    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Just woke up from an afternoon nap. A year’s end extended PTO, and the eighth day of restfulness to get right back into the crap for 2024. December 2027 cannot come fast enough. Restocked the active rotational jar of Hal O’ The Wynd and am trying one of those weirdo organic teas that my oldest...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Of all the money that ever I had I spent it in good company And of all the harm that ever I done Alas! It was to none but me And all I’ve done for want of wit To memory now, I can’t recall So fill to me the parting bowl Goodnight, and joy be with you all What sorrows one finds in the parting...

    Start of a busy day, an encounter with some Old Gowrie. The flavorsomeness is starting to progress more deeply and I am loving it!

    Nothing fancy tonight. Just finishing up a commentary on a different Cornell & Diehl blend, so I thought to myself, let’s just keep it in the family, shall we. So, a right tasty sitting with Mr. Billy Budd Blonde in one of my dependable CGs makes perfectly good sense.

    Well, it is now 3:24 pm. I am pleased to report that the day’s meetings are all nicely completed. Seeing that I am on PTO starting tomorrow, why not get ahead of the game I’m thinking. Makes absolutely perfect sense, right? A little straight-up Virginian sweetness to enliven this fine November...

    Finishing the evening listening to this week’s P&C podcast while indulging a Baraccini Bent Dublin filled with 507C. Because the fridge is too full in preparation for the coming TDay feast, I couldn’t grab the 12-pack of my favorite seasonal brew, Yuengling’s Hershey Chocolate Porter. So, I...

    Oh really, wonder what's up? I'll ask and see what they tell me. That Polar X Press looks interesting though. Never had it, I generally just grab the Figgy Pudding and Cordial Friends. Still have some of the latter left from last year.

    Figgy Pudding Available

    Wow seems earlier but I guess it is November. A Xmas classic as well as Cordial Friends which I think is just a tad better. Thanks for the heads up!

    Indulging in a delightful bowl of the Squire’s Yazoo Witch in a new Baraccini Strattura Ebano 344 that I picked up from P&C for a song. Proving to be a nice little pipe for the money. Yazoo Witch is one nice juiced up VaBur worth the smoking.

    What blend will you smoke on Halloween?

    Generally Autumn Evening, Sleeping Hollow but this year the Squire's Yazoo Witch changed my paradigms. Posted a review, I do recommend you try it. Very much a jacked-up VaBur not an aro.

    Oriental forward? (and virginia tips?)

    Definitely Wilke 111, another great Oriental featured blend.
