Jack - is that flavored in any way, or is it just straight tobacco?Quote:

Having a nice morning smoke of Trash Can Punch flake in a cob :) I was running out of jars a few months ago, so I combined everything that I had less than an inch of, plus an assortment of other leaves, into a pressed flake. A real tobacco salad, but pretty good.

No flavoring, just baccy. It's not a straight up Burley though, there is some Virginia and Cavendish too. This was only my first bowl purchased based on my liking of OTC burley and Branzig talking up the sample he received from Emperor Zurg. The flavor is good but it had a slight bite I wasn't expecting.Quote:

FYI, I get bite from it if I don't let it dry a while. You can't tell how moist it is because of the ube cut but I've found that if I let it sit out for a few hours to half a day it burns better, tastes better and doesn't bite near as quick.Quote:

I get no bite at all from it and did detect a slight topping on it. Go figure :lol:
I know all the product information states there is no topping on it...but it seems a lot like Carter Hall to me. A slight sugar and cocoa adding. I guess it could just be the Cavendish, but I am still skeptical.
It is a great blend though. Especially in a cob with some coffee :pipe:

It's really pretty good stuff eh? I found that letting it sit out overnight has ridden it of much of the Lakeland snot I have been detecting in it. It also seemed to highlight a sugary cocoa topping a bit. Quality stuff, which is par for the course when it comes to GH&Co.Quote:

I find that the difference in palettes , difference in technics , and difference in enviroment makes a load of differing reviews.That's the best thing about this hobby of ours,no two are alike.I'm going to give the Mixture #79 a try one of these days, just cause y'all don't like it.:cool:Quote:

I'm going to add some mosquito corpses to the tobacco just to teach them critters a lesson (and maybe me too? Yes, I stuck the fork in a socket back in the day).
Amazingly, I once blew up a steak knife by cutting into a lamp cord that was plugged in, also caught my balance by placing my hand on a red-hot burner (amazing spiral blister) so yes to both questions,,,And I do have a tobacco disposal plan, my son has laid claim to my pipes,humis,cigars,and pipe tobaccos.Not to mention my Chess sets.And for all here who I've come to view as family @EricS is my son and currently lives here with his SO and son, So I tend to share both my stashes with him. Although I've been a bit stingy and only gave him one pipe, a cheap chinese with a metal insert.So if that Mixture #79 is really that bad,,,,I'll give it to him. Teach him to raid my cellar.Quote:

@Lostmason , when you pull the trigger on that Mixture 79, I'll split with you. I feel I'm missing out on being able to complain about it. :lol:
