I tried to make 2 more Angel of Izmir plugs and when I pulled them they seemed small. Thinking back I actually forgot to add Izmir to the blend.</p> <p><a href="https://tenor.com/view/ups-error-facepalm-gif-15403364">Head slap</a>from <a href="https://tenor.com/search/ups-gifs">Head slap</a></p> <p>The end result is a pretty smooth smoke without the citrus of Izmir.</p> <p>Blend for 140g plug</p> <ul> <li>24.5% Latakia (43g)</li> <li>20% Basma (35g)</li> <li>35.5% Red Virginia (cased with Tonka) (62g)</li> </ul> <p><img loading="lazy" src="https://blog.acefour.org/images/2024/09/PXL_20240926_214445572.jpg"></p> https://blog.acefour.org/posts/oriental-forward-english-experiment/ Thu, 25 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.acefour.org/posts/oriental-forward-english-experiment/ <p><img loading="lazy" src="https://blog.acefour.org/images/2024/08/fit_1920--1-.jpeg"></p> <p>Blend for 175g plug</p> <ul> <li>24.5% Latakia (43g)</li> <li>20% Basma (35g)</li> <li>20% Izmir (35.g)</li> <li>35.5% Red Virginia (cased with Tonka) (62g)</li> </ul> <p>Stoved while under pressure in the truck cab (about 130F) for a few days.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" src="https://blog.acefour.org/images/2024/07/PXL_20240723_220538200.jpg"></p> <p><img loading="lazy" src="https://blog.acefour.org/images/2024/07/PXL_20240723_220906806.jpg"></p> <p>Update: 8/8/24</p> <p>Sliced off a flake and smoking in the 1974 hallmark Pete.
