Mellowing out with my self-designed “Melrose Abbey” Altinok (thanks to @doug535 for getting me a proper stem) - my sweetie let me know I was a grumpy Gus this morning and really no reason to be, lol. Will be 94 and humid later so enjoying 74 and breezy in the shade while I can. Oh, with Cult Blood Red Moon.
We Three Kings in the Larus & Brother Dublin with coffee.
HU Joschis Oriental Sunrise in the Charl Goussard dubvat with boar tusk.
Prez Mix in the English cob with a latte, while the kiddo plays in the dirt.
The flavor of this stuff still catches me off guard. It tastes different from any other Virginia/Oriental/Latakia mixture I’ve had thus far, and at first, I assumed there was some kind of caramel/vanilla/cream soda/?? topping on it. But better palates than mine don’t call out a topping, so maybe it’s just the interaction of these particular Orientals with the Virginias. It’s growing on me.

I get some kind of vanilla like topping from Presbyterian as well. I didn’t notice it until I smoked some GL Pease English/Balkans and then went back to Pres.
Sir John's Flake Virginia in an Altinok.

Ha, that is funny. Nutmeg would go for that if she gets a donut.
I set one down , turned my back only to find her trying to decide if she liked Bavarian Cream Filled donut. I didn't give her a chance as it was chocolate frosted- nope, the chocolate be bad 4 her. Probably me too, but the coffee neutralizes it? 
...be well...

Good to hear you’re back home mate, be well
Happy birthday to your son
Sutliff Whimsical in a James Upshall with gold plated, engine turned silver band by Les Wood with a drop of Jura Rum Cask single malt. I wish I’d gotten more of this blend as it’s one of the best VaPers I’ve had, I’m almost through one tin and I think there’s a couple more on the shelf but I’d like a lot more.
