Hello, again!
So today I received an order from last year consisting of a 2 oz bulk bag of Autumn Evening as well Voodoo Queen. I decided to try out the AE as the smell was purely magical and I had to taste it. So I went out to my favorite smoke spot (I hate smoking my pipe out in public) and puffed away. What can i say? It simply tasted like hot ash. I could just barely pick out a maple flavor, which is strange considering this blend was advertised everywhere by everyone as an Aromatic that actually tasted like it smelled out of the tin. Maybe I am smoking too fast, but even when I tried to slow down it gave me no satisfactory results. I lit it up in my garage before going out and when I got home the whole garage reeked of burnt tobacco, so the room note was far from the heavenly smell that I was promised.
I will probably give it another try tomorrow, as first impressions usually are a little bit deceiving, but I'm rather sceptical.
