Keeping the write-up brief tonight since I wrote a near-dissertation on another post.


Lots of love and hate going on today. Plenty of blends were smacked down, but plenty got back up again. We're slowly narrowing in on a winning blend, but at this point it'll take a miracle (in the form of several -2 votes) for it not to be Rouxgaroux, for now they're coming for the honeydoux toux.

Quite a hate on towards FVF. I think I know which blend is going to be the survivor...

 

[pinem]

Rich Dark Honeydew +2

If it wins, maybe Laudisi will start importing it (Rich Dark Spring Dew) again. Comeon people, let's not deprive a generation of pipe smokers from saying "who put rose geranium in my honey...maple?...what the hell is this?!?...pipe tobacco"

Also, my wife likes the smell, and it mixes really well with DBE, and I have a cob that is so ghosted everything else I smoke out of it tastes like RDH.

Thou canst not hate that which doth not combust (unless you've got a blowtorch handy).
