Blending stuff is fun. More so with a good mentor - great work, gentlemen!
Sumtin ta do whilest yer smokin Bubba...:pipe:
Just finish a bowl of "C" in my DG Savoy.I like this one alot, I tasted a almost creamy flavor as well as the citrus.A smooth easy smoke that would be great for introducing newbs to our side of smoking.The flavors are enjoyable with just enough spice to keep iy fresh.
Smoking sample "A" in a meerschaum, it is rather dry and has a hint of pepper around the edges.I agree with Jim in that it's a lot like a cigarette.The retro has a bit of burn not so much I quit trying.Tobacco is fairly easy to pack and light, and would make for a good work smoke.Seems pretty simple and I guess this is what you mean by one dimensional, but all in all a nice quick smoke to work by.
Smoking sample "D" in my DG Savoy.The pouch note reminds me of honey and sweet hay.It's a little on the moist side but not wet,packed and lit as easy as the others.Have to slow myself down a bit,the moisture is causing a small bit of tongue bite.It tastes like a toasted virginia,citrus with a smokiness.A hint of sweetness.The retro has just a hint of burn but a lot of twang,really adds to the bowl.I like this sample,it's got good character and even taste.Feels good,
a nice cozy smoke.
Tried C tonight - the other guys are right, you have a winner here, Pete! Creamy, rich and satisfying, with great incense-like notes. Possibly my favorite of all your new blends so far (along with the Professor and Thomas Hariot).
Now come on..you guys must be getin a little tipsy there...aint none of ya writ like that before.....I want some of what ya drinkin...
