I’d be interested - but dammitall, there ain’t enough dollars and time to sample all the pipeweed there is these days, and I need to sit down with the stuff I already have. I have 2 tins of Pirate Kake I’ve been meaning to get to for the last 6 months...
The Rocky Patel are a Russ Oulette/Sutliff thing I think.
C&D can be hit or miss for sure. I have tasted some real clunkers from them. However, I have also tasted some that I really enjoy like Kajun Kake, Opening Night, Exhausted Rooster, and Bijou.
The RP Prohibition Pure & Simple has a strong caramel taste, with some vanilla.
Are there other RP blends? I don't see any on TP or anything about it being associated with C&D.
I smoked the Rocky Patel test blends, the Warped is better.
Yes, Bijou was decent - I finished that tin quickly but really haven't searched for more.
Cornell & Diehl is hit or miss for me. More miss than hit. There are a few gems in the collection, but I find many of their offerings to be harsh and lack depth. The problem with the limited editions is that by the time you find out whether it's good, or have had a chance to sample some from a friend, the run is gone. For example, I heard Sun Bear was good. I'll probably never find out.
With these Warped tins... Buy one to try? If you enjoy it, it may very well be your last tin--it's out of stock everywhere.
Buy many, in case it's great, in which case you're sitting on plenty? Then get stuck dumping off a bunch of dud tins you don't really care for.
A friend whose opinion I respect really enjoyed Kings Stride. I never would have guessed it. I think though that I'd rather pass on those two blends than have a stack of open tins of others that I don't really care for. After a while it's like scratching lottery tickets.

Ever notice he never gives a bad review for the blends he is selling...err....I mean reviewing?
Lol for real. Like they are going to give a review on a product they created that’s bad. ?
It’s just like the glowing review of mixture 79 he gave while the main Sutliff guy was sitting next to him.........
Right. Like he's gonna shout at the dude, "Man, this tripe blows! Getcher foul pipeweed and your carcass off my Youtube channel!"
Two tins of Red Hunt arrived today. Loaded a bowl. Ordered 3 more for now. If you like Sun Bear, you should like this.
Glad to hear. I just had three tins arrive. However, my protocol with C&D blends prevents me from opening it now. I generally wait a year before I crack a fresh tin.
Just cracked a tin of Red Hunt. First impression is that it's similar smelling to Sir Johns, Ausberry Classic or F&T CVP. Berry with a little vanilla. Drying now, will report back. Very excited.
Haha...there arent any "bad" blends...just "bad" palates!
OK here goes...
Fist 1/3 was a stronger version of Sir Johns Flake. Berry and vanilla. I like this style of flake so this suits me so far. The orientals peak their head out at the very end of the first 1/3, barely. Smooth and easy smoke in the Danish? style.
Second third. The berry and vanilla is fading and the Oriental are drawing near even strength. A little perfume, mineral and earthy. Touch of lemon. Not picking up the perique at all, very little spice so far. There's a whole lot going on with this stuff. The berry/vanilla is an equal participant still.
Last third the perique finally make an appearance adding body and spice. Orientals becomes the main player at this point. The last third is fuller, but still not strong or biting. Retains it's Danish? quality. The berry, vanilla, earthy, touch of lemon is still there but more as an accompanying player.
All in all, a damn fine weed right out of the can if you like this style. Definitely a Cousin of Ausberry, F&T and Dan style of flake.

I
I did too. Started out with Until, next will be Red Hunt.
Had to get The Red Hunt. Something about growing up in 80's and "kill a commie for mommie".. Oriental, perq and Va sounded good.
