As the cooler weather forces me inside, I have been smoking a lot of Captain Black and 1Q lately. I did pick up a tin of Christmas Cheer, but I'm waiting until after Thanksgiving to crack her open.
Been smoking a lot of Virginia blends lately. Of what I've smoked in the last month or so, Briar Fox from Cornell & Diehl has been a standout. It's a great VA blend.
Some SG FVF today. Heaven. Still learning to pack flakes though....

Fold and stuff or the air pocket method works best for me depending on the consistency of the flakes. It takes some practice, but flake tobaccos are well worth it. :love:

I just ordered some of this.
Hopefully they really haveit in stock.
Added a couple of other harder to find tins to my order, which really lowers my confidence that they actually have all of my order in stock.
Keep your fingers crossed.
As for what I've been smoking today, I cracked open a tin of Squadron Leader, that I've had for a couple years, about a week ago. Been packing a bowl every other day.
Ive been doing the fold and stuff, but mostly having trouble keeping it lit. Today was better, but not great. Might pick up some Stokkebye Flakes to mess around with...
Blue Mountain for me tonight.

Grab some Luxury Navy Flake. I got it hoping to substitute it for Sam Gawaith Navy when it was harder to come by. Turns out they don't compare, but LNF is a fantastic smoke in its own right. I have never had much luck with fold and stuff, I just rub out the flake (actually I kind of crush it in my hand). I find the tin lasts longer that way, too.
