Great to see you Phil ! I use to find Rum flake in Romania years ago before damn Brexit and it has the most beautiful smell in the tin. Of course being obsessed with GW I adore this blend! Beautiful pipe you have there! I love Christmas ! But not for family reasons but for the gifts reasons.😂 Have a wonderful evening! Silviu 🤝🤝
Hey Phil, I think that smoking a lot of Christmas, Winter and holidays aro blends would make these season more enjoyable 😄😁😆. No? Well, I hope I will be able to shine some light with tasty tobacco. Take care, Janez
Nice to see you Philip as always. I hear that a nice dram helps the holidays go by faster, especially if it’s cask strength whisky, bourbon etc. I may give that Jamaican flake a try, sounds tasty. Take care ciao 👋 S.
Always good to see you. I don't like how most holidays are handled by most but I'm finding my own way to enjoy some these days. Thanks for the well wishes. I appreciate it brother
Hey Phil good to see you, Rum flake is yummy. The years of retail (as a student) made me despise "holiday music" - so I'm a bit bah-humbug about it too. I will enjoy the break from heavy labour in the snow though. Happy smokes!
Enjoyed listening to ya, Phil. Christmas is an odd one. I'm becoming more indifferent to it every year. No more being swept up in the craziness -- just try to focus on good food, drink, baccy and company. You've made me curious to try Rum Flake. Might add it to my next order. Take care.
I live with people who enjoy Christmas and I put on a bit of a front but to be honest lots of bad shit in my life has always occurred around that time of year in my life.
Just ordered a couple tins of Rum Flake yesterday. I don't smoke it often, mostly because of availability. Christmas Eve I dump a tin in my pouch and share the aroma whilst visiting.
Good catching up with you Phil. I have mixed feelings about Christmas too, great being with the family, but it's a stressful time of year for me, I never truly enjoy it like l should. Hope you and your family are well ... Jamaica flake sounds interesting, might have to PS luxury English to the to buy and try list.
Good to hear you're hanging in there. I prefer pecan pie myself. 😀 The blend you are smoking sounds great. Haven't seen it around here. The only Gawith blend I have with rum is Rum Flake. Maybe it's the same with the old name. Not bad. I hope you weather the upcoming holiday as well as possible. BTW, it looks like the professor has gone off the radar. Been a while since he's posted a video. Hope he's doing okay. You take care.
It’s rum flake. They renamed it Jamaican flake in the U.K. The professor is fine we text once in a while just not in a video making mood I suppose. Take care 👍
Maybe we feel bad that without pumpkin pie there would not be much else to do with such a big vegetable , although salted and roasted pumpkin seeds are a tasty snack. I have not smoked anything new in awhile but instead I have just been enjoying smoking through different stuff in the cellar. haven't touched many Sam/Hoggarth blends in awhile though, lately its been more codger burley or aromatic stuff. As for Christmas.. Any excuse for time off work at the factory is fine by me although I can totally see how others can dislike it.
I like pumpkin seeds and pumpkin soup. My Italian friend’s mother used to cook this amazing sage and pumpkin stuffed ravioli so there’s plenty of options imo 🤣🤔.
