or just the fact that I have an inexperienced or brutish palate but I just can't seem to get any flavour from this blend. If I close my eyes, concentrate and sip very slowly then I can get a hint of flavour but that's about it. I think I need to try a stronger va/per. Would Hal O the Wynd or Marlin Flake be a bolder choice?
I’m trying Country Squire’s Cherokee in a MM Legend cob. So far, it’s proving to be an excellent use of my time and money well spent.
Earlier, I did a set of walking reps, and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.
Then, I smoked a bowl of undated McCranies Red Flake in a straight smooth brown post-WWII Derby Natural Grain billiard (Sasieni) with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
And I'm finishing a bowl of year 2020 Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced in a pre-1940s straight smooth brown Sutliff St. James (Comoy’s) spiral billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Finally got much of what I had to do done today.

Now smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I usually smoke this earlier in the day, but I decided to wait until now so I could relax with it for a while. The only feral who didn't show up today was Abner the Eager.
Thank you so much for all the info! I'll check out Davidson Tea and also look for a tea shop nearbyI discovered Pu’erh tea at a local tea shop when they had some brewed up for customers to try. If you have a local tea store, that would be a great place to start. If not, there are many offerings on line.
You could get some ripe Pu’erh packaged in tea bags or a couple ounces of loose leaf.
Here is a good article on types of Pu’erh.
I usually buy a pound of it loose from Davidson Tea. I buy the small pressed cakes from a local Herb and Tea store like the one I posted yesterday.
Raw vs. Ripe Pu-erh: What's the Difference?
What is pu-erh? Pu-erh is an aged, partially fermented tea. In China, what westerners typically refer to as black tea is called red tea, with black tea referring only to teas such as pu-erh that are fermented and aged. The tea is named after the city of Pu-erh in Yunnan province. Bordering Laos...artfultea.com
Numi brand makes good tea as well.
Well I'm looking for strong coffee and even stronger tobacco this morning after my late night of cricket. Australia have been bundled out in the semi final but I'm ok with that as its largely a second string team and India have been afforded to much free reign in this tournament but that's for another discussion. So it's Black Irish X Twist in a Pete and coffee, lots of coffee.

Went to the city today for several errands and I’m finally back home and the Deer & Birds are chowing down on their feed and it’s now time for a long overdue smoke.
