去年的2020错过了,据说用的是10年陈的V草+17年陈的P草,今年岂不是11年陈的V草+18年陈的P草?(官方好像只说了是18年陈的P草)那还说啥,先囤上10罐,坐等测评。


Last year's 2020 missed it. It is said that the 10-year-old V-grass + 17-year-old P-grass was used. Isn't this year 11-year-old V-grass + 18-year-old P-grass? (It seems that the official only said it is 18-year-old P-grass.) So what else is there, first stock up 10 cans and wait for the evaluation.

Gee that’s a great review of ‘Meh I let you know.. you know when I smoke it I guess’

‘Reviews’ do my head in sometimes.

Guess the reviewer missed that this year's Virginia is a completely different crop, with 20 years of aging and a different kind of flavor profile, noticeable floral notes and less sweetness.

I only ordered one tin, and I also really needed some pipe cleaners, so I needed to keep the shipping costs down. Bloody shipping rates are just to ridiculous now.

2 packs of 100 BJ Long cleaners and the one tin of Cringle, $6.70 shipping.

To be honest, I’m thrilled, but, I’m really loving Esoterica’s VAs/VaPers, they’ve got me spoiled!

I still have a boatload of 2020... and more tobacco than I'll ever be able to smoke anyways. Plus all the other special releases I bought this year. They just go straight to the cellar. I rarely smoke these blends until they've had at least a year or 5 of cellar time.
