Ok, I Get It (Black Frigate

[dj11]

So I got my tin of C&D's Black Frigate. I kept reading about it so my curiosity got the best of me. After one bowl I can see that it's going into regular rotation. I love it! I also got at in of C&D Corn Cob Pipe. Really good too. Another discovery this week was McClelland's Balkan Beauty. All three are great additions. And all of these after I found University- The Dean. I am on a roll!!!! Thanks for the education I receive on this forum.

Hanging out here can lead to harder things... like the infamous Royal Yacht. We are enablers of the highest order.
That's cool that you liked it. I actually have a tin of the Frigate set aside, but I was waiting for it to get a tad cooler in the evenings. That's when I enjoy a touch a Latakia more, for myself,

Glad you found some great blends. Every once in a while the blend is as good as the hype. I love Black Frigate. I might try corn cob pipe soon.

Time to set sail, Swabbie!

Not to be that guy, but after investing in 10 tins of Black Frigate.....it's not for me. It's very good, but not my thing. I know it's a different flavor profile, I'm sticking with Squadron Leader.
So, who wants some Black Frigate?

You'll find a boat load of them around here!

I received my first tin of Black Frigate in the mail yesterday. This is the first tin that I have ever opened between the mailbox and the house out of many tins received in the mail. I am sitting on probably 75 different blends that I have not even tried yet. I smoked two bowls yesterday evening and liked the stuff pretty good!

All aboard!

What does it taste like? Once a kid in a B&M shoved a bulk jar of it in my face and I found it rather odd. It was interesting but the jar was strong.

Never fails, someone says they like BF and all the sudden it's "Hi Sailor!" :rofl:

This is a blend I'm interested in trying. How does it compare to something like GLP Gaslight?

 

[hakchuma]

Gas light & black frigate are the only two tobaccos that lived up to the hype for me. It's real. Gaslight is a tighter kake/plug with to me a more pronounced oriental and Latakia flavor. No rum topping.

When I first joined the site some time ago, Black House was the new darling. I bought some, enjoyed it and still have some. Funny how that works.

 

[jerwynn]

YEEEHAAAAAAWWW!!! Another satisfied and happer customer/camper!!!! :D

Welcome aboard matey.
If I have one complaint it is that I wish BF had more latakia. I can barely notice it's there.

 

[skraps]

I keep reading about this, but am just too worried about the Latakia. Is the Latakia a supporting player or front and center?

Sounds like I might like now. Too much Lat in the blend is like too much salt in the soup!

 

[crashthegrey]

Everyone is hopping on the boat. I think I'll buy some in my next order, just don't know when my next order is going to be. I keep meaning to order but I have some jars that I need to work through first.

 

[hakchuma]

If you are worried about the Latakia you can try blockade runner it's all Virginia soaked in the same rum and is from C&D who make black frigate.
