I received mine today and it is not something I care for much. I will stick with other H&H blends that are much better IMO. I appreciate the sample from Russ though!

Got my sample yesterday, was a generous amount. My first few puffs were cool, almost minty, then it became what I think of as "red", like stoved Latakia, and it gave me a nic rush. Not really my cup of tea, but I never smoked the blend Russ was thinking of when he started this project. I used a clean briar, but I think I will give it a go in the Sherlock and see what difference it makes. Thanks Russ!!

No big deal Russ, I'm really looking forward to trying this, and don't mind the wait. I hope the high volume of sample requests turns into good sales for you guys!

Second go-round in a clay: much cooler, tasting more of a fruit and/or cinnamon flavor, much like a dry merlot. Getting a little spicy midway through. The briar that I used earlier didn't do it justice, and I don't notice any "red" this time. perhaps more of an evening blend? Last smoke I had was a burley, about two hours before, which doesn't seem to have influenced this bowl. Recommend a clean pallet when trying this one, or only smoking this blend all day. After the halfway point the spiciness went away, and the end is mild tobacco flavor. I liked it better this second time. Just my thoughts, of course.

I might give this a try again after it hits mainstream production. I'm thinking that the pipe started souring, which is why I didn't enjoy the blend at all.
Other than that, enjoy, Bob. I know I have plenty of other blends I need to put my attention to.

Thanks Russ! Looking forward to trying it out!

I smoked a couple bowls from what olderthandirt sent and I like it . My noob palate can not give nearly as detailed description as some others. I did find it a little bitter early in the smoke but then the cinnamon/spice came thru and the smoke mellowed nicely. A good Fall or as it is named Fishing blend.

 

[olderthandirt]

Good to see it's working for ya John!

You'll certainly want to try as many of Russ's blends as you can, most of what I've had from his portfolio is really good smokin'!
