A few days ago I cracked open a tin from the mid 2000s of Orlik produced Bell's Three Nuns. Is this anyone's favorite blend? If so, why? Enjoy the tasty pics.

I'm still smoking it and getting a feel for the blend. But my initial thoughts are a bit mixed. I would certainly describe this as a medium-full body smoke with a darker sweetness that makes me think of a simple stout beer.
It is certainly a very mellow, excellent dry smoke, and the ash seriously broke down to a perfectly fine powder. I smoked 3 bowls with a varying level in moisture and was surprised by the consistency of the cool/dry smoke.
The Kentucky seems to show up more as you progress to the end of the bowl. I know I'd be a little bit happier if this had perique instead. The jury is still out for me.
