Aged Wessex Campaign

[saltedplug]

I only had a few smokes of this but I don't remember why I didn't smoke the tin. To me it was a delicious, smooth, dark VA. I remember making plans to get more, which I always made, but the buying was a different matter. Probably I wandered off in the direction of DF. If a blend didn't kick, it wasn't worth my time.

How would one compare this to Capstan blue,?(some year back I succeeded to buy two tins while on travel in Russia)14e each

I like Capstan Blue better. When it has 5 years plus, Wessex Dark Flake can get fairly sweet and rich. Fresh, it is rather bland to me.

All of my Wessex Brigade is from mostly 2012 and then a little from 2013 and after I got around the 215 tin mark I quit buying and it became hard to get. It started getting a little tough to get in 2013 but it was never out of stock for long. I love the stuff aged, it is sweet and has a molasses thing going on. It has no hey or grass notes as I hate that shit.

Back then Peck was also buying big quantities and I know he has over 200 and would not be surprised if he had over 300.

I'm glad to hear that, I've got a blue ready rubbed and a blue flake aging as we speak!

I don't know Peck, but if either of you guys ever wanted to offload a few tins, I know a guy who might be interested. Just sayin'
