I started de-stemming the burley, I had to bring it into lower case to unfold and take the stem out. I am going to split into fourths and try casings to make some blends. I’ll do the Maryland next and then the Virginia. https://i.imgur.com/rjoQXOz.jpeg I'll be following your progress with interest!

LC Vanilla in this BC Vendome.

Prince Albert in this Sav Saint Nick billiard. Still drinkin' coffee.

LC Vanilla in this Butz Choqin Vendome. Coffee.

Sutliff Vanilla Custard in this no name "Grapes" pot. I've had this stuff for a few years, and it's just now dry enough to be a passable smoke. Still lots of flavor, though.

LC Vanilla in this Grabow Grand Duke. Coffee.

SWRA in this no name pot. Coffee.

I prefer Vulcanite...I find it gentler on the clench. And ya know, I like those plastic stems that come on MM cobs. That juba stuff sounds interesting.
