Dragon vs C&D's Bow-Legged Bear....

[thesmokindragon]

This blend is just outstanding, if you are Full English blend lover, don't

even think about it, buy it by the pound...I popped open a 2oz tin

and sampled it in a clay, as I do sampling a new blend...this has

a lot going on, complex and rich. I love the crumble cake, lovely little

brownie-like chunks in the tin, very easy to break up... Having

with a triple espresso after a crazy rich/spicy meal....the blend

has a nice nutty, chocolate (subtle), smokey and nice spicey/ tangy

finish with the Turkish leaf whisp'in in/out . I want to eat this stuff!
Another hit from C&D.
So good I have to get a few more pounds ASAP ;-)
SP, please-please-please stock up on 16oz tins ;-)

Bow-Legged Bear has been a rotation staple for me for awhile now. I first encountered it when I went to the local B&M and told the guy "What is the strongest, most flavorful non-aromatic tobacco you got?" He didn't say a word. Just reached up on the shelf behind him and grabbed a tin and slid it towards me. It was Bow-Legged Bear.
Admittedly, its not "THAT" strong, but it does have a very unique taste that I think you described perfectly.

I also find I'm really liking this blend better in a clay or Meer...
I had some PAD with clays, so I picked up one of these in black:

Will keep you all posted on smoking experience with her, but so

far I'm very happy with the way she has been smoking...
