Finally I can smoke! Ive loaded some HU Makhuwa in an Il Ceppo
Im not usually a burley fan but this stuff is really good!
I guess this would be considered anromatic since it has a chocolate topping. Its not overwhelming or goopy.

Rain rain go away!
Last of a tin of Sam's Flake in the '34 Barlings Make S-M.
It dawned on me this morning what I love so much about Sams Flake. Obviously I enjoy Gawith Virginias and Tonquin but there's something else.
It hit me - I remember being very young, maybe 5 or 6, and opening a package of RedMan chew and smelling it. That is what Sams Flake reminds me of.
I haven't encountered RedMan in my adult life so I don't know how accurate it is - but it appeases my memory.

The Nuttens/Ropp totally exceeded my expectations. Clean briar, open draw, and a really nicely cut stem with a deeply funneled slot. Shank is a slight oval, fairly unusual that way. Smoked beautifully from the get go.
Been eyeing a couple of his AAA handmades
Now filling the old Dunhill E17 again. With Mac Baren Virginia No.1 from 2017 again...
A very fine combination as long as the Mc B. No.1 is not to dry.

I only loaded half or less of the Makhuwa to sample. Now Im haveing a sample of HU Edward G. Tomorrow I will crack open the Directors cut. The Edarwad G is good. We will see if it unseats Marlin Flake. Its pretty good...It might. its not quite as sweet but tastes more virginia forward.
Adding....yes this stuff is good. If you are a Marlin flake fan and you order from the EU or are here Edward G is definitely worth bringing home. I will be ordering more. It a little brighter than Marlin flake..a bit more citrus tang from virginias. Still deep and lush fruits come through.

Smoking some Thanksgiving Day in a Rossi Mezzanotte this morning.
Thank you. I agree. I haven't felt this rugged in a fair time. When the clinic tested me for strep, they also did test for Covid-19-it is NOT covid. So I guess there's that to be thankful for. Glad my relatives aren't coming for T-day. Don't think I!ll be feeling very festive. Everyone, be well, and enjoy the week.I feel you there Carol, I’ve not been down like this in a long long time. I hope you recover quickly
Cabbies Mixture in a Peterson 3s with some Black Tea. Cold and rainy out there today!
Listen to your lungs my friend. Feel better soon.
Those are some VERY nice gifts ya got there man!
Peterson University Flake in a reg’d era Stanwell 90.
Took a break from my roughly semi-annual screening of 13 Hours (still angry) to have a smoke
tending to the horses.

Praying for you to fully recover soon so you're not feeling bad on Thanksgiving.
Prayers that you recover soon!
New @doug535 Author and a little Blue Note since I’m listening to jazz in the garage. Substantial and beautiful! 
Another bag of rubbish this morning & dropped a bag of recycling off in Newbold. Meal & 2 pints of real ale at the Little Castle in Duckmanton; no issues with buses today
Got money off vouchers for my food & beer, had a hot chocolate in my reusable cup on the way home and got a homeless man in Chesterfield one in his re-used take-out cup. Another plastic free day today!
