My first ever bowl of Amphora original in the country gent cob I got from diamondback this Christmas. This is a... surreal moment for me, because this is the blend which started it all. I remember being a very small child, and it was my first encounter with an old man smoking his pipe. I specifically remember telling my mom how good it smelled, and she even asked and then returned to me, repeating two or three times one word-- "Amphora", "Amphora", so I could grasp it. I never forgot that word, and since that moment throughout life I would prioritize walking down the streets in new york city if an old man was smoking his pipe, and I had to cross, I wouldn't, just to simply the enjoy the smoke wafting in the air.
A big surprise too, because this blend is delicious. Perhaps I'm just biased by sentiment, but the kentucky really comes through, and whatever flavorings added are very subtle. Sweet, nutty, a hint of smoke and cedar-yness from the Kentucky, good stuff.
