Good evening friends, hope you're having a great Sunday, I'm going to round the evening off here in the Irish North West with some Germain's SLF in the Turkish Meer, absolutely delicious! 😋 I'm blanking on "SLF". "Something something Flake" I assume, but can't remember. |

You know, I don't think I've ever seen that one. Guess that's why I can't remember! It's delicious urbino, interesting balance of latakia, orientals and VA's; lovely sour/sweet interplay with the Turkish and Va's, with the latakia just 'saucing' the smoke,, |

I'll likely never get to try it. This Capstan Navy flake is really good, too. I haven't smoked any in a few months. It's a shame it's so expensive. |

We can't get that here, 😂 That's a shame...you are closer to Tolkien country than we are. Just checked Smokingpipes...almost $21 for a 1.75oz tin...wow! Glad I bought it by the sleeves back in reasonable times. |

Cracked open this tin of Luminaire that Kevin sent me. It really took to the flame well, which is handy on a windy day. Smoking it in the Iafisco lovat:  |

Glad I bought it by the sleeves back in reasonable times. Wow! I hadn’t even looked at it in a while. A few years back I had a coupon with Estervals and even with the super expensive shipping, I got it for about $6/tin. Bought twenty of them just because. Same with the gold. Things have changed rapidly. |

About every four to six weeks, I have what I call a Danish Decadence Day and only smoke my Danish hand mades. This time, it has lined up with a day that I have time to post more than one smoke… 2017 Father Dempsey in my Jess Chonowitsch long oval shank Brandy.  |

I’m still smoking Watch City 2021 Rougaroux. To be fair, I’ve been smoking a mix of 60% Rougaroux, 20% Dark Air Cured and 20% Krumovgrad, pressed. I might just keep smoking this for some time.

Had a couple bowls - Friar's Bayou and Five o'clock Shadow in the Sunday cob after painting and before the kids came over. Haunted Bookshop after dinner. Back to Friar's Bayou in the Sunday cob.
