Hay & Molasses...

[puff_not_snuff]

Yep, since 2000, but I'm originally from Texas, and at the moment I'm visiting family.

It's too bad Funkerhouser is no longer around you would dig him! He was sweet like molasses but a bit dark too...

I get heavy molasses flavors off of Marlin Flake and Wessex Campaign Dark Flake.

PS 41Cube Cut, he has chocolated sweetness. You can try, maybe you like............

I never got much hay from PS41. But it's a great blend anyways and certainly worth having on hand.

Not much hay, but it’s heavy in the molasses department.

Gawith and Hoggarth Rum Flake.

The Country Squire’s Green Dragon would fit that bill IMO.

He left?!? When.... and was there a reason why?

I absolutely love the flavors of hay and molasses. Call it the country side of me. What blends do you feel have the most of these flavors? Blends, that is, that do not have molasses as flavorings or casings.

I think just having a life.

?Molasses you say? May I make a suggestion?

Do you dry your Granger? Or do you just smoke it straight from the tub?

Brown Sugar Flake is terrific, but I don't see it sold in the U.S. A member sent me a whole tin of it years ago. I smoked right through it, never jarred it.

I prefer its moisture level fresh and I jar it immediately. I have dried it and found no benefit, not even to it’s burn characteristic. It’s a ready-to-smoke OTC.

Mine, however, seems to be a minority opinion on this forum— as many here swear that drying Granger somehow transforms it. I don’t find that to be true for me and it’s my all time favorite blend.

Experiment for yourself and enjoy.

I've been smoking it lately. I've experimented with different levels of moisture but have become content to just smoke it as is. Pretty good stuff.

Everything has a casing and most have some kind of flavoring added. Mac Baren Old Dark Fired or Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky come to mind.

I may be off, but I get a little taste of molasses sweetness with Solani Silver. SG Kendel Plug has hay and some sweetness. I also like Hu Haymaker for the same reason.

You could try Newminster 400. It has an herbal/grassy component, a dark sweetness, and a baked good quality to it. While not exactly molasses per se it makes me think of molasses cookies/gingersnaps/graham crackers when I smoke it.

Or you could just go with something that indeed does have molasses like Sutliff Match Ready Rubbed or Savinelli Jupiter.

Yeah, #400 is a good one. Now that I’ve tried their #403 though, I’d say it has way more of that going on than the #400, at least to my taste.
