I did say NEARLY but the cost accountant in me didn't want to overstate the obvious. Method to madness. Ok, just madness. I have PAD and TAD and my name is Pete (it's become my freakin' mantra).Quote:

All is well and I'll be doing all my reviews this weekend at the latest.
Good to see ya Landon. I missed your piercing eyes and shrill predatory calls. I have some raccoons that need predating? :)Quote:

Musings of Sample "Y" (green) McClelland #14 circa 1996
Saturday, April 25th
Smoked indoors.
First off the appearance is very dark, ribbon cut..or what once was. Fine texture, very crumby. The scent is lovely, very dank muskyness, and reminiscent of cow manure (I like the smell actually). Moisture was prefect and I only let it stand in the open air for a few minutes to dry and then swirled it into my Big Ben dublin. This blend takes to flame easily with minimal expansion from heat. The first flavors that come to the senses are very deep, rich, and sweet. Flavors of cavendish and stoved virginias, a whisper of spice, possibly from perique, and a subtle smokiness. The flavor stands firmly down the bowl, gradually becoming more and more homogenized into a deeper version of the sweet and spicy notes. An absolutely delicious smoke! It reminds me of "bayou" and "cajun" genre of tobacco blends like C&D Mississippi Mud.
Nicotine was present but only noticeable as a slight tingle on the tongue, no apparent head change.
Overall, I have no scruples with this blend. I think it's exactly what it's meant to be and I'd definitely smoke it again. I'm sensing this has some years on it but then again it could be the deep, rich scent throwing me off. Definitely a recommended blend.
@LandonColby
I edited your post to name the blend... you picked one of the most unique ones to do first :)
At Pete's request, I've copied all the actual reviews from the original thread into this one in the Pipe Related Reviews Forum. Enjoy!
Very cool. Now I need to read the different reviews on the same tobaccos. That will be interesting.Quote:
