New Three Nuns Mixtures: Virginia and PERIQUE

[briarfriar]

I cannot find any information on availability yet, but a post on Facebook from Sutliff says new versions of Three Nuns are coming to market. Three Nuns Yellow is a Virginia; Three Nuns Green has Perique.

We need to conjure up Jiminks on this!

They also showed a tin of their new Balkan blend today.

Workman: I have already tried the Green, but can't release the review until MacBaren says so. I can tell you I enjoyed smoking the tin. It's a VaKyPer, btw. I should be trying the other two blends soon.

Oh, boy!!!!

Yeah, now that's what I'm talking about!

Did the original version have Perique?

The Bell's original did but that's been gone for 20 years.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I thought it did, but hadn't smoked any since the early '90s.

Three Nuns had perique until the end of 2003.

Some KY in a vaper sounds tasty!

Listen to the radio show, the "original" is hard to pin down due to the many varying recipes that have existed, and no way to tell which is the "original" that you remember. I am excited to give the green a whirl soon, I hope. The yellow is an interesting concept, but I'm not sure if it was necessary.

Mac Baren couldn't just try and recreate a vaper, they had to go throw in some kentucky to make sure it will taste nothing like the original. It could well be they have created a great new blend, but it won't be like original TN.

Except there was a Kentucky version of Three Nuns, which is what MacBaren resurrected several years ago. There have been various "original" versions of the blend, not all with perique.
I'll give these a try, but I've already got a near perfect substitute with Savinelli Doblone d'Oro, so I don't care one way or another.

I am smoking some Doblone d'Oro now. Will probably give the green a go just to try it out.

Glad the other two nuns finally showed up.
