Mac Baren Vanilla Flake 2021

Monday, May 1, 2023
8:44 PM

Smoked in Peterson X105 short

Extremely dry out of the tin

Spicy

More Virginia than cavendish

Not much vanilla

A little rough/harsh retro and taste

Smoke is very irritating to eyes

Few if any relights
Soo
More than average gurgle

Pleasant room note

Pleasant mustache note

Do not return to
Sorry to hear so dry and didn't play nice. I've been really happy with my vanilla flake.. is there a good way to rehydrate a little and then stove some to see what magic that may work?

So I fetched the Peretti Crown and tossed it together with some C&D Mocha about 50/50, put it in the Falcon Meer and.. it works! Homemade English Mocha. Will put a little more of each together and let them meld a bit in a jar. I think it is nice when can make/save a blend for one's tastes. puffy

Close to finishing this bowl of Wilke Surbrug’s Golden Sceptre in a late 40s, early 50s straight black sandblasted Wagner British Thorn 495 (Comoy’s second) pot with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Finished work for the day.
