Nice "carottes" again Gavroche. You're going to have to get some Latakia now, I think you'll like blending with it.

 

[Gavroche]

Thank you very much.

I have a problem with the latakia, I too much smoked it and I made an indigestion I cannot any more there touch I am very sad all people who have too much food of shells (oysters mussels)) will understand...

Smoking a bowl of Bursa in my brother's back yard in Canmore. Sun. Fresh snow on the mountains.

I love this hobby. Today I added 10% homemade perique to my potluck. There's some japan8 cav, various air cured bright tobacco, and Bursa from last year, a couple flue cured and Canik and yenidge from this year. I think there's some CC98, Delish.

FCV2, FCV3, Prilep, waved a little Lat97 over it, bound in Crio98S, wrapped in Corojowrpp.

Had some of BrownThumb's Pennsylvania Red in a vintage briar pipe today. It was rich with almost chocolate notes. Will have to do again soon and try to identify more flavors.

Today I made a blend from Larry's (BigBonner) tobacco.

I used 50% Brightleaf, 25% Burley Red Tips and 25% Natural Burley ... very nice smoke.

I just wanted to say my Japan 8 Cavendish is starting to taste like root beer.

 

[ChinaVoodoo]

Kilned Bursa plus Costello Negro Cavendish

 

[deluxestogie]

That looks interesting, similar to some Scottish mixtures. How's it smoke?

I like it. After 3 bowls in the same pipe, I had some tongue bite, but that's too be expected. Really fragrant. I think the cav gives it some fullness. I wouldn't necessarily compare it to anything you could buy, being 75%ish oriental. I like tasting the various tobaccos on their own, you know, maybe because I like the variety, but the cav normalizes it a bit so it's not as overwhelming. The air cured Bursa isn't sweet, so the pH balance is alright with this blend. If it was sun cured, it might call for some perique.

Today , in fact moments ago...I tried out a half bowl (sticking with the smaller bowled Dr Grabow of dads for testing. I can barely fit my pinky finger in it to pack it) of my 2015 homegrown Madole cavendish that I had added rum extract and vanilla extract before the steaming. Its only like 25*F out today so I had to stand in the garage . Got a nice 20 minutes out of it and boy was it tasty . Mild ,no bite. and if it serves a purpose, I'm enjoying a nice dark Anchor Steam Winter Wheat in the warmth of the house . If the temperature outside was more agreeable to spend time actually taking my time on the porch, this particular brew makes a fantastic pairing for the Madole.
Next test session of this I may add a pinch of BB's perique sample from last year for a little depth.

Very nice. The Madole... What all happened to that one, again? Is it the one that almost got burned in the empty pressure cooker?

 

[Smokin Harley]

nothing ever got burned in the pressure cooker. It was when I took everything to the kiln ,that one of them had a heavy caramelizing of the leaf, and ended up with a couple hard chunks at the bottom of a jar...now you have me wondering which one it was. After pressing ,I found none with hard spots.

 

[ChinaVoodoo]

Thats a lot of bright leaf. Hows your tongue feel?

Pretty good, actually. No tongue bite. Symbol 4 was air cured. The air cured Helena tips are very un-sweet, thick, and slow burning. The blend is 50% flue cured, 50% air cured.
