***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***

[rsshreck32]

WCC Rouxgaroux. To me, tastes like the smell of a mug of Glühwein (made using blueberry wine) sitting next to a wood bowl holding stewed plums or something. It's like a way better version of Sutliff's 2022 Cringle Flake to me. I like it way better than most VA/pers I have tried, but it still doesn't make me love them the way many others seem to (though, I don't dislike VA/pers; I just much prefer VA to be straight, VA/bur, or mixed with oriental). Though I do appreciate it being more generally spicy/spiced as opposed to just peppery, as well as only being lightly spicy and heavier on the more fruity and woody aspects.

Have you tried Watch City's Simply Red? I recommend you give that a try! It's scheduled to be released again in January. It's a straight Virginia and is actually a component of Rouxgaroux.

Earlier I had some Burley Flake #1 in a MM Diamondback. No drying this time, flavors were similar but I didn't get the harsh notes I got when dried, even when I pushed it. View attachment 258969

Thanks for the update!
I'll be continuing to smoke straight from the tin, then.

Put this #10 to work today, Pegasus X2 and now 2015 Laurel Heights.

Close to finishing this bowl of year 2020 Sam Gawith Best Brown Flake in a straight smooth brown 1933-1945 Comoy’s patent Grand Slam 159 *4 apple with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Spent a lot of time stopping Tomato the Brave and some extent, Daisy the Feral Princess from bullying Abner the Eager and Sam the Scamp. As Tomato has become more emotionally tight with me, that attitude has made him more of a bully to the other cats, even to Daisy who he grew up with.
