| 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. |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| Orlik golden sliced. Very nice presentation in the tin. Virginia with a little Burley tobacco. Easy to pack and light needs to dry just a little. For me this tobacco is sweet smoking with no bite at all. Great pure tobacco flavour a little over mid nicotine content. If i was smoking it all time it would get boring quickly. It is a great tobacco for mixing with. I have mixed a some with a little SG 1792 calmed the 1792 down nicely and added interest to the golden sliced. |

| This is the plug version of 1792. I just smoked my first bowl of 1792 flake. I inhaled and nearly spat my Falcon across the room. I'm speechless. And i thought that SG XX Rope was strong WRONG. Tobacco like this a great value for money pure nicotine. I think i will turn my self a very small falcon bowl to smoke it in. It will be interesting to see what the plug version is like at least i get to use my vintage flake cutter. |
 |
| Well my plan of smoking a tin at a time experiment failed. I was getting bored just smoking one tobacco. So i opened and jar up eight tobacco's. The Irish flake smells so strong. Reviews to follow as i get to know them. |

| The pictures can't show how huge this drill really is. |

| Today Lachlan came home with this in the boot/trunk of his car. He had been to a garage/yard sale. It is with out a doubt the biggest POWER drill i have ever seen. It took both of us to lift it out of the car. Australian made Sher 3/4 " heavy duty drill. It sounds like a jet aircraft when its running and takes so long to stop. Its in perfect working order its been kicked around a factory for a lot of years but i don't think it's seen a lot of use probably to scared to use it. There is a safety tag on the cord dated 1962. I'm sure it was made pre 1950. The bloke he bought it off said the last guy to use it took it out of the stand mistake one. He then tried to drill a 3/4" hole in a i beam mistake two. The drill bit grabbed and because of the huge amount of torque this thing has it spun out of control and the handle came round and broke his jaw. The Widow Maker. |
