Well first off, I don't have any, and I must admit I've never smoked it either.

Maybe I should invest in a bit eh?

Invest in? I don't think you can classify a tin of tobacco as an investment any more than a beer or a candy bar. However, from the descriptions of that blend and the long, coiled belt presentation I might just grab a couple tins myself soon. The only thing that makes me want to shy away (other than the price) is the white burley it supposedly contains. I usually hate burley in my Virginia. Also want to try F&T Blackjack that @Pipe Smoker recommended.

Puffing my blend of 2/3rds Solani ABF and 1/3rd F&T Blackjack again. Not only a nice flavor complement, but also a good burning complement. It takes some work to get ABF burning, but Blackjack goes like a house afire. Acts like kindling for the ABF.

Up early this morning and smoked a bowl of GH Dark Bird's Eye in a Sunrise Canadian. Ran out of coffee, so had to drink some black tea. I could get used to hot tea in the morning if it had just a little more caffeine.

Smoking my Luciano squat bulldog today. Earlier, Dunhill Navy Rolls and Wessex Classic Virginia. Now Hamborger Veermaster. The first two were good, but I think the HV is best of all.

When I used to make tea at work, the Chinese guys would caution me not to get the water too hot because there’d be too much caffeine. “No such thing as too much caffeine,” I’d be thinking.

I've never heard that hotter water equates to more caffeine. At one time I had some Yerba Mate "tea" from South America that has a higher caffeine content than regular black tea. I drank it for a while but never warmed up to the taste of it. Oh well, bought some Maxwell House this morning so I'm all set.

Just got off work about an hour ago and am about to light up a bowl of Nightcap in a Dunhill pipe with a bamboo shank. Drinking some Vernor's ginger ale.

You can get Vernor's in Tennessee?

And for the record, currently smoking Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake which I'm finding to be ...luxurious :)

Yep, they sell it in select locations here. It's not easy to find though.

About to light up some Semois in a Dr. Grabow billiard.
