Anybody else open a new tin of this recently? I just got in 2 tins from SmokingPipes. Popped the tin yesterday, loaded up a bowl to smoke on my way to pool league. Fired it up and thought I bit into a bar of soap. Yuchhh. I thought perhaps I had smoked something odd in this pipe, blamed it on the pipe.
Fired a different pipe up this morning I knew had only had straight VA or VaPers in it, I had smoked SG FVF in it yesterday and it was excellent. Same soapy, floral flavors again. So I think it is safe to say it was the Astley's 44 and not the pipe.
Anybody seeing something similar? I asked Harris, he said he'd read where they recently changed the blend. If that is the case, hope they change it back.
