Have you ever bought a tobacco and after smoking it realize that you just don't like it?
I purchased some SG Black XX and no matter how bad I want to like it I just can't. :(

I can agree with the "give it time approach, but remember that your pipes should bring you joy and pleasure. I have dumped tins before or given them to persons with different tastes than myself.

I agree with all of the above, also, I would suggest trying it again in a different time of year. Sometimes I find that a blend that I like in winter doesn't smoke so well for me in the summer. So I suggest you put the blend aside and try it in January.

Don't give up on it yet. Like the majority here, I'd put it in a jar and see what some time does for it.

Yes. There are blends that aren't in my taste profile. Sometimes I know this immediately and some blends I try in different Pipes, different moisture contents, letting them age and maybe pressing them before I give up on them...
Once this has been done, I'll give them to someone with another taste profile.

If after it hibernates you still don't prefer it... donate it :) Someone must have a love for it or it wouldn't have been created ;) as I always say... 'one man's leaf maybe for another man's vine' ;) Take care ~Pipegoddess

If something doesn't go well in my briars, I try it in the gourd Calabash or one of my clays. If that doesn't work, it gets mixed with something I like, lol.

Hmm, I was watching one of dubinthedam's old videos last night and he mentioned this tobacco and I'm pretty sure he didn't care for it either. Actually, those words aren't quite right, I think he hated it to be quite honest.
