We had a fun evening hanging out and playing cards with Sis/BIL, daughter/SIL. Had St. James Flake in an Upshall lumberman and Stokkebye Navy Flake in an Ascorti Business chunky billiard. Everyone's gone home and I'll have some Friar's Bayou in a Kaywoodie Red Root cherrywood.

Happy Sunday! Started the day with a couple bowls of Haunted Bookshop in the Sunday cob and coffee. It's 47 and cloudy here. Think I'll wait a while before I head outside today.

I just now am trying the cherry mix , which kind of tastes like 7 seas red with added Lane very cherry or CB cherry .. in that type direction , if I were to try and explain the flavor of it . Its a bit more " cherryish " than I go for but it isnt crazy and its smoking nicely .... nice mix , man :thumbs:

Also , he made an OTC mix and I really like it a lot . Ill probably killl that one off pretty quick :thumbs: theres a thick leafy blend that Im going to smoke later today . It has a nondescript tobacco pouch aroma and Im looking forward to trying it but am unsure what chamber size is best for that type cut ? Its kinda like Sutliff Country Doctor match but with bigger pieces

Oh , Im gonna use this cherry mix Im smoking and tone it down slightly with SPBC

It has all the cherry you mentioned except the 7 seas, I haven’t had that one yet. A couple vanilla tossed in also.
It was the last 1/4 of tins tossed into a jar and shook up!
Its pretty damn good :thumbs: .... its more flavored than 7 seas by a little bit . 7 seas is really nice and my go to cherry . Hell , its available in bulk too .

Friar's Bayou in the Sunday cob. Sunshine now, but still chilly and breezy.
