I just received my order of a pound of Anni Kake and a little sample of Crooner. 3 tins of McClelland Navy Cavendish are also joining their friends in my big plastic storage tub cellar.
First, the Anni Kake. The FDA news prompted me to get a pound of bulk AK for the cellar to augment the tins I already have. For my smoking rate, that's a lot. I've only purchased tins of AK before, and the aroma I got to wallow in while I jarred it up was amazing; the strength of it was unlike anything I've gotten from popping a single tin. Heavenly stuff that had my mouth watering. Forget the freakshow of an election that's brewing: Russ Oullette 2016.
I'm working on my first bowl of Crooner, and my first reaction is that deer tongue is a lot more subtle than I thought it would be. Just the softest vanilla/mint sensation (I can't raise it to the level of "taste") on the side of my tongue. Very pleasant and a nice side car to the chewy, nutty burley that's needs no other description. I think I've found a good partner for Classic Burley Kake when making a change of pace from my Virginias. I particularly like the burning qualities of the cube burley. The reviews I've read seem to be very much love/hate, and right now I'll commit to like.
