    Following Up After First Lat Blend

    Several days ago I posted a thread about some H&H blend that I purchased (10 to midnight and daybreak) and the poor experience I had with them as a first lat blend. I am pleased to report that I no longer taste "bath soap and burnt road tar". The flavors are exquisite and complex and quite...
