Cornell & Diehl - Awakened Elder 2oz
Smoking a Pharaoh
1893 – Luxor, Egypt Sorry for not writing sooner. I have a moment now to share a triumph! As I take off my pith helmet and look out across the sands the moon is rising at last, and a cool breeze finally brings relief after a long, hot day of excavating... and of opening the tomb. Tobacco was running low, so I surreptitiously mixed in some crumbled wrappings and a bit of finger from the mummy we found. Between us... it is my own secret blend! Finally, the moment has come: I am about to smoke a pharaoh.The earthy, leathery aroma is unusual… but not unpleasant. It feels somehow fitting. It is my private reward for a good day’s digging. Notes of funerary spices, the very resins meant to preserve a long-dead king, wake the palate in the most unexpected way. As the moon climbs higher I glance down at the work camp. Those fools still believe the tomb is cursed. What could possibly be cursed about a smoke this unusual?
