HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed. He'll either convert after that, or never smoke again. As they say in sales, qualify your prospects early. Whether he's in or out, it'll be a legendary way to start. 🪦 Tombstone

No this isn't about blending Cube Cut with Sun Bear (gotcha!) It is about the power of PS41 to both lure and dissuade a 300lb black bear. I only smoke Huck Finn style - outdoors and solo. Sometimes this takes place in my neighborhood cemetery (hence the name Tombstone Smoker) or sometimes in...

Where did you get the Wilke 515? Thanks, TS

523 AM PDT here. Still pitch black. 66 degrees. Sitting outside and working my way through a cob of John Patton's Virginia Squire with Seattle's Best Portside, from a hotel sample bag. I use those as emergency back ups if I run out. Good stuff!

Hail from North Vancouver 🪦

Day breaks over Anarchist Mountain, east of Osoyoos. Last night's severe thunderstorm watch failed to come to fruition--a good omen for the day. Today we chase the arc of the sun, westward on Highway 3 through Keremeos, BC. This arid area is currently challenged by wind-whipped wildfires that...

Good morning Swede, thanks for noticing my lighters. I only smoke in outdoor or wilderness settings, so I use high-vis Bics, either naked (to slide easily in and out of pockets) or with bottoms wrapped in orange Gorilla Tape to increase visibility if they get dropped or misplaced. The first...

The centerpiece of Canada's desert vacation destination is Osoyoos Lake, which quietly straddles the border between British Columbia and Washington State. This crystal-clear lake is loaded with catfish, bass, various trout and char, and even Kokanee Salmon. The glass smooth surface is ideal...

Swede my brother, I'll spare no expense for any fine tobacco. What's your source? Thanks 🪦

Morning breaks in Canada's only desert destination town, Osoyoos, BC. Think powerboats, orchards, wineries. Sage brush, prickly-pear cactus, and surprisingly, rattlesnakes. This hot pocket can reach sweltering temperatures well in excess of 110 F, but today brings a mild morning of forest fire...

To beat PAD & TAD, consider the BC Basement Beer Barricade Technique. We used to do this with cases of beer, in coolers, back in my college days. Imagine an escape room, where the only way out is work one's way through a wall of booze. All you need is a basement with a washroom, TV and only...

Thanks Jim, I'm a Historian myself, specializing in the Americas during the age of exploration and pioneering. Right now I am loosely retracing the routes of David Thompson and Alexander McKenzie through the Rockies and rugged mountains of BC. Mr. McCollough's works look fascinating, so I'll...

Tuesday brings a pairing of Tidewater & Tim's in cemetery lorded over by Mt. Begbie.

Sunrise at the headwaters of the Columbia River, in Revelstoke BC, it suits to select The Country Squire's terrific Tidewater, with salted Tim Horton's coffee in Country Gentleman cob.

I have it indeed, but that's a coastal blend for me. I'll hit that stuff in North Vancouver. 👍

Same pairing at pre-dawn, sun rising over the Rockies to the east. Today, break camp and stab westward through a wall of mountains, into the wilds of British Columbia. Not sure what to smoke next. The wind and weather will tell me.

37 degrees Fahrenheit, Cowboy Coffee in my cob, Cowboy Coffee in my Canada cup. Bow River below, Tunnel Mountain up top 🔥

From the banks of the Athabasca River, in the Canadian Rockies, I present The Country Squire's excellent Cowboy Coffee, in well-cooked MM custom Diplomat cutty-cant cob, hand-carved tamper, with camping cup of high-density Columbian, Himalayan pink salt, and organic coconut cream. 2 weeks of...
