So I got my tin of C&D's Black Frigate. I kept reading about it so my curiosity got the best of me. After one bowl I can see that it's going into regular rotation. I love it! I also got at in of C&D Corn Cob Pipe. Really good too. Another discovery this week was McClelland's Balkan Beauty. All three are great additions. And all of these after I found University- The Dean. I am on a roll!!!! Thanks for the education I receive on this forum.

 
Hanging out here can lead to harder things... like the infamous Royal Yacht. We are enablers of the highest order.
That's cool that you liked it. I actually have a tin of the Frigate set aside, but I was waiting for it to get a tad cooler in the evenings. That's when I enjoy a touch a Latakia more, for myself,

Glad you found some great blends. Every once in a while the blend is as good as the hype. I love Black Frigate. I might try corn cob pipe soon.

Not to be that guy, but after investing in 10 tins of Black Frigate.....it's not for me. It's very good, but not my thing. I know it's a different flavor profile, I'm sticking with Squadron Leader.
So, who wants some Black Frigate?

I received my first tin of Black Frigate in the mail yesterday. This is the first tin that I have ever opened between the mailbox and the house out of many tins received in the mail. I am sitting on probably 75 different blends that I have not even tried yet. I smoked two bowls yesterday evening and liked the stuff pretty good!

What does it taste like? Once a kid in a B&M shoved a bulk jar of it in my face and I found it rather odd. It was interesting but the jar was strong.

This is a blend I'm interested in trying. How does it compare to something like GLP Gaslight?

Gas light & black frigate are the only two tobaccos that lived up to the hype for me. It's real. Gaslight is a tighter kake/plug with to me a more pronounced oriental and Latakia flavor. No rum topping.

When I first joined the site some time ago, Black House was the new darling. I bought some, enjoyed it and still have some. Funny how that works.

Welcome aboard matey.
If I have one complaint it is that I wish BF had more latakia. I can barely notice it's there.

I keep reading about this, but am just too worried about the Latakia. Is the Latakia a supporting player or front and center?

If you are worried about the Latakia you can try blockade runner it's all Virginia soaked in the same rum and is from C&D who make black frigate.
