    Basic Mc Barens Blends- Aros or not?

    @sallow - Sorry, maybe semantics... but peoples "opinions" of what a blend are do not a definition make. Just my opinion... or definition... errr, nevermind. Agree to disagree works though. Not really that big of a deal.

    Basic Mc Barens Blends- Aros or not?

    And therein lies the misunderstanding. An Aromatic does not need to mask the tobacco flavor to be an Aromatic. University Flake is by all definitions an Aromatic. There is a topping added to the tobacco after it is processed.

    Oh man, Banjo. There is something about that Lindbergh that calls to me. Nice haul.

    Basic Mc Barens Blends- Aros or not?

    I have always thought that they need to expand the descriptors, or find a better way of defining them.

    A Newbie Reviews: C&D Crooner

    I smoked this for quite some time, but it grew tiring on the taste buds. Deertongue is certainly an acquired taste. As far as the nic hit goes... that's the C&D Cubed Burley. It's got its fair share and is one of the best cubed Burleys out there in my opinion.

    Basic Mc Barens Blends- Aros or not?

    My uneducated guess on that one would be that whatever flavors are there, would be done at the casing stage. Unlike University Flake which has an actual topping applied.

    Basic Mc Barens Blends- Aros or not?

    The question that Tom posted about Aro's that are not top dressed... not sure if I missed a response to that, but I can think of one. I'm pretty sure C&D Autumn Evening does not have a topping, but the flavoring is added during the steaming process. I could be tooootallly wrong on that though.

    Basic Mc Barens Blends- Aros or not?

    Fact is that each of those three blends is topped, not just cased at processing. They are no doubt aromatics.

    Bowl Size By Group Number.

    Well, sometimes they say the more width, the harder it is to get depth.... Wait.... what were we talking about again? 8O

    Scrapey Pipe Cleaners

    What Duane said. I typically have to bend just the very end straight. They get jacked up when they cut them at the factory, and sometimes in transit.

    A Newbie Reviews: Escudo Navy Deluxe

    I'm enjoying your sampling adventure. The reviews are great... simple, to the point and not trying to dig too deep off the bat.

    You will get a "Shipped" email. They are crazy busy with the flood of orders. Might not hurt to give them a call if you are concerned. Mike is a good guy.

    You Have It All Wrong, My Friend

    I'm staying in the library at recess from now on. Too much childish behavior out on the playground. :roll: You have accomplished one thing for sure... that user will NEVER PM you about anything again... EVER, lol.

    I've Got Gas... Boom!

    Sorry to hear about that. Really sucks. Hopefully it doesn't do long term damage, but I guess only time will tell. Pictures of the goat walking or it didn't happen.
