Loving The Tongue!

[tschiraldi]

I finally got up the courage to try Deer Tongue in a blend. I started with C&D Crooner because I was told it's a fairly stout blend, but only contains a smidgen of Deer Tongue, so I thought it would be a nice toe dip into the leaf. I have to say, I love the stuff! I'm going to try Gentlemen Caller next, because it's supposed to have more Deer Tongue in it. Any other fans?

It's better in a French made pipe.

:rofl:
I too love deertongue!

I keep meaning to try some. Not sure why I haven't yet. I understand it has a natural vanilla like flavor?

 

[Chasing Embers]

I get more of an apple/baking spice than vanilla.

That also sounds awesome :mrgreen:

I'd rather she slipped me the tongue.

A slight mint note as well.
Similar to Vanilla but definitely it’s own thing and a classic flavor in American blends.
Every piper should try some if given the chance to see which side of the binary divide they’re on.

I cooked a beef tongue in the crock pot to make tacos lenguas recently. Does that count?

Only if you do it again and invite us all over for dinner. :mrgreen:

Ok, I'll be "that guy".
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!... :crazy:

 

[weezell]

^^^^Some one had to do it...

I think I tried it in Carter Hall ... not bad, but can't say I am crazy over it.

The "odd herb" doesn't draw me in, but I will probably try it unwittingly at some point. Bing Crosby was said to be a deer tongue blend smoker. The more tobacco and less of everything else, the better, for me.

It smells like an old pipe shop of antiquity and I love it. I had a blend from a small shop which I posted about before, but desperately want to try Crooner and Gentleman now.

 

[3rdguy]

I love Crooner, buy it by the pound.

 

[voorhees]

I have some coming from SP.com will report.

 

[woodsroad]

Are they still using the actual plant, or is it a synthetic replacement?

 

[woodsroad]

Google is my friend: FDA has banned it’s use in food. Can cause liver damage, internal bleeding. Use in cigarettes halted in 1970’s.

So...if they are using actual deertongue, then they probably shouldn’t be.
