    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Very nice Sigmund! Love the window. Renovating or building can be a huge hassle, but it is extremely satisfying as well.

    Peterson B10. Are There Any Lovers/Haters of This Shape?

    I love the shape, but the one B10 I have (a Cara) is not a great smoker. It's a bummer because I love how it looks and the feel of it in hand.

    C&D Winchester with about 15% C&D long cut perique added, in a MM country gent.

    Escudo Alternative

    For quality and price, I think C & D's VaPers are hard to beat. Bayou Morning and Poplar Camp are both great. Exclusive is also very good.

    C&D Winchester & Others

    Yes, i usually dry it out a bit. I tend to keep an ounce or so in a pouch on my desk which helps bring it to my preferred moisture level. "Light crisp' is a perfect description. @BenMN, thanks for the additional info!

    C&D Winchester & Others

    Well said @mortonbriar ! Nothing extraordinary about Winchester, but it is delicious and well behaved. I'm smoking some right now mixed with @25% C&D long cut perique, and it's fantastic.

    C&D Winchester & Others

    I first tried Winchester only about a year ago, and it's become an almost daily smoke for me. I've yet to have a disappointing bowl. I'd love to try it with some perique added.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    Started the day with some Blackpool in a cob. Not sure how old it was- I haven't purchased any Esoterica blends in a long time- but it was a very nice smoke. I just now am enjoying some Germain's Plum Cake in a tiny Dunhill saddle stem billiard that I keep for scented tobaccos.
