These types of threads always get me with my thumb on the Buy Button, but I always talk myself out of it because of my experience with Blockade Runner. All I taste in BR is rum. Same with Haddo’s Delight. I convince myself that Black Frigate will be very similar. Is it me? Or is the rum at an aromatic blend level that overtakes the tobacco?

Meh...I just taste a flat sub-par very Latakia forward blend, with a whisper of rum. I wish that I could find the joy in this that so many others seem to, but it tasted so one dimensionally of Cyrprian Latakia to me, that I lost interest less than halfway into my first bowlful
Yeah, I remember that. Barely any Latakia in BF.

BR has FAR more of a Rum presence.

The rum burns off pretty.After the first quarter bowl when everything settles down it is very subdued.You have to look for it or I should say I have to look for it.I say try it as I am liking the time I have spent with it so far.

I don't have to add anything to this thread that hasn't already been said. I'm just posting now because I consider my duty as a Brother Of The Black Frigate to post on any thread concerning it I see. And so I am.... The 'Frigate' is sublime!
There, I did my duty..... and HOLY SNICKERDOODLES! Look a swimming shark toothed giant squirrel is coming right for us!!!!

I love Lat blends, so I figured I'd like Black Frigate. Man, was I wrong. It just tasted dusty and flat to me.
I'm glad some people love it, because I was able to unload the other 2 tins I had.

Now, now, Brother. That's no shark toothed squirrel. That's just the internet tax boogie man coming for our TAD purchases. Have some more clea-, uh, rum!

Yarrr, going to be needin' to pull into port Cap'n, the crew's done drunk up all the cleanin' solution. Reckon that skull and crossbones on the bottle ain't workin' no more. Maybe we should label it... "water".... Savvy?
