I too and in the middle of my first bowl. The tin note was pretty unique IMO; kinda like red wine soaked raisins. My very early impressions is that I haven’t tasted anything that’s all that similar. There is a tannic astringency, but it’s not unpleasant. A nice mix of sweet and savory, with the savory flavor being something I haven’t really tasted in other blends. I think it’s the kasturi or the lightly fired cured leaf mentioned in the description, but ?‍♂️. It’s not blowing my mind, but it’s tasty and interesting. Most noticeable to me is that it stands out as something “different.” Also, it tastes more like burley to me than something that’s Virginia forward. But whatever, I’ll say again: tasty and interesting.
My pizza is here, so I’m gonna DGT this bowl and see how it is after I eat

Thank you, I got some tips from friends on here, and a few phone calls, and I have four bricks coming. I just get uncomfortable when I buy outside of smokingpipes. I just don’t know when to expect delivery. Plus, I like Sykes and the boys at SPc.
Ha! No worries. I should have known you’d have the hook-ups! Enjoy!

I have my brick of Folklore sitting in my cellar right now. I haven’t opened it yet, but I get a weird spicy bubblegum kind of smell at first whiff through the plastic. It’s a strong smell even sealed, dominates my cellar just sitting there. Very unique for sure, and makes me excited to try it.

I’d guess the tin note changes a bit once I crack it open and actually jar it, but we’ll see.

If you're smelling it, you may have a leak somewhere. You may want to go ahead and jar it up.

Maybe next time there will be a possible golden ticket pressed into middle of the tobacco brick; winner must claim prize within 90 days!
You'll be one of five to win a trip to the Cornell & Diehl factory where you'll be harassed by the pipe thieving Baccy Wakkies while they sing mocking songs at your expense.

I probably should and will asap. Although I do have one hell of a sniffer and I wouldn't be surprised if it is just the tobacco I'm smelling through the plastic or the residual smell from the factory on the bag.

Either way it's getting jarred.
