Most Delicious Smoke With A Nasty Tin Smell?

[ahouston]

Hi!

I recently received my first pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. The moment I put my nose in the pouch, I was convinced it was going to be disgusting. Smelled of cough syrup or some medicine from my childhood. I considered not even trying it!

Well when I lit it up, it became an instant favorite. Not to mention how smooth it smokes!

What are some tasty blends that give an off-putting tin note?

McClelland Virginia blends at first. They reek of Ketchup.

However, once your brain learns to associate that smell with fermented ripe VAs and the ensuing delicious smoke, you begin to actually not only love, but crave that musty vinegary stank of a freshly opened tin.

I usually smoke SG FVF and BB but I recently got Capstan Blue for the first time and thought it smelled of ketchup / McDonald's burgers!

haha, if you thought capstan smelled like ketchup, McClelland VAs will make you think you're bathing in it. It's seriously overwhelming.

SWR aro is a daily smoke for me. Its a smooth blend that I can smoke all day. As a cheap old bastard I find myself smoking OTC's that most overlook

Both Tabac-Manil Semois thick and medium cut, as well as C&D Bayou Night, among other blends, have a strong barnyard smell, a good clean smell as my grandparents used to remind me, not nasty. But methane and manure are definitely redolent in there ... and the smoke is lovely. As for SWR Aromatic, it is burley based, with Virginia as a condiment, flavored with three liqueurs. I think the liqueurs are the "cough syrup," so you probably wouldn't like those liqueurs.

C&D Bayou Morning. I left some out to dry and my wife thought the dog had shit in the house. One of my favorite smokes though...

Old Joe Krantz smells like a musty old barn full of sheep manure. It tastes great.

Gawith Black XX also smells like a hobo's taint.

Depends on who you ask. I found it to be odd, not particularly good. I much prefer their brown ropes, particularly the amazingly good ones made for Synjeco.

Hmm fresh Sutliff 515-RC1 fits the bill for me. Definitely clears a clogged nose when take a deep smell of the jar. I love it though now after smoking several ounces.

Cabbies Mixture. Tin note is that of sheep shit.

McClelland's gives off a very funky ketchup aroma to it. But as it was stated you quickly learn to get over that and enjoy their very mature flavors.
