This is on an auction site.
It's called a Steinbach Smoker.
The clockwork lathe spins it plays music and i think you
put a stick of incense in his pipe. .
I like his  Vernier calipers.
He needs a beard.

Erik Stokkebye - 4th Generation 1931

Black Cavendish, Burley, Virginia.
This tobacco i am sure is made by Mac Baren
They look almost identical to MB Navy flake.
Rum is there as is a slight honey flavour.
The aroma in tin is mouth watering.
Rubs out easy just a little drying time needed.
Easy to light and full of flavour.
It is like a more intense MB Navy flake.
I will be ordering more.

Cob Plug 1792

5oz of Samuel Gawith Cob Plug 1792 

I was just told this has been aged since 2004.
Look at all the sugars.
I knew it.

Nice flakes my vintage flake cutter works so well.

It has the flavour of 1792 but its just a bit milder.
Maybe the plugs have aged.
Full of flavour the plug is rock hard but easy to slice with a plug cutter and rub out.
Perfect moisture level very easy to light and burns to a light grey ash.
Produces huge amounts of smoke.
A great dry smoking very stout tobacco to say the least.
Andrea said it smelt like intense tobacco.
Lachlan my 20 year old son nearly choked on it.
Not to sure about the room note though.    

New Tobacco no 73

Krumble Kake
I used my vintage flake cutter to cut some off.
And packed my small Falcon Calabash.
The Latakia is there up front then the rum flavour comes through.
A good solid tobacco big in flavour and nicotine just how i like it.
Now to turn a couple more small Falcon bowls so i can rotate them
for all this strong tobacco.

Extra small Falcon Bowl for extra strong tobacco

I was smoking Samuel Gawith 1792 and had a thought that i
needed a extra small Falcon bowl to smoke it in.
Over the weekend i turned this tiny Calabash.
The good is that the walls are very thick and it should smoke cool.
I have smoked it three times so far and although there is no cake built up yet
it does smoke very cool.  

Quite a nice block. 

The bowl on the right is a standard Falcon bowl.
The top of the smoke chamber normaly 22mm
this one is 18.
The bottom 17mm
this one is 12mm.

Both bowls started out the same colour
No need to use stain.
