I received a sample of this fine tobacco today. Sliced some off the plug, let it sit for 15 minutes or so. Smoked it in my BC Bulldog.
Now, I understand that I'm new to tobaccos and pipes, but this Latakia blend doesn't smell anything like the other Latakia blends that I have - e.g. Frog Morton Cellar, Dunhill 965, London Mixture. I'm not complaining - it's just quite different, to my nose, anyway.
It seems every time I try a new tobacco it becomes my favorite. I have a few more new tobaccos that arrived with this sample, so perhaps tomorrow I'll have another new favorite. I do know this: my next order will include an 8 oz tin of Gaslight.
I did have some difficulty keeping it lit, however. Perhaps it needed to dry more, though it didn't smoke wet (or hot). And I packed the bowl very loosely.
Even with the re-lights, this was a wonderful smoke on a rather cool and windy Cleveland summer evening.
