Decided upon some C&D Yorktown (BTW, I think most of us are becoming addicted to this blend, because it's so easy to smoke and so damn good tasting) to smoke in the Butz-Chacom Duo 1402 pipe with the last of my gorwler of Pfriem Down Under IPA along side.

You guys are so industrious, up and smoking at zero dark thirty. I'm still goofing off reading in bed, deciding what to smoke after I decide what to have for breakfast and after I decide to get up .

well, I was told that my smokes were missed, so I took notes yesterday as I was at the smoking lounge, lol. I started off with Wilke's Sailor Jack in my Big Ben Sylvia 827 Rhodesian. This is a blend with cigar leaf. I have tried three other blends with cigar leaf, all C&D, and the cigar leaf took center stage, so I was expecting the same with this blend. Not so! It was a well balanced blend, I could barely detect the cigar leaf, but I did detect it. It seemed to be about a medium strength blend to me and rather nice. I was very pleasantly surprised. Next was Wilke's #72 in my estate Savinelli University. It was a very pleasant smoker, quite balanced. I followed that up with Wilke's #524 in my Dr Grabow Royalton bent bulldog. All I can say is WOW! I loved the aroma in this blend, very different than the other two. I am assuming it was the Turkish Yenidje standing out to me, but as far as I know I've never had it so I have nothing to compare it to. I moved on to Wilke's Crystal Palace in my Savinelli Pietro 626 Rusticated. This was a pleasant, mild and mellow blend. I finished up my Wilke samples with Vermont Maple in my grapeleaf meer. A nice, pleasant smoke that was not overly sweet, just a hint of maple. After that I was ready for a change of pace and lit up some Sterling's Balkan Sterling I got in trade from Chico in my Savinelli Professor. I really enjoyed this blend. It was medium strength to me, balanced and pleasant. So, at this point my time at the lounge was coming to a close (I leave there in time to run by and collect hubby from work) so I ended on a sweet note by smoking Cult Blood Red Moon in my grapeleaf meer. I was sipping Coke Classic  Looks like today I'll get to sit out in my yard with a book and a pipe  |

Part way through this bowl of MacBaren Burley London Blend in a 2001 black sandblasted three quarter bend Rinaldo Lithos YY bulldog with a tortoise shell acrylic stem. I haven't had this blend in a while, and thought I'd revisit it for an ounce worth while that lasts. Glad I stocked up on this one.
