Black Frigate

[thefishguy]

To me it’s like Royal Yacht with extra pepper. I like it.

I wasn't determined to like it, but I did like it right away, nice robust flavor but not harsh or over-nic'ed. It's fuller strength, so you have to tolerate that. I smoked through the tin pretty fast. I'll order it again, but I have so much tempting blend on hand, it may not be right away.

I have had a tin tucked away now for about six months. I’ll crack it open to celebrate spring I think. Sounds promising.

olkofri - where did you find it in Canada?

I haven't tried Black Frigate because...

Well, how about a viking?

Halls Of Valhalla

In my opinion, one of the greatest JP songs ever written.

How so?

It is a dessert because of its niche stronger taste, as opposed to mellow every day smoke.

Different palates always amaze me. I always found that one mild, and easily an all day smoke.

Ordered it from tobaccopipes.com.

That would be Aromatic English, BF lite.

And yet BF's no aro.

Moving this one to Tobacco Discussion.

I feel like this thread was keel hauled.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Well, I guess I am glad I asked the question, and appreciate the action taken. Learned to notice what section it's posted in, esp. noting that Al gets pestered with extraneous comments in those threads. Won't happen again.
Now I am sorry I have no opinion on Black Frigate, though it's on my list to try.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

And yet BF's no aro.

Agreed. It's more of a navy blend with an addition of latakia.

I feel like this thread was keel hauled.

It was at least thrown in the brig for a while.

 

[woodsroad]

Good on Javan for not making this thread walk the plank.

What him say also too.

That is irrelevant. Bottom line is I feel that it tastes too strong for me to have more than once or twice a week.

When I first smoked it, I remember that room note as a smell of something like a dirty butcher-house where people would be smoking different kinds of almost rotten meat...
I found it unpalatable and stinky at the beginning, but now I can tolerate it. I still find the smell kind of bad though.

I think it smells lovely :: But then, I'm a butcher though, so.... :rofl:

Thanks to my secret santa I got to try BF. Now have 5 tins stored and more on the way. Great stuff.
