A few weeks back I opened a tin of Dark Star generously gifted to me by Bob (Rmbittner). I let it sit for aalmost three weeks while I finished my tin of ODF. Today I was looking for something different to smoke and decided it was time to try it. I was a little nervous it would be a hassle getting it lit and keeping it lit due to many reviews I've read. Well I had no issues. I let it dry for only about 20 minutes. I took one flake folded it three times and then took some of the smaller pieces from the tin and pinched them into cubes. I twisted the plug into the bowl lightly pressed down and topped it with the cubes. It lot up perfectly and after the char light I was able to keep it lit pretty well with only a couple relighys throughout the bowl. I loaded it in my little lovat.
All I can say is it was an awesome smoke. Sweet, spicy (herbal), a absolutely the coolest smoking VA I have encountered. The texture of the smoke reminded me of a good cavendish, creamy may be the proper word. The smoke also had a little tang too it. It's been quite awhile since I smoked something and all I want is to smoke another bowl or five. This will definitely be a cellar stocker for me. If the rest of the personal reserve series is this good I will be a very happy puffer. I'll let you know what else I find in this blend as I smoke through it, most likely in record time
