A week or so ago, I bought an aged tin of Blackpoint from pipestud.
I had never smoked this stuff, but I figured an english with 13 years or so of age probably can't go wrong, so why not.
Rarely do I smoke a bowl of something new and immediately declare it perfect and delicious, but it was, so I did.
And so was the second bowl, and the third.
Just for the hell of it, I tried a smaller bamboo stemmed pipe. And honestly, the taste while smaller, was the same.
Latakia,Va and orientals blended in perfect harmony followed by a presence of perique lingering and the end of every draw.
It was predictable, consistent and delicious every time, every draw, from the beginning of the bowl to the last.
I have never experienced this. Now I must buy some new BP to see if the magic is the age.
Anyone else smoke this wonderfully blended mix? What are your thoughts?
P.S.
the stuff stayed lit with out any effort and didn't get harsh when I pushed it, almost uncanny.
