"Earthy, tangy, citrusy, grassy, bready, unripe tomatoey, sugary but unsweet, floralness, vinegary, smokey, and lightly flatulent with a hint of breakfast cereal." - Evil Jiminks
I'm not far from finishing my review. Just need to smoke it in a meer next.I was just tracking my package now. I am anxious to taste it also. I do wish that I had Jiminks powers of translating smoke into words. Unless he gets a shipment before me, you all will have to suffer one of my reviews.
Wow! They must of air dropped your shipment, ha ha. But, of course, they probably had someone in a Maserati deliver yours, which would only make sense.
I look forward to reading your review, as always.
My review would be one of the three following:
1. Shit's good!
2. Meh
3. Shit's shit
1. Shit's good!
2. Meh
3. Shit's shit
I'm not sure it's for me, but I ordered a few
I'm looking forward to your review Jim! And thanks Shane for the video review, it helped me decide (green light!). I'm glad someone above mentioned the vid review in these posts!
kindly

I just posted my review at TR.
Jim has one of those bank drive thru tubes under his house. SP can drop a can in their end and hit go, then Jim gets it 4 minutes later.
I accidentally scored a sack of Peacehaven and one of St. Ives yesterday, so I'm sitting this one out.
It does seem like there have been a lot of small batch releases, but won't these become a thing of the past with the deeming laws? I'm in on a dozen here...what's the worst that can happen?
Step 1: Absolutely ignore the limited release hype. There are so many great tobaccos, that are readily available, that these releases are just eye rolling.
Step 2: Whatever you do DO NOT jump on the Esoterica hype train. Esoterica is a good smoke, but it's not made from unicorn tears. It's just good quality tobacco. There is a mega S**TLOAD of tobacco that is as good if not better that is readily available.
Step 3: If you find that you like a certain blend, ie. latakia, Virginia, VaPer, Burley, Aromatic, etc., just give a shout out and the amazing members here will FLOOD you with recommendations to try.
Step 4: Don't focus on the destination of acquiring the ultimate tobacco, focus on enjoying the journey, because there are TONS of great tobaccos and your tastes will always be evolving/changing, so focus on just having fun.
Caveat: I'm really a cigar smoker who fell in love with pipes, but my first love is cigars. So take this with a big grain of sand because there are people who will tell me to go pound sand. But... ?

Couldn’t agree more. (Also a cigar lover first and foremost).
Have you ever seen a review by Shane that wasn't favorable? If so, please post!
He has smoked through a ton of tobaccos and seems to have a great palate. I also enjoy his reviews as well as gangs mystery reviews when they do them together, but he isn't going to tell you that it's crap and not to buy it. I think he would give @cigrmaster a run for his money in sales!!

Appreciate it. I've been using the search function to find recommendations for now.
Yeah, I'm not to worried about the limited releases. I have like 20+ blends to try.
On your step 4, I'm kind of in between. I've found a few blends that I really like. Unfortunately the journey has tobacco that smells and tastes like black liquorice and/or wax lips.
Funnily enough I bought some cigars first. While waiting for them I grabbed a pipe and some tobacco. Cigars are still sitting there. Should probably fire one of those up this weekend.
If I were going to buy anything at this time it would be a tub of Carter Hall...
Sure, you buying! He likes it and notes that it's a "singular" blend of the a
Sutliff house, that he is also interested in aging to see what happens with the burley's. Nothing negative in that video either. I wonder if they will do an update to the video with the aged version.
I buy it by the pound and it's one of my top 10.
Ah Crap, I Like Mixture 79 :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion
Just for a lark, I ordered some to see how bad it was. First bowl was very strange, but not unpleasant. Six bowls later, I have a pound of the stuff on the way. Currently smoking it it a straight MM Legend with a cup of licorice tea and some hard Italian licorice candy. BTW, I have always...
