Persian Slipper Notes

Going to be long-winded here with a purpose.

Though I love hardcore tobaccos, I love my sweet ones as well. Bought all sorts of new flavors and could taste NONE of them. What I thought was Tobacco Tongue turned out to be more allergies affecting my buds. Some antihistimine later I decided to brush my tongue as well.

First stop was Briar Patch Peach Cobbler. Has a wonderful smell, like the title.I did (first time was pre-tongue brush with no taste) get the fruity notes this time and though not the most flavorful, certainly was an okay smoke. I start out at 3 stars and add or subtract from there. This would be 3.5.
I have mentioned having a jar of Captain Spice from Tinder Box since 2008. I also found food grade tubs of Peach Melba and Mango Tango from TB as well. From the jar notes I don't think Captain Spice, which is all black cavendish, aged well. More to follow. Peach Melba and Mango Tango are simply sublime. I had PM in a tub and in a baggie. I had taken all the air out of the baggie oh so long ago. When I found it, it was inflated wonderfully.

The reason all this went missing was during a period of two leg breaks, different times, I spent months in the hospital and rehab and my Wicked Sister-in-Law, just kidding, helped the wife sort out my stuff.
I consider Nightcap to be the best of its variety, giving it a 5 star. Peach Melba and Mango Tango, as a flavored aromatic, after ten years, are within an inch of that. Unfortunately, Tinderbox sells neither anymore.

Faithfully or Fatefully submitted,

MSO and Tom, I have not been out of the house in six years, I think. The rare times I was were paid for by weeks in bed. I am not even sure we have a B&M TB anymore. The last one was in one of the most beautiful indoor outdoor plazas, so nice that I used to take dates there to walk around. Last time at TB there, almost 20 years ago, the place was a ghost of itself thanks to teens and gangs, one group about as destructive as the other. The both that I found, along with another tub of Captain Spice, have aged quite well. Without driving myself nuts I will... ooops, drive my self nuts, though in a good way, looking for a new steady.

"Back in the Day" that I was referring to we also had a Tobacconist in a Victorian Style outside plaza surrounded by a couple hotels. Very nice. The Tobacconist named his blends after Holmes names. What I assume was Captain Spice was Grimpen Mire there. At sixty, even imaginary moments are dear. I look at old postcards blown up to a 32 inch monitor and it looks like I am driving down the street of some town in Montana or Arizona, etc. Naming tobaccos to match the flavor is pretty important to me. Childish, maybe, but I am happy in my land of...
