One of the things I wanted to do at the Chicago Pipe Show is try a blend with deer tongue. I have heard that people either love it or hate it. Saturday, I filled my faithful cob with C&D Trinidad, which contains this herb, burley, Virginia and perique. I like all the other ingredients. I also filled a new cob with C&D Nutty Irishman. Did you hear that Missouri Meershaum was at the show for the first time this year? Anyway my son and I moved to the smoking tent. We sat at a table and I lit up this new blend. Immediately I found that I had inhaled tiny particles of tobacco through the pipe. After cleaning my tongue, I relit. WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE TASTE IN MY MOUTH?! My son said he did not enjoy being downwind of me, but loved the change in my facial expression. I tried, I really did try to smoke this blend to try it out. But after 1/4" of tobacco, I gave up. My son was also happy that I switched to the Nutty Irishman, that has a much better taste and room note.
Afterward, I found the Pipesmagazine meeting table. Since Kevin was wearing a tie, I thought it was a business meeting and did not want to intrude. If I had realized the meeting was going on, more of you guys could have enjoyed my facial expressions.
I am sure that others enjoy this blend, but I will NEVER try deer tongue again.
