I must say I am impressed with all but one blend. Let's start with the favorite, Killington; I smoked the entire oz in about 4 days. It reminds me if this old fasioned maple vanilla stuff I used to get from Sheffield Tobacconist before they discontinued it. Great mellow smoke and good for all day. I found Otter Creek and Covered Bridges to be similar to Killington but with Killington being favored first, then Covered Bridges then Otter Creek.
Double Fantasy is a great chocolatey/vanilla java kind of thing. I liked it as well for the morning smoke with my espresso or turkish coffee. They really set each other's subtleties off and made for some enjoyable morning smokes.
Now onto the least favorite although I will say the room note is nice and wife liked it as well. However, when I smoke any tobacco with any kind of cherry flavoring in it (and this goes for food and drink also) I can't help but be reminded of the cherry novocane lollipop the dentist rubs on your gums before the needle goes in for freezing. I can't stand that taste and it makes me gag and dry heave. I'm actually getting that ball in the back of my throat talking about it. I find it awful tasting but that's just my taste buds. My good friend Jake was smoking some today (I gave him the whole bag minus the half bowl I took out) and I did like the smell of it and he really enjoyed it. It just wasn't my kinda flavor. I don't know why I don't like cherry flavoring but I do like cherries. Not canned or jarred or marchino I like fresh cherries or jam or jelly from fresh.
I will add that I will be adding Killington and Covered Bridges to my rotation of everyday blends. My every day rotation consists of 4noggins Three Blind Moose, PS Nougat, PS LBF and LTF and finally Mac B's VCF. Rich has two more winners IMO. Good one Rich! Hope there's some on hand for my next order
