My tastes outside of Latakia blends tends to be fickle. The two blends I absolutely enjoy outside of English blends are Dunhill Navy Rolls and MacB ODF (have 4 lbs of that stuff - love it).
So seeing how I detest pure VAs - I was happy I found a Vaper I enjoyed in Dunhills Navy Rolls, it lead me to buy a few other Vapers to try.
Enter Beacon Extra.....
I like a few of McClellands blends, but they seem to be more nuanced and light. I’ve yet to be blown away by any of their blends, but I do know they have quality VAs and the reviews seemed to say that this blend had a nice dose of perique so my interest was piqued.
So I fired up my bowl and early on I found myself enjoying it. Again, it was very balanced, nothing overwhelming the other but it was yet another instance where I found myself wanting more.
As the bowl continued I was happy with my purchase as the perique came through well enough but then the bowl immediately turned for the worst. Halfway all I could taste was ash. The flavor just disappeared. This continued all the way to the end and left me wondering what happened? It was just bland ash and some acidity - nothing I would consider enjoyable.
Would love everyone’s opinion but I’m just thinking outside of Frog Morton as a light smoking English I’m just giving up on McClelland.
