One flake for you, one flake for me, one flake for you...
GLP Telegraph Hill in a Peterson Christmas 69.
First smoke of WCC FUSTG in a Moonshine long stem Devil Anse.
I've had this blend for about a week now, but have just gotten around to trying it. I had a hard time getting past my perceived jar aroma of:
Thankfully that did not translate at all to the smoke. This is a really nice smooth burley, with a really good vitamin N kick.

2015 Dunhill Dark Flake in my Alden 4 square.
Sutliff 310 in a Cumberland Bent Pot, it's good stuff, I need to find more:
A quarter of the way through this bowl of year 2013 Capstan Blue Flake in a smooth dark brown post-WWII Comoy’s Grand Slam 340 patent billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Abner the Eager was laying on the doormat, so I brought him in to eat, and now he's snoozin' on the couch. Can't remember the last time I saw Abner this hungry.
I’m smoking it again as I type this. Found out tonight that I can’t retrohale this blend.
I’m curious too. I might buy some other brands and give it a try, but I am happy with the C&D. Pipes and Cigars has it in bulk but doesn’t specify what brand. I noticed @BlueRidge purchased a Ryback +P starter kit on a recent TAD post, with both brands of perique. Let us know if you have a preference.
Very windy here also. Stuck in the garage.
WCC FUSTG in a Peterson Donegal Rocky 69. Happy to say my sample does not smell like fish food. I'm getting cocoa and stone fruit notes from my bag.
Don't think I've seen that pipe before. Like it!
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am off to work with a bowl of Wilke No. 111 in a straight smooth medium brown 2016 Brigham Klondike 16 bulldog with a tapered black acrylic stem.
Been smoking. Not posting. Figured it was time on a beautiful evening on porch watching playoff hockey/bball. Bought some new WCC so need to smoke the old. WCC Old Black Magic in a LCS briar. 
Now smoking 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. Going to finish this Archie story tonight, and fill in the black areas. I'll touch up pages tomorrow. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Working and listening to The Lone Ranger from my radio collection.
Haunted Bookshop Cake in a Pete SPD 2011 69. 
Did a little low calorie snacking, and am smoking Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite. Going to fill in black areas on the Archie pages now. Molly Danger came out to keep us company because no ferals were inside. She's hungry for attention, which she got from both of us. Sleepy Suzy watched and was so interested in the proceedings that she went to sleep.
Plum Pudding in a baby Compact model Jobey #105 sandblasted bent billiard with saddle stem.
And last, Granby Station in a Balandis blue stained bent Dublin with military mount tortoiseshell stem.
OJK in a Savinelli Tortuga 673KS.
Now smoking the last of this tub of year 2020 D&R Raccoon’s Delight in my very reliable smooth straight post-1938 pre-Republic Peterson Sterling Canadian 263 with a sterling silver band and a tapered black vulcanite p-lip stem. I'll revisit the blend one of these days. The next Raccoon blend I open will be Raccoon's Accent. The pages are drying, so I've the rest of the night off.
