Hi
@gawithhoggarth hope all is well!
I’m just giving constructive criticism, in case in the future, when you are rethinking, doing different blends, especially if you wanted an actual Tropical Blend, I wanted to share with you.
I’ve lived in the Tropics my entire life, and besides Hawaii, I’ve lived and visited through Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. A lot of this too, I have been involved with tourism professionally, so I have a good understanding of many of these island’s cultures, history, lifestyles, food, etc..
Blackcurrant, cherry brandy, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, rose and geranium, these are not tropical.
I noticed on My Smoking Shop UK it mentioned for theses descriptions;

These descriptions would not be true of tropical flavors, or visions of…
So I only wanted to share, that these are not correct representations of Tropical in case that is what you actually wanted to embrace, rather then melding tropical with other flavors.
There is an amazing amount of tropical fruits, and lesser known ones, that would be great to make blends from, that would still be all 100% natural tastes of the tropics.
