 Danske Club Black & Virginia - Stanwell [modified]. Thank you all for your kindly words, the number of dead people is rising and we have too many persons missing. Keep in mind that was an arson, simultaneously the fire started from 15 different points! Arson? Those miserable bastards. I hope Greece reinstates the death penalty when they catch them. |

Just catching up, had no power since last night courtesy of my 3rd world electric company.
Smoked my usual HH ODF this morning in my goblet stack. This is fast becoming one of my favorite smokers. Then had HH vintage Syrian in my old Jarl billiard.

It was time to light up a “ MYSTERY “ tobacco that was recently sent to me by a member of this forum, thanks again!!! Upon opening the double sealed baggies I stuck my nose directly into the bag to sense the aroma. What I picked up immediately was the aroma of stewed prunes and raisins. This is an EXTREMELY dense plug, not a cake! Took me a while to rub some out and try a half bowl, due to a high moisture level I did let the tobacco air dry for 30 minutes, obviously not long enough! I knew this would be a blend that had to be lit up outdoors, so I did so in the garage towards the open door in the shade Lets go on from here....I did a gravity drop into the chamber and gave it a light tamp. Oh boy, the fun began!! Took 4 lights to get the plug lit with constant puffing. Less then 30 seconds I had to re-light 3 more times and gave it another tamp. Again in less then 30 seconds the tobacco still would not stay lit. I now decided to keep the flame over the tobacco and puffed over 8 times, actually lost count. Low and behold the tobacco burned for almost a full minute 😝😝😂. At this point I became extremely light headed and a bit dizzy, so I decided to leave the rest of the tobacco in the MM Diplomat over night and will try again tomorrow. It’s been years since a tobacco blend knocked me on my BUTT. Once I stood up it really hit me, due to the amount of puffing and the amount of nicotine I would venture too say. This blend is very similar to the dense fermented rope i smoked while in Brazil many years ago. I even took some of this blend and looked close with a strong magnifying glass. I did notice allot of pressed cigar tobacco leaf that mostly made up this blend. The taste was pleasant enough, sweet prunes and raisins were definitely detected. The blend is so dense and moist I knew my tobacco grinder ( electric coffee grinder dedicated for chopping certain blends when needed ) would not do the job. I had to use my extremely sharp Ulu knife and rock up and back to break this plug/rope down to my liking. It’s now in the same white tray pictured below and will be air drying for a few days. This blend reminded me of smoking a LIGA PRIVADA NO. 9 cigar, which is known as what cigar smokers refer to as “ an air bender “. Tomorrow the Diplomat pipe will be lit up once again outdoors!!! Definitely not a blend for newbies!!!!! PS If you suffer from constipation, after a few puffs of this blend will do the trick😝😜😝😜😂😂  |

It sounds right up my alley. The more prunes and raisins the better. The gentleman that sent me this sample I don’t believe even he knows the name of this powerhouse blend. I still feel a bit high....lol. Now I’m drinking a lot of water. Definitely a smoke that’s perfect before bedtime 👍 |

Just chatted with the donor of this a$$ kicking blend. It’s from the Dominican Republic and produced and manufactured as filler for cigars, no wonder I noticed so much cigar leaf. It’s all chopped up now and air drying. What you see in the tray below will air dry for a few days. Then it will be jarred for some aging to see if it mellows out some. I still feel the kick👍👍👍. Might have found the perfect tobacco to knock me out at night...lol. It’s that strong!  |

Now there is no house, no garage, no car, no garden, no trees, no dog, the owners are "missing persons"..and all was left is our flag hanging damaged from the pole with a cord.  I am smoking Charatan No. 63 while reading more sad news about the fire.  |

When the people that started this fire are found and brought to justice, they need to spend the rest of their lives in solitary confinement. This is a crime that deserves the DEATH PENALTY! I have a 24 hour candle lit for those who lost their life! I Pray for better times ahead for the people of Greece❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

Had some the other day, which brought to mind why I smoke this very rarely...it will send you to bed quick. Sorry...didn't read the rest of the thread. |
