Cabbie's Mixture - I Was Right

[shanez]

I was right. Imma have to cellar this stuff.

Broke into my tin from Santa and gave it a spin in my Benjamin Westerheide Danish egg with cat's eye shank:



The tin note was wonderful with a nice stewed fruit component.

I smoked it straight out of the tin. It took a couple of lights to get it going but once it was I had no problems. I'd recommend a short dry time but wouldn't say it is a necessity.

Initially I was getting some hay and bread flavors but that soon changed. It developed into a tangy citrus and raisin-y taste with a light savory spice that was always present but in the background.

St James Flake has been my favorite VaPer and this ranks right along side it in quality and enjoyability. It's nice to now have 2 blends like this that are actually quite different for when the mood strikes for one or the other.

Now to get some more to make sure I always have it readily available.

About all I can tell you is that with the legislation coming at us you had best buy all you can.

I kinda laughed at your comment this morning about potentially liking Cabbie's and maybe needing to cellar.

Thought to myself, yup he's screwed. He's going to like Cabbies. That Secret Santa gift is going to cost him a couple of hundred $$$.

I don't mind my cellaring habit. It's really nice to find another blend I like enough to cellar.

When I want a sweeter, richer smoke I'll have St James Flake. When I want a tangy, fruity smoke I'll have Cabbie's Mixture. Options are a good thing. Maybe I'll get bored and mix them 50/50 and see what I get.

That is a beautiful pipe. What is a cat’s eye shank if I may ask?

I believe it's the shape:



The grain on this thing is amazing. I got it for a song in Blue Room Briars Black Friday sale:

Beautiful pipe. I've been looking forward to trying the tin of Cabbie's Mixture I picked up a few months ago. It's too bad it's not sold in boxes like FVF or St. James.

 

[Sonorisis]

Like Cabbies very much. Room note is also appealing to others -- or, so they tell me.

 

[SpookedPiper]

Awesome tobacco! It's worth cellaring!

When I want a sweeter, richer smoke I'll have St James Flake. When I want a tangy, fruity smoke I'll have Cabbie's Mixture.

Now I need to get my hands on some St.James to try (which will be easier than waiting for this to become available again).
