I went and flaked out

You just blew my mind. I am very intrigued and will, one day when we move north, will try this.

And, all the fishing talk has made me jealous

Todd, a wonderful selection. Speaking of flakes, have you tried Sam Gawith full Virginia flake, sam's flake, or best brown flake? What about Esoterica Stonehaven? And finally, though not a flake, have you tried McClelland 5100 Red Virginia?

Also....I am often in Wisconsin, though likely not far enough north to be near you. Are you anywhere near Menomonie, Tomah, or Beaver Dam?

Best regards,

Murray

Why wait till you move north, do it now. If you have a pipe, all it takes is having to be outside in the rain and the desire to smoke your pipe while out there.

Have tried them both. Good smokes, but I like some others better. What about Esoterica Stonehaven? Another one I like to keep some of in the tobacco cellar, though I don't smoke it as often as I might. And finally, though not a flake, have you tried McClelland 5100 Red Virginia? Yes, I have some 5100, love it straight up, but it also makes something nice to blend in with other things - Dan Sweet Vanilla Honeydew and 5100 (at a 50/50 mixture) is a nice aromatic.

Also....I am often in Wisconsin, though likely not far enough north to be near you. Are you anywhere near Menomonie, Tomah, or Beaver Dam? I am not near any of them, though I have a couple beaver dams on my property up north. They are all 2 hours or more from me.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
