Somebody please send me some this year. I'll bet that 99% of us joking about it have never tried it, and I want to be in the 1% that has...
You have to work your way up to it. First smoke Elwood Flake, then Holly's Non Plus Ultra.
Here's a review of Holly's from 2006, well before the quality of everything began sliding downhill:
"The memory of this tobacco haunts me to this day. I have severed all ties with the person who insisted I try it, and destroyed the pipe it was smoked in.
Things I would rather smoke than this blend: -C4 -Donald Trump's hairpiece -The powdered brains of my own children
The only worse-tasting tobacco I've ever encountered was when a friend of mine took some chopped up pieces of a tree, put them in a bag, and gave them to me as a joke."
After this, you should be ready for Captain Black Grape.
