*** What Are You Smoking?*** (May 2016)

[JimInks]

Part way through this bowl of Heine's Blend in the very first pipe I ever smoked (which was my father’s pipe), a late 1950s smooth with etched grooves straight Willard long stem adjustomatic Canadian with a black vulcanite stem.

Packed my ONLY Dunhill with Chatham this a.m. The pipe is a 1954 #656 group 4 shell with replaced stem by Howard Shulte.

Just finishing GQ Breakfast Blend in a 1970s small bowl smooth medium bend Danish Sovereign 324 volcano sitter with a black vulcanite stem.

 

[newbroom]

I made a mix last night consisting of McClelland's perique, lat, C&D lat, Va Flake, Izmir, Dark Burley.

I'd let the Chatham go out after half a bowl, and now am employing the Dunhill to smoke this delicious concoction.

I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup, no scales, and varying amounts of each 'flavor'.

The base is one to one Mc's Lat and C&D dark burley.

If you're blending, these McClelland tobaccos are smooth as silk. The C&D tobaccos are rich and strong.

Put em together and what have you got?
