It is a mix of Maryland 609, Yenidje, and my homemade cigar Cavendish. I topped it with brandy. Once it's sliced and dried...I'll be looking for guinea pigs :)
Wow!
Maryland, oriental, and Cav... that sounds great, and the brandy sounds good too.
Awesome Tobias! Planning to try my hand at this soon too.
looks GOOD,,,Sounds BETTER !!
I'll volunteer for QC patrol :)
Excellent! BTW, got your package yesterday...and I'm starting to think that Peach and Latakia are a match made in heaven.Quote:

Hmmm, peach and Latakia. Sounds like a summer BBQ.
This is too funny as I was thinking how much I dont like peaches and not really into Latakia either lol.Quote:

Looks good!
I'll admit I had my doubts at first. This is a collaborative effort a few of us started on Puff a while back. The flavoring was mainly @Madbricky 's in inspiration. Turned out quite nice. PM me your address & I can put a few slices in the mail for you.Quote:

I'm dropping yours in the mail Monday morning :pipe:Quote:

How's it taste Tobias?
It still has a day or two of drying before it will be ready to burn. I'm packed up a few samples for others to try this week before I jarred it up last night.Quote:
