What are you smoking?

[Lonecoyote]

My simple anytime blend when aged for a minimum of 1 year happens too also be one of my top 10 favorites:

C&D Bayou Night 60% and Lane Burley & Black 40% aged just over 1 year. I smoke this like a FREIGHT TRAIN and absolutely NO bite. I pack the pipe firm 3/4 of the way and get close to a 60 minute very enjoyable smoke.

Pipe of choice: Savinelli Series III UNFINISHED BILLIARD pipe. Has 11 huge fills but it's a superb smoking pipe. I did finish the briar with Bee's wax and mineral oil mixture. I've smoked this pipe over 300 times and the briar now developed a dark chocolate color. But the fills still stand out.


KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

WARNING: I JUST OPENED ANOTHER TIN FROM MY CELLAR OF BIJOU DATED 5/31/16 and it had a white powdery mold developing.....not plume. The tobacco has the scent of mold.  The blend was soaked, not moist. I'm going to jar all my Bijou tins!!

C&D replacement tins of Bijou dated 1/19/17

Now smoking C&D Bijou,  a fresh batch from 2017 and no mold issues. Earlier today I decided to open all of my C&D Bijou tins from May of 2016 to July of 2016, ALL which had the beginning stages of mold. I will be posting a warning with pictures on a new thread. This new version is fine and a great blend.
