Jim - watching what you choose to smoke...the here, there and way over yonder aspects...it's like watching a guy play pinball with that crazy silver ball rocketing all over the dang place!

Q: Is there a method? Is it pure random selection? Do you have a pre set list you work through? Inquiring minds, etc.

No real method. Sometimes, it's what I have a craving for next. Much of the time, I like to change genres to keep my interest level high. I couldn't smoke anything one thing or one type (VaPers, English, aros, etc.) all day and night. Change is a good way to keep my palate fresh. I never have a pre-set, except there are a couple blends I smoke each day, like EGR, but I wait until I'm in the mood for it. Sometimes, I start the day with it, usually not, though I usually prefer to have it early in the day.

Just finished work and this bowl of McClelland 5100 in a 2014 smooth medium bend Basil Meadows egg with an aluminum band and a "root beer swirl" acrylic stem.
