Working in the garden most of this windy day. Then relaxed in the closed porch with a bowl of Mapacho. My first time with this somewhat exotic tobac, thanks to a generous sample from @TheIronMonkey . Thank you sir! Sure never expected to try this stuff! Smoking it in my oldest clay, bought in 1990. As you can see, it's been around the block a few times. This tobacco has a wonderful smell and taste. Can feel the nic hit for sure, but no whirlies. It's a bit irritating in my throat. But it might be partly due to this nasty wind, with it's accompanying dust and pollen. Will reserve judgement after I've tried Mapacho again another time.

About a third of a bowl left of year 2012 Virginia Spice in a 1979 pebble relief natural Verona Corallo 3080 Hungarian with a black acrylic saddle stem. This will get me to dinner time. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Give me a distinct lingering tongue “zing”…. Not burnt, just uncomfy.
