Yesterday I received a small TAD with some Escudo, a couple GL Pease blends, and a pouch of one of the new MM blends- Missouri Pride - for the heck of it.
I've wanted to find a real simple, burley based, "codger type" for times when I want a short, easy, almost "mindless" smoke.
I threw it in a 1950s Kaywoodie apple and sat on my back porch.
Like every other blend I've tried in this genre- I was disappointed. I really want a blend like this to be for me but, they just aren't. I think at the end of the day I don't like burley forward blends, and I can't seem to come around to aromatics. I found it to be rather short on flavor, and easy to bite. I'm about finished trying blends like this, and in fact, I've got some tobaccos I might offer up for trade, this will probably be in it.
The only other blends I might consider trying is something in that new H&H series - I have a lot of respect for Russ. I have over a pound of Anni Kake in my cellar and am working on a trade to add another 8 oz
