Here’s a scientific depiction of an anatomical dummy that depicts where on the doll Haddos Delight hurt me.

Well one thing is abundently clear; I have been preparing my hobo incorrectly for years!
I don't know...I had a Brazilian girlfriend who was both those words on steroids.
The ultimate in disgusting flavors is by far Samuel Gawith Fire Dance Flake. You know that taste you get in your mouth when you puke and then choke it back down, that is Fire Dance. I have smoke my share of losers over the years but only one thing comes close and that is GH Ennerdale flake.
Autumn Evening. Something about it tasted to me like chewing on celery seeds.
I don’t really have anything that I’ve tried and hated. Maybe mixture 79? I kind of want to try that one again though. This thread definitely makes me want to try Haddos and Haunted Bookshop.
Everyone’s tastes are different, so I wouldn’t tell anyone to avoid a blend. However, if someone asked me for a blend that tasted like a tire fire smells, I would whole-heartedly recommend 1792 Flake.
What comes to mind are C&D blends. In the past I encountered more than one with tobacco mold. I can't help but wonder how many other smokers experienced the same mold, but not knowing any better chalked it up to simply a blend they didn't like. 
I particularly admire your holistic use of chiaroscuro to highlight the dichotomies between passion/ennui, aspiration/ennui, and mindfulness/ennui. You work moved me so profoundly I catharted on the spot.
The spot’s over there, by the way, be careful not to step on it.
What is this odd obsession with hobos? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I guess hobosexual is the new metrosexual.
Paladin Black Cherry is one that just didn't set well with me, along with Captain Black Cherry.
There really aren't any blends that I wouldn't recommend to someone b/c everyone's tastes are different, however, I smoked 1 bowl of Redburn and couldn't finish the bowl. I jarred it and will check on it in a few years. For me, I think the rum topping is way too pungent. I'm sure there are plenty of you out there that love Redburn, but for me, for now, just not my thing.
I would never explicitly tell anyone not to try something. Tastes vary widely. I've seen people smoking some pretty vile crap, and enjoying it. Like War Horse, for instance.
Mixture 79. Tastes like dusty hobo taint. Presbyterian reformation is also ass gargling dook shit.
My dear Aunt Ennerdale ... she's the one who wears too much lipstick and gives all the kids big wet sloppy kisses. She's an eccentric lady with outdated sensibilities, an exclusively hot pink wardrobe, an encyclopedic knowledge of erotic literature, and a penchant for flavored liquors. She talks too loud, has absolutely no filter, and you will smell her three days after she leaves. She's a living legend in the Gawith Hoggarth lineup and holds down a firm position among my absolute favorite pipe tobacco blends.
Ennerdale is the reason why pipe smoking was invented.
From your experience, what exactly is Dusty Hobo Taint and how did it taste compared to Mixture 69?
I didn't love it when I tried it a while back.
Last week though I had a bowl from a 2000 tin and it was REALLY good. So.. you know.. if you can catch a tin from 2000-2003 it may be worth a second chance.
