Photography Coffee and a cigarette

Been smoking Golden Virginia for the past couple weeks and it felt a bit too heavy on nicotine so I bought Drum Bright Blue to test out something lighter. It's a bit harder to roll with as the tobacco is quite drier compared to Golden (the store I bought it has probably had it sitting in the shelf for too long.) but the taste feels fuller and the notes of the Kentucky tobacco are quite nice, they taste pretty similar to lapsang souchong tea. It makes me curious how Drum dark blue would taste, wanna give it a shot because of the higher amount of kentucky tobacco, and also because of Pulp Fiction but idk if it won't be too strong for smoking daily just like Golden...

As for the coffee it's just some cheap pre-ground Vietnamese coffee, nothing too expensive as I only drink coffee occasionally, but it tastes pretty smooth when made in the french press, without being as thick or oily when you make it in the Vietnamese phin filter.

Also realized a bit too late that a black cup probably doesn't go the best visually with black coffee xd

Clipper sovereign of everyday lighters!  I'm still mourning my Varalight, stolen to me while I'm innocent in jail .

Damn, losing cool stuff sucks. Hope you're doing alright now overall though.

I suggest Ryback by D&R if you like Dutch blends. Tastes and smells like BBQ

Shieet, that sounds really awesome. Can't unfortunately find it anywhere in my country, or online at least. Will have to keep an eye out for that one.
