Met up with Michael at a relatively new cigar bar near his home last week when I visited Birmingham on business. Michael showed up with a couple of Christmas presents for me, small mason jars stuffed with two different kinds of his home grown pipe tobacco. Thank you! One is a light VA with a darker leaf added, not sure if this is perique or what. The other one is light VA. Didn't weigh it but I'm guessing 3 to 5 oz of each.
I finally got around to smoking a bowl of the mixed leaf tonight. I guess perique as the adder as this blend of Michael's has a nice sweet and spicy tone to it, especially in the first half of the bowl. As the bowl progressed, the smoke became very sweet and creamy. I tell no lies, this is superb tobacco and were Michael to go into business, I am certain people would purchase it.
Thanks again Michael, it was great to see you and spend time chatting tobacco and other subjects. Hope to see you again when I visit in the first quarter. Hope you and your family enjoy a great holiday season.
