First Impression: Rattray's Exotic Passion

[cosmicfolklore]

Yeh, I was looking through TR to see if there might have been a Rattrays strawberry aro that he might be getting it confused with. There was a ltd Summblend that had strawberry toppings. The tin was similar, but if he was sent some EO... I just never tasted strawberry.

I received a sample of it.. it's possible I didn't get the full experience.
but to me it was objectionable and it nearly ghosted my pipe after 1 bowl.

I enjoy this one and the empty tin has a place on one of my Golden Shower of Memories shelf.

 

[sandollars]

Nice review. Makes me want to open one of mine. I vacuum sealed the cellophane bag, then put back in the tin. I save a jar that way

Uh oh … if you find berry flavor objectionable just wait until you get into that tin of Devil's Holiday. It's an all out balls to the walls berry bomb.

I like Devil's Holiday. ?

actually I sent it to Embers..
did you smoke it @chasingembers ?
did it taste right?

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I thought it was one of the better Aro's I've smoked but since I don't care for Aro's, I didn't smoke half the tin. HU Bahia Orange is better IMHO but again, not good enough to make any rotation I have.

Devil's Holiday is another favorite. I have several pounds of it for this pipe.

I've not noticed any ghosting with Exotic Orange.

 

[anotherbob]

I thought it tasted like a strawberry air freshener. Do not want.

great now I have a mental image of you chowing down on strawberry air fresheners. Just like people do with potato chips.

it's a pretty good cav mix for sure.

did you smoke the Exotic Orange bag I sent you? That's the one I thought tasted like the air fresheners.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

You do know that those air fresheners don't taste the same as they smell.

Yep. EO is a regular of mine.?

Oh I believe it.. it tasted the way the air freshener smells.

I wouldn't know, I don't lick air fresheners, but tobacco blends do.

Tobaccos lick air fresheners?

 

[BROBS]

But ask @alaskanpiper I’m tasteblind. ?

not sure how I manage to taste all the other blends I like. Maybe I don’t? ?
