    A Tale of Four Aromatics

    Step One..... This started with a recent B& M purchase of two Lane standards....BCA, and one derived from 1Q with some BCA added, that the store called Magic Mountain, I think. ...anyway, we had to be away for a week for elderly caregiving duties, so I set them each on a paper plate , in my...

    Same Blend Sold under Different Names.

    No all capitals unless it's to warn us the sky is falling. I have just learned that some blends that can be bought in bulk, are the same exact blends that can be bought in tins under a different name. This is a bit of a revelation to me. Anyone want to comment on duplicates that they are...

    a flake tobacco, that arrived with the flakes partially broken up. I rubbed some out and set it on table for a bit, filled the pipe lightly, and lit her up....nice chocolate rasberry flavor (it's an aromatic).

I knew it would...

    Why I Like....

    this could be an interesting thread....instead of a review, try to describe the taste /sensations/ qualities of a blend and why you like it... I will illustrate... Middleton's Cherry Blend... There is a tartness that makes me salivate....a good thing when smoking leaf that could potentially...

    C & D Black Cavendish

    I ordered some of this recently in bulk, and was pleasantly surprised! The pouch smelled like chocolate and cigars, so I called and was told the leaf is all dominican cigar leaf. And the chocolate note is a result of the fermentation process. After some drying, I lit it up and enjoyed a...
