It's 11F here this morning, so I present The Frozen Hoosier. 2 parts each Bright, Izmir, Bright Cavendish, Izmir vanilla Cavendish, and 1 part perique. A pleasant accompaniment to morning chores around the farm. (As a side note, the balaklava I'm wearing under two hoods was made using a pattern from a WWI knit for victory pamphlet. Adjustments had to be made for gauge and needle size, but I hewed as close to the original pattern as possible.)

Here in Greece when we want to smoke outside we wearing this style
but not this style
because this is for gang members-thieves etc and for Police SWAT or ERU team.
The idea came from motorcycles which wearing this style
under their helmet.
When it's too cold many young people wear while walking in the road the 3rd style balaklava with a skull cap of a baseball cap but when you enter a store you have to lower the nose cover so a part of your face must be visible, if you don't do it you rise suspicious and the owner may call the Police or you may hear negative comments that will embarrassing you.

Skandinavik Vanilla.

The small inox cup supposed to be for the receipt but the Cafe owner with a blinking eye says that you can use it as an ashtray because that riffraff (the ''hygienists'') write in social media negative comments for any Cafe that gives ashtrays to the smokers. I said it before and i will say it again, even this will not stop us, NO WAY !

This is Nairobi, a half-breed female dog of a family we know. A few days ago at her house at noon the man after morning work fell for a short nap while the wife left for the afternoon shift. They left the stove open in the kitchen, the man was in the bedroom with the door open and Nairobi was sleeping in the other room with the door closed. After an hour suddenly the Kerosene stove clogged and was starting to emit black smoke. Nairobi realized something was wrong and started barking to alert the man. Time passed, the smoke was getting thicker and from instinct the dog decided to act, with her front legs she lowered the door handle and entered the kitchen. She ran into the room and the man was motionless on the bed, she started barking louder but nothing, she went near him and started to poke him with her muzzle. When she realized he wasn't moving she jumped on the bed and started pushing him again and again in the chest with her front legs to make him stand up. Fortunately the man recovered from his dizziness and went to the window, opened it and got out, he coughed and his saliva came out black. If Nairobi had not taken action the man would have died from the fumes and the house would have caught fire!
I am smoking McClelland Best of Show in a Stanwell, double Greek coffee plus cool water beside me, cheers for the Nairobi the life saviour.

Looks yummy but… where’s the pipe?

pier

edit: my GCR usually cures darker than yours @ChinaVoodoo , and comes out of the kiln even darker. Did you kiln the leaves you pictured?
I have not kilned this crop, yet. My air cured GCR is much darker. I can't really give a good opinion on the flavour because it's not kilned.
Did you ever get around to the GCR vs Staghorn Pepsi Challenge? I probably missed it. What was the verdict?
I don't think i can answer that. My Staghorn was a terrible crop and it's flame retardant. No, wait. It's... I'll have to take a look. It's been one of them years.
