***What Are You Smoking?*** (November, 2019)

[jttnk]

First time with Old Joe Krantz ina MM 5 Star General. I don’t quite get burley yet. Going slow, not bad but maybe not understanding it yet. To the cellar it goes.

I had a similar journey, just starting to come around to Burley. Vaburs (particularly briar fox, tilbury, and dark flake unscented) helped me get there, now enjoying burley based stuff more and more each time I have it. Solani 656 and HH Burley Flake are faves so far.

If you asked me to eliminate one kind of blend forever, I would still shoot burley right in the brains, but I am coming around to them and enjoying the smokes.

Just how many pipes do you have?

Enjoying HU Balkan Passion in a Peterson's Watson style pipe, 8°C overcast but dry. Tim full of enthusiasm for playing ball, but I don't feel very enthusiastic about much at present, Winter blues or SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder or something.

Thanks Alaskan for the thoughts. I’ll smoke what I like for now and keep experimenting. It’s funny how tastes change. I hated Latakia when I started. Now English is 90% of what I enjoy.
