Have Any Blends Gotten Better?
And even employees of that company have disclosed changes in where (such as the country) they've source their leaf. Everything changes even if just a bit. To answer the question, I remember noticing a stark difference between the bright Canadian VA Mark Ryan was using and blends produced by...- spicy_boiii

Best VaPer Straight From the Tin
I thought the Rimboche blends were fantastic fresh. No longer around. Deluxe Navy Rolls is decent fresh. Rouxgaroux is great fresh. Sutliff Match Victorian is good fresh. It seems a lot of K&K produced blends have changed enough for old tastings to no longer be comparable or recommended (by...- spicy_boiii

I'm interested in your experiences, a discussion of it's presence in the past/present/future, and any sources or agricultural...- spicy_boiii

Cringle Flake 2022
I'm still smoking the 2020 Cringle Flake, it's deepened and melded wonderfully. Easier to smoke too, as I find Virginias to withstand retaining their flavor at a drier moisture content after they've had some time. I've read great things about the '21, and it sounds like '22 is a variation of...- spicy_boiii

***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***
Some '19 Irish Flake in this Peterson Newgrange Spigot 127. Just the 4 years has made this a great well-rounded smoke, and happy to find it still has all the Red VA of old. Happy St. Patrick's Day.- spicy_boiii
