Can You Put your Finger on It?

[eazye77]

Here's a random thought:
What tobacco have you encountered that you absolutely love, but when asked to describe it you just can't compare it to anything you smoked before? No matter how hard you try the words just don't flow. All you know that it was a match made in heaven in your book!
For me so far is H&H Anniversary Kake. Just got my hands on some from P&C as a sample a day or so ago and all I can say is. . . WOW! 8O
Love to hear your comments. Thanks Fam!

FM Cellar and Blue Mountain, followed by Black House! All three unique and delicious!

Yes... But, would I really want to? :nana:
I used to have that difficulty with Samuel Gawith Grousemoor

Bill Bailey's Balkan is like that for me. I smoke C&D pirate kake or da vinci because they have at least 70 to 75% latakia in them. I would love to know how Bill Bailey's Balkan uses 40% and does what it does with the taste. It has that wow to me. ::

I think it's great that you're a "thinking smoker", Eric! :clap:

You might find G L Pease's article interesting: "Don’t Think of a Purple Giraffe"

I have found that my ability to verbalize tastes increases with each attempt I make.

It's kind of like art or musicianship, the more I practice the better I get at relating my experiences.

It's better on some days than others.

I still can't quite place what I like about GLP Westminster. To me, it's a very straightforward English blend, which is actually one factor, but there's something else to it besides having a lot of rich flavor and body.

Good one Lawrence! LOL! :rofl:

Yep still wish I knew what it was that I like about Black Cordial. If anyone can tell me that would be great!

Mac baren dark twist is one of my favorite blends, if smoked right it has a clean "water" taste to it. I have never tasted anything like that before and have no clue what in the blend makes it taste this way to me and have never heard the comparison from anyone else so I would say it's my mystery blend.

Now that would make me want to try that. Interesting. . . .

Be warned eazye the blend is known to bite, and I have never heard anyone else describe the blend that way, it's remarkable how much the nuance flavors depend on the chemical balance/ph level of your mouth. You'll most likely get a sweet virgina with a "plum" type perq taste or scorched mouth. That seems to be the norm. If you want though I can send you a sample.

I know Mac Baren is know for the bite. 7seas was the first tobacco I smoked when I got into pipe smoking 2 years ago.

Thanks Rothnh! You are so correct. It is different from other Va/Per blends. That's one of the reasons I started the post because Anniversary Kake inspired me to do so. A class of it's own! :wink:
