Making Deathmetal Proud!

[skraps]

Little bit of TAD arrived today. This isn't all of it, but the part that I knew DM would appreciate. In all its glory...

 

[pagan]

Nice smoke, but it's no Black Frigate :rofl:

 

[hmhaines]

I'll have to look into that. Any tobacco worth buying eight tins of is probably worth me giving a try!

Let's put it this way... I would have bought more, but that was the remaining stock at Marscigars.com, lol.

It's really for the experienced pipesmokers. Maybe come back to it after a few decades. The kiddos that try it while still in the infancy of their smoking experience all seem to have adverse reactions to it.

:laughat: Michael you basically just challenged mr haines to a duel.

 

[kanse]

Stalin approves.

 

[ophiuchus]

Smoke one tin now and age the rest.

Took the words right out of my mouth. ::

I have a tin opened already, these 8 are getting put back into the cellar. No touchy for awhile!

 

[gmjabsky]

That's a three lifetime supply of RY for me

 

[tinsel]

Damn! Eight less tins for my cellar ... :D
I had a brief love affair with the Yacht ... in the last month or so it seems to have lost it's appeal for me. I'm sure I'll come back around eventually, my tastes seem to go round in circles.

Like riding a bike.

Good leave me all the Carter Hall!!!!

 

[randelli]

@tinsel- does it go round in circles, or, does it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

 

[deathmetal]

Glorious and beautiful! Nature's finest tobacco, in sufficient quantities for a weekend.

I just bought NINE tins of Black Frigate.... :nana:

High quality Virginias, tobacco flavor is not muted by the topping, can smoke right out of the tin, packs easily, burns well! What else do you need from a blend?

Well, more flavour from the tobacco.
Don't take my response as meaning I dislike RY; I like it well enough. But I do prefer more flavour from a blend (especially burley cocoa/nuttiness or latakia rich smokiness or oriental/perique spiciness). The plum-like topping took me a while to appreciate on RY, and I am still neutral on it (bear in mind, I've smoked merely 8 tins -- and none of it "aged"). I have a few tins put away... I hope to get more flavour out of my RY in time to come ::

Mighty fine. Every bowl a good one.

 

[ophiuchus]

This thread just influenced the choice of my next bowl ... ::
