So there I was sitting in the sand, filled with desperation and fear, when out over the water a black shape appeared. As I strained my eyes, a shape came into view. It was a giant black frigate ship! I lit the signal fire and waited. As the long boat approached, I heard the Captain call out permission to come aboard. So seriously I just finished my first bowl full of black frigate and it's wonderful! It helps that I am spending the week at the beach! I taste chicory and dark black molasses up front and the the spicy Turkish leaf gives a slightly spicy and smokeless from the latakia. Needless to say I am HOOKED! YUM!
