Smoking a mixture of a few that I just had a tiny bit of.
There's some PS Luxury Bullseye, some Marlin Flake and some McClelland Red and Black for sure. Maybe a couple others as well, all Virginias or Vapers though.
It's pretty good.

Puffing Solani ABF. If there's a better straight burley I'd like to know of it. But I doubt that there is.

Ah,,, Hell's Bells ! I went and done it. SWMBO has been working on getting the closet cleaned out. going thru all her clothes
and getting rid of a bunch. Well she came across a couple tins of Dunhill I had hidden. That wouldn't have been such a problem,
but I screwed up and left the receipt. Seems that "When" I bought them was about the time her birthday was all she got was a
card and some flowers. Y'all pray fer me, in the meantime I'm gonna go smoke some Potlatch and redecorate the doghouse.
McClelland Dark Star.
This is only my 2nd bowl of this and I'm not sure what to think about it yet.
I think I'm going to get in to reviewing more tobaccos in the near future and will do this one soon, after I've had enough to get a good handle on it.
The reviews I've done in the past have all been predictable, as I have reviewed blends that I knew that I loved.
I am going to start reviewing some that I've never tried before to try and get some good honest reviews out there that I don't have any pre formed thoughts about yet.
I think it will be fun.

I really like the stuff. I like anything with a sour hit it seems. Dark Star has sour in spades for the first half of the bowl.Quote:

I didn't like this at all the first time I tried it - which is normal for me - but now, with only 6 months in a jar, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It reminds me a lot of Louisiana flake but not as grassy as that one. It's slightly floral - no doubt because of the light Lakeland topping (which has faded quite a bit in the last 6 months) rather fruity (reminds me of dried apricots although not nearly that sweet or potently fruity) and somewhat sweet. IDK if there's perique in this blend or not - haven't looked it up on TR to find out - but there's a bit of pepper both on the tongue and also the retro. It's nice. I did a rough rub-out prep; just enough to break the flakes into some strands and mostly chunks. Burned a little hot but I had let it dry quite a bit before loading up in a Barling. Not really a big deal because the flavor is best by far if lightly sipped.
