Oh lucky me. Not only do i have the morning off, but my SPC order arrived this morning! Two tins of Royal Twist.
Of course i couldn't resist, so ill give my first (as I smoke my first bowl) impression:
This is damn good, and I'm already pissed I only ordered two tins. Its not as spicy as I was expecting, but the spice component is there and complements the bright, sweet VAs perfectly. There is just a hint of that MacBaren maple-type casing, at least initially. The DFK isn't overpowering, and the perique is there in a fairly strong role. I can only imagine that this stuff will age great, and we'll be trading and selling tins of this into the future.
I'll update as I smoke more and develop a taste for this, I hope as tins land out there that others will add their thoughts.
