This is marvelous. Do you plan what you are going to say ahead of time, or are your monologues completely improvised?

@AulicExclusiva I usually plan ahead, but it doesn't always work out.

OJK is also one of my favorite Virginia-Burley-Perique blends. The blender was Bob Runowski, with C&D doing the actual production, canning, etc. Sadly Bob passed away a few months ago.

@PIPEBITE Thanks for the info. So who is/was Joe Krantz?

Best,

@PipeDreamsInc

Joe Krantz was Bob Runowski's grandfather. I asked him the same question once in a thread post, and he explained that the blend was reminiscent of what his grandfather used to smoke. Another one of Bob's blends, C&D's Morleys Best, is a recreation of Blue Boar (iirc that was the name), a favorite blend of one of Bob's favorite writers and mine, Christopher Morley. Morley wrote The Haunted Bookshop, which is also the title of yet another one's of Bob's blends.
