Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful forum members, I had the opportunity following this post to sample some Pelican. I expected little, due to the wildly varying accounts of most. I have smoked one bowl in a small clay for pure taste, and was blown away by the complexity of the tobacco, a narrow bowl not quite doing it justice, as it changed repeatedly throughout the smoke. I then put it in a fairly wide chambered bulldog meer, and man, the nuances are crazy. It is strong in the latakia department, but then grassy, haylike, spicy, smooth, bold, cool, warm. I'm not sure I am a fan, but I am not sure that I am not a fan. I look forward to working through the rest of the sample in a briar or two to see where this blend goes.
