Fuente Hemingway - finally almost warm enough to smoke outside on the deck. Tomorrow it will snow...again.

Kid Mac: I tried an english blend from McClelland, I believe it was blend #6. It was not to my liking, I've stuck to aromatics ever since. I will try Pipework and Wilke's #10. Who knows, the second time might be the charm. Dry Ashes. Wildturkey8Kid Mac said:Wildturkey8,
Thanks for the recommendation. I have enjoyed several Pipeworks & Wilke blends. I've smoked No. 191; I think I'll load some up in a Blakemar bullcap for tonight's last smoke. Vermont Maple is also nice. P & W might be some of the better aromatics I've smoked; the casing or topping is done with a delicate hand, and the tobacco flavor isn't overwhelmed by the casing.
I tend to favor English and Oriental blends (I recommend Pipeworks #10, a medium Oriental, and # 524, if you favor full English). Nevertheless, I'm always on the lookout for that just right aromatic.
Dry ashes!

Pretty good, the ash gets a little flaky but a decent cigar.jamespowers said:That's a new one for you. How was it?

Heh. I only get to smoke outside. The old man is a recovering pipe smoker and can smell about 1 part per zillion in the house. Had my Coob in 25mph winds and blowing snow this eve.ET said:finally almost warm enough to smoke outside on the deck.
