Instead of a tin, he's shoved into my cob. This is my first crack at smoking a codger blend and I'm not sure what to expect.
Before I taste smoke I smell it coming off the charring light: strongly reminds me of regular old cigarettes. Oi.
After the first few puffs I am neither offended nor blown away. There's a hint of sting on my tongue, though different than the Virginia bites I've encountered. Being that this is a BurleyDish I wonder, do different tobaccos have different bite?
Anyhow, the flavor I'm getting is a bite vague: sort of woody, but not strongly so. Couldn't point you at a particular wood with complete confidence, but I'll say that Oak would be the closest cousin of this taste.
A soft, sweet, smooth fruit dances around the fringe, making me wonder if this box spent too much time near the cherry or vanilla PA.
Note: excellent for smoke rings. Major bonus for silly old me.
There's no grand complexity, but the flavor doesn't seem like it could become annoying or intrusive. I can see why our predecessors might have kept a pipe of this going all day. If I weren't attempting to review, it might be easy to momentarily forget that I'm smoking
There is, a little ways into the bowl, a green flavor pulling up alongside the woodiness. Not some variation on hay like a virginia, not quite grassy, but very vegetal. It reminds me of the stem of a leaf. All hints of vanilla and fruit have disappeared. Perhaps they were but figments.
Just after mid-mowl.
That woodiness has merged with the greenery to become a slightly nutty flavor.
If I recall correctly, a solution is a combination of ingredients that join into one thing, where a mixture is a combination of ingredients that remain distinct. This smoke seems to be a mixture. I can pick apart the flavors and focus on one facet, or I can taste them as a whole. This is a trait I like in my smokes!
Ends of the bowl, those differnt flavors become one unified taste: green wood. Cut a young twig off of an oak tree, shove it in your mouth, and you'll have a less smokey version of what I mean.
Interesting smoke! After-bowl aftertaste is cooked sugar. Mmmmm.
