Just finished an hour long bowl of Frog Morton's Cellar and was wondering if anybody else had tried it.
I was shopping at a Kansas City B&M before Christmas and a cigar smoking patron, named Carl, called me out when I was poking through their tins of English tobaccos.
"Have you tried Cellar yet?"
"Ahhh, no, Sir. I haven't."
Get ready. He really said this.
"Why the f*ck not?"
Guys, what the hell? Who gets nailed by a non-employee when you're shopping for something to smoke?
Once I stopped laughing I told him that I'd liked every McClelland product I've ever tried but,"... sticking a chunk of whiskey barrel into a tin of pipe tobacco is a pure horseshit marketing move."
He laughed and said, "I thought the same thing until I tried it. Go buy a tin. They've only got two left."
At this point, the lady behind the counter said, "Hey? Got a pipe on you?"
"No. Ma'am."
"Well then, here's a sample. Let me know what you think."
The first bowl knocked my socks off. And then the second bowl did the same damned thing. At first, I wondered about the lack of complexity and then, after the second bowl, I wondered if those two tins would still be there tomorrow morning. The smoke was creamy and thick and the Bourbon came through not only in the taste, so faintly, but in the room note as well.
So, here are the Fnord Criteria:
Is it as good as Nightcap? No.
Is it as good as Frog Morton on the Bayou? Oh, yeah. Minus the Perique it's still just as tasty.
Is it as good as Larry's Blend? Yep.
Well, then..... Let's buy some.

What are ya curious about? The title here suggests a question of some kind.
Sounds like ya got a good idea from a forward fella.
Maybe a good shop ya got there. With some good folks. Maybe you should patron that place more.

I have not tried Cellar yet either. Now you really have me curious because I like Larry's Blend much more than Nightcap. :) Local B&M was charging $27 for a tin of Cellar and I guess that left a bad taste in my mouth. Might add all of the Frogs to next TAD. Still searching for the be all end all blend... So jealous of others who have found it.

Tarzen shoot me your address in a PM. I'll send you a few bowls.
Yeah I'll be honest, I figured the extra piece of wood was marketing and a way to take up space. Either way I enjoy the stuff. Its a fun smoke.

I tried two Frogs - smoked whole tins of both of 'em - didn't like 'em - don't intend to buy any more. If samples show up in the box pass, I will try again, but otherwise nope. More for the rest of you guys. :puffy:
