GLP Haddo's Delight Mini-Review

[sablebrush52]

Different strokes for different folks. A lot of smokers love Germain's Balkan Sobranie, and I find it utterly vile, the tobacco equivalent to rectal seepage.

I think another bowl of Haddo's is about due for me. I'll post any new (for me) insights. With any blend, there's never a conclusion, only the latest bowl.

Back in 2001,I tried some Haddo's Delight,and it just kicked my behind.This was during my transition from the Latakia world.That transition took about four to five years.

I wonder how it would be now.I remember the raisin like flavor.

Just fired up a new bowl of Haddo's in my first Meerschaum sent to me by Sante/fishnbanjo, in tribute to the passing of the man himself. Meerschaum has the trait of clarifying and defining blends, and it certainly does with Haddo's. I'm getting a better sense of the dimensions of the blend, liking it.

Thanks, MSO. Appreciate your coverage of this blend. And very nice that of you to smoke a bowl in honor of Sante. The pipe world has truly lost a great friend and advocate.

As readers of "What Are You Smoking" know, I've enjoyed Haddo's from time to time, and am something of a convert. I have most of a tin left, so I'll learn more as I go. No whale nose coating experience yet. I'd reorder it eventually, though I have such a wide array in my cellar including heritage blends from Dunhill and McClellands, and some fine SPC, other GLP, and C&D, a Haddo reorder could be far off. Thank you, snoopy'.
