Farm chores are done, kids at the school house. Loaded some H&H Louisiana Red in a Casanova bent egg to enjoy while I process some whole leaf that I've ignored for over a year now.

Today I’m giving my mouth a break from smoking Virginia blends in the wind.

Resting after a big do yesterday, with Standard Mixture in a 40s Root Briar. Perfect outdoor smoking weather!

Fresh Bosun Cut Plug in a MM country gent. Happy to say this batch is well-scented.

I picked up several blends from WCC last week and all were appropriately sauced. The 1792 tins from a few weeks earlier were weak sauce compared to the amount I still have jarred from the mid-late twenty teens.

smoking some Five Brothers

Perhaps my review of EGR will be of help to you.

The smell from a freshly opened tub or tin is entrancing. The nutty, earthy, woody burley also has a touch of molasses as the lead component. The gold Virginia cavendish provides some grass, tart and tangy citrus and few drops of honey as a secondary player. The brown sugary unsweetened black cavendish is a condiment, and has a tinge of vanilla, too. The smoky, woody, earthy sweet Cyprian Latakia isn’t very detectable being only one percent of the blend, but it’s just enough to add nuance to the flavor. I also observe a little fruity plum as well as a red wine topping. There's also a couple pinches of cinnamon present. The strength and nic-hit are a step past the mild mark, while the taste is almost at the center of mild to medium. I’ve never experienced any bite, though I know a few people have. I puff it a little on the slow side for best effect, and I recommend that pace. Has no harshness or rough edges. Burns cool, clean and even at a reasonable rate with avery consistent flavor from top to bottom. Leaves just a little dampness in the bowl. Requires few relights. Has a pleasant, short lived after taste, and room note. An all day mildly aromatic smoke.

Thank you for your description. I want to buy a tub now FR.

It was surprisingly hard to decide what to put in the pipe this morning. Must be the changing weather. Settled on Match Victorian in the Bones Poker with morning coffee and the local news.

Tried to get my smoking partner to look at the camera but she was feeling shy.
Having a bowl of C&D Interlude in a Peterson 2023 POTY. Of course having a cup of coffee with it.
