Well, I never got to try the Frogs before MC went belly up, but I did manage to get ahold of a single tin of Frog Morton. I duly jarred it and had a bowl of that in a cob months ago, but didn't get much out of it.
To-day, I was finally able to have a smoke and give my recently acquired Curvy its initiation. I was thinking of Vintage Syrian or even HGL, since it's not broken in, but for some reason I grabbed the Frog. Well... all I can say is that I finally now understand the lamentations over this blend's demise. From the charring light I got an amazing flavour—creamy is how I'd describe it. This stuff is good.
It wasn't very dry, nor superbly packed, so I required many relights, and was pleased that my reverse calabash does smoke cooler indeed. Yay!
I have to ask, what's the ingredient that gives Frog Morton such smooth and creamy taste (and aftertaste). Is it present in other blends that are still extant?
