‘No Tobacco Day’ Diary

Filed under Cigar Reviews, Pipe Tobacco Reviews, Smoking Diary {one comment}

Well it’s World Health Organisations “No Tobacco Day” today. To celebrate such a great occasion on this year’s calendar I intend to celebrate in style. If today wasn’t a bank holiday I could have worked happily serving 100’s of people tobaccos they want to smoke and many buying more premium products. If people only smoked because they where addicted and not because they enjoy tobacco they would all buy the cheap shag rolling tobaccos just to get a fix. But anyways due to the shop being closed I am left at home to fill my day with a vast range of tobaccos.

My day in a rough breakdown, as far as tobacco is concered.

(8:30am)Every day needs something to get it going, with no work today and need to rush about I opted for a little longer in bed. Then Toast, Mug of Whittards Russian Caravan blend tea (http://tiny.cc/8rbd0) and a Crossroads Virginia Blend Rollup with a little Perique for body.
Only tried the Russian Caravan blend tea a few days ago and im loving it. The blend of 18 month black teas from Yunnan region of China if brewed strong with a little milk produces a strong malty brew. The Crossroads (Green) Virginia blend has the same strength as Pueblo & American Spirit, but the extra honey used in the curing process maintains the moisture and keeps the smoke cool. The grades of Virginia used give the tobacco the smooth and naturally sweet taste, this with a little Perique shredded finely. Gives the smoke a little more body and kick for the short 2 minutes it takes to smoke one.

…….one more brews, couple more snouts…..

(11:00am)I have a little cold at the moment and due to my runny nose I had to have a few pinches of “Medicated No.99” Snuff to clean out 2 of my breathing holes. I would have used Olbis Oil but I don’t have any and anyways Olbis Oils wont have that little kick :) .
Been up about 2 and half hours and ive used 2 tobacco products already. At least I tried!

(12:30pm) Well its time for another cup of tea, cant stop with the Caravan blend. A cigar is needed, nothing big just a small little Mini cigarillo. I went for a  Petit Nobel Sumatra (Blue) Blend, these typical European dry cigars are the stronger of the 3 in the range. I haven’t smoke one of these for a while, the last time was over 18 months ago when i started to get back into the swing of smoking cigars. A great short smoke with a smooth and cool smoke with a slightly sweet flavour with subtle earthy hints and a little spice. The dry blend burns perfectly, nice and even without any harshness. The smoke is thick and ideal for those who enjoy blowing smoke rings. Compared to the little Romeo y Julieta Minis i have been smoking these last few days, the Petits blew them out of the water.

*********************Finished off Next Day*********************************

Well i didnt stick to that did i????

Throughout the rest of the day i was smoking both Dunhill International & Sobranie Black Russian along with my Virginia & Perique rolling tobacco. Smoked a number of the Petits and a quick bowl of Dunhills Deluxe Navy Rolls before bed.

All in all i did well at the no tobacco day. Such a shame i have to wait an extra year again.

Keep smoking if you ENJOY it, think about stopping if its more filling the hole cravings produce.
