BriarWorks tobacco

Just noticed this on Laudisi website. Anyone heard details about it?

Link please! Briarworks teased months ago that Cornell & Diehl would be producing blends for them by November, but then I never heard any updates after that (at least not on Instagram, which seems to be a primary communication channel for them).

They look like they come in actual mason jars, which must be a pain to pack so they won't break and also the extra shipping weight has to be costly. There is going to be a Laudisi rep at my local B&M this weekend, if I can get there, I'll ask about it and will ask any questions any of you may have.

They had Bacon Old Fashioned and Pete's Beard Blend at the West Coast Show. Both were enjoyable. Pete did mention the VaPer flake in that it was in development and he had a sample which was rally good.

Pete's Beard, now that sounds appetizing, how about Dave's armpit ?,I mean come on, gotta be able to do better than that. Then again there are some blends out there that sound worse.

There were two more blends teased a while back, "Sweet Tea" and "Unsweet Tea." Maybe aromatic and non-aromatic versions of a similar mixture? I guess those two aren't ready yet.

Bacon Old Fashioned

They're just messing with us it isn't bacon flavoured :mrgreen:

"Why yes, I'm smoking 'Bill's Anus.' It's a Latakia blend."

Interesting how SP does not have it listed for sale.

The Bacon Old Fashioned is quite good ! I'm not a fan of aromatics and the tin note is very citrus-y with the Dark Fired leaf just a faint background note. In the pipe, they switch places and the citrus is just a hint while the Dark Fired is dominant (though not overpowering by any means, quite light actually). It is a nice change of pace from heavy blends, without being too light.

Didn't see that coming!! 8O :rofl:

 

[gogosamgo]

how about Dave's armpit?

Haha that definitely gave me a good laugh

Take existing C&D stock, add redneck hipster appeal, drop it in a jar (because shards makes tobacco more manly) and add half again to the price....Brilliant!
Edit: price is just slightly higher than msrp of gl pease.

There's a lot of very good, very popular blends out there much cheaper. Don't think I'll be trying Bill's Anus or Dave's Armpit anytime soon. :crazy:
