Germain's Special Latakia Flake in a Rad
It blends surprisingly good with Latakia blends as well.
Thanks @Speak Easy ,
Im really enjoying it so far and would absolutely do another.
Hope you’re having a great weekend.
You remind me - I have some of that flake aged in a jar that I seldom smoke - it's very lovely and I don't want it to run out! Ah, the dilemma.
At Madre’s having some well aged Bayou Morning and sweet tea with moonshine with my step dad on the back porch after cooking the family a dish for dinner that comes from where my mom raised me, we had low country boil.
The past few times I have come over, I’ve brought a couple pipes and a few tobaccos and let my step dad pick through them and choose one, which we would then smoke. Well the past couple times I’ve come over he takes the first opportunity to go outside and wait on the porch for me. It’s cracking my mom and I up.
He’s one of those really reserved older guys where trying to get him to say he enjoyed something is like pulling teeth. He would never admit it, but he wouldn’t be able to make it more obvious if he put up a billboard. He is waiting with bated breath to have that next bowl!
We are conspiring to get him a cob for Father’s Day. I’ve very much enjoyed introducing him to piping.
Out of Mac Baren London Blend, C&D awakened elder and bayou morning, he chose bayou morning, to my surprise. Even more surprising is my mom liked the tin note.

Solani Silver Flake from 2012 in an old Peterson from the late 1930s.
I agree with Speak Easy
I did the simply red/BCA mixture and it worked for me , tamed the red and mellowed it out. The simply red dried out the BCA to smoke drier.
Thanks, @Backwoods Briar and I hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying that gorgeous Radice up in that beautiful
Part of America.
Enjoyed wonderful company this afternoon. Just great people. While they were here, I smoked a bowl of 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.
Then, I smoked a bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
I followed that up with a bowl of Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a smooth medium bend terracotta Peterson POY 2023 X160 464/1100 military mount egg with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
Currently, I am a third of the way through this bowl of 2015 Mac Baren Modern Virginia in a medium bend, smooth dark brown 1950s Peterson 999 Shamrock chubby Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Braves-Mets game starts before long.

It’s a Honduran house blend from my local B&M. Really tasty and fairly reasonable for Canada. I buy some of these because I normally get all of my tobacco from the US or elsewhere and like to support them where I can.
Prewar Pre-Republic 363 (made in England) full of Irish Flake
I was actually thinking the same thing. I think you're on to something here.
Smoked some 2017 Haunted Bookshop in this Nording Woodcock to start my day. They go very well together
Big cigar out back this afternoon. Will come back to pipes but maybe not till later/ after another cigar.
So nice to be back outside again. Biggs agrees
