Archy Bought Some Plum Pudding, And Ordered Extra For Me

Really sweet of her. Here's the biggest chunk of Pudding with the little Butz Choquin billiard I smoked the first bowl in. The Butz is my first pipe ever, from the eighties sometime, after falling in love with Tolkien's books.

The Plum Pudding is a complex English with Orientals/Turkishes, Perique, Virginia, Latakia and even Cavendish for some sweetness, and tastes like soil. Earthy is the more commonly used term. It's rich and creamy, but balanced and very tasty. Plus being Krumble Kake, you have to mess with it before you can smoke it, which I like to do.
The best part of the surprise was she didn't just send me some of what she had, but said she 'ordered extra just for me'. Pretty sweet. Pipers are the best.

When she asked me if I liked Plum Pudding it sounded hideous, I thought sickly sweet and treacly. I looked it up on tobaccoreviews and changed my mind. Having smoked a couple of bowls, I think I know why the blender called it Plum Pudding: it's a special, rich smoke for special occasions, like a single expensive bottle of Belgian Tripel beer.
I love it. Luxury Navy Flake remains my favorite all-day smoke, for it's unvarnished tobacco flavor, but I love me the Englishes, Orientals and Balkans for treats.
She didn't send it to get anything, but I have a return pack of goodies I'll send as soon as I can. Girl's in school full time, and working part time for peanuts, so it was an extra kind gift.
@daimyo: It came in the P&C baggie marked Plum Pudding, I just took a chunk out for the photo.

Yeah, it came in a 4oz bulk baggie. I didn't know you might get flake like pieces if you order a tin, but Krumble Kake if you get bulk. Meh, it's frigging tasty and I still have to mess with it before I can smoke it! Thanks archy

@boss: Hey, if you blame me, you have to also blame the other 99% of us on here that are incorrigible enablers, including you. So there
@fnord: archy is a treasure, don't worry. I noticed her posts when she first joined a few months ago. They stood out for her intelligence, kindness, grammar, and the fact that she always had something to say and didn't post fluff. One of my favorite posters. I do hate her dad, though. He restores old European sports cars from the fifties and sixties. His latest for sale is an absolutely cherry 1959 TR-3A. It's bright red, comes with a white hardtop if you're in that mood, and is completely restored from front to back and top to bottom. Previously she sent me links to pics of a sweet old Alfa Spyder he had for sale. I really hate that guy.
@andy: If Mississipi River's as good as Plum Pudding, I would like that too. When I sent archy her CARE pack, I sent her what I had, which was mostly aros, and they are her least favorite tobaccos. I sent what I had; I wish I'd had more Puddingy types to send. Oh well, she likes the Nording Horn, unless she's lying to be polite. Hope not; I'm not lying when I say I love the Pudding.
