Blending Experiment

[GWBowman]

I seem to be running behind. I've smoked four bowls of A; a MM Cob Legend, two old Brewsters, a Dr. G Savoy in that order. The first couple of bowls started lightly sweet, a little dried fruit (like the jar note) and transitioned into a little spice. The last of the bowl turned acidic and bitey. The third bowl was less sweet and less acidic. I couldn't put my finger on the taste til I read someone saying cigarette. The last bowl had no sweetness, no acid, no bite. That bad cigarette was the official taste of that bowl. Gonna put it away for a while and load some B in a Grand Duke.

Good and accurate comments George.

Mixture A has some Smyrna and that was all I tasted when I tried it yesterday, no Red VA flavor at all. I also tried Mixture C and it's Latakia has faded from prominence and that's partially by design but the other flavors (Virginia most notably) still haven't arrived. Frustrating .
