Have you ever bought a tobacco and after smoking it realize that you just don't like it?
I purchased some SG Black XX and no matter how bad I want to like it I just can't.

Put it to the back of the cellar for a year, that's what I'd do anyways.

Set it back. You may be surprised a year from now.

I can agree with the "give it time approach, but remember that your pipes should bring you joy and pleasure. I have dumped tins before or given them to persons with different tastes than myself.

I agree with the majority. Set it aside and one day it could hit the spot!

I agree with all of the above, also, I would suggest trying it again in a different time of year. Sometimes I find that a blend that I like in winter doesn't smoke so well for me in the summer. So I suggest you put the blend aside and try it in January.

Don't give up on it yet. Like the majority here, I'd put it in a jar and see what some time does for it.

Yes. There are blends that aren't in my taste profile. Sometimes I know this immediately and some blends I try in different Pipes, different moisture contents, letting them age and maybe pressing them before I give up on them...
Once this has been done, I'll give them to someone with another taste profile.

If after it hibernates you still don't prefer it... donate it Someone must have a love for it or it wouldn't have been created as I always say... 'one man's leaf maybe for another man's vine' Take care ~Pipegoddess

If something doesn't go well in my briars, I try it in the gourd Calabash or one of my clays. If that doesn't work, it gets mixed with something I like, lol.

Hmm, I was watching one of dubinthedam's old videos last night and he mentioned this tobacco and I'm pretty sure he didn't care for it either. Actually, those words aren't quite right, I think he hated it to be quite honest.
