***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

[smknron]

I'm starting this 1st of September with some of my own made, pressed Virginia plug . It's made with some Red Virginia, Bright Virginia, and a small amount of Burley leaf. It's not aged very long at all , 8 months, but the flavors are very nice with the classic hay and fruit. I'm smoking it in an unstamped billiard pipe. I'll be sure to share some pictures soon.

I'm smoking Delhi-34 rajangan in a Peterson "K".



Let me explain. Delhi-34 is a Canadian flue cured (Virginia) tobacco that was developed at the government agricultural research station in Delhi Ontario, Canada back in the 50s (or 60s?). I sun cured it "rajangan" style which is the method mostly used in Indonesia where they shred yellowed, uncured tobacco, and let the shred cure in the sun. It's not as sweet as if it was flue cured, but much more bright in flavour than if it was air cured. Being less than a week old, it's enjoyable, but fairly intense.

Breaking for lunch. A sandwich and a cold Dab beer should see me through to supper time. Since its September I am moving onto a bowl of Warrior Plug.
