Spaghetti Western?

[fightnhampster]

Did any body get this? I was waiting for it to come out and then low and behold I see it online as sold out ?




*this post is not an invitation to KBV haters to give there two cents about how he is over rated and Granger is the best tobacco in the world and how KBV is only for hipsters and how SWR was good enough for grandpa and good enough for you so it should be good enough for everybody and just look at his blend names and blend art how can anyone buy that crap when there is so much Carter Hall out there to smoke why would anyone chase a blend only advertised on instatwittertube!!! ?

At least you got that off your chest.

Definitely. Just 2 though because I have so many strong blends in the cellar. I buy way too much KBV. Then again he makes stuff that is not always easy to find (stuff with perique, VA/ORs, tobacco present aromatics, etc.).

I will let this sit for a year though before trying it so I'm useless in helping in this thread.

I'm tired of the constant complaints, whines and digs about the various blenders and companies. Enough is enough.

It’s only to be smoked while listening to Ennio Morricone.

But to the point, sorry, no useful info here. I just found your original post amusing.

I always go with a fedora, as a hat choice.. when I enjoy my Sakura.

I had a bunch of stuff typed out in agreement, but that's just beating a dead horse. In all my interests, hobbies, and time on message boards, it's a pervasive aspect that is always present with humans unfortunately. Insecurity.

Back to tobacco. I like the idea of the new Spaghetti Western, due to it containing all of my favorite "Floral" tobaccos: Dark-Fired (Italian in this one) , yummy Orientals, and perique. It doesn't hurt that I'm a big fan of Red Vas, which is the base of this blend.

No Cavendish, no white burley, no bright VA - a full throttle blend without latakia.

Hell, I go all out. I bought this pipe just for Sakura.

You could knock somebody out with that thing, if it came to it.

Being strawberry wood it's surprisingly light for its size. Comes in at four ounces.


It also shows how my pairings are whimsical. There's a big reason why I picked that one for Sakura.

That's not as heavy as I would have guessed.


What's the reason?

You don’t like Granger? Guess what, more for me.

If I violated some unknown code and you are on the edge of desperation, I understand, that how the lack of rational thought goes.

Oops, I didn’t RSVP.

Sakuras are Japanese cherry blossoms. If you look at the pipe there are actually three volcanoes on it. Sakurajima (cherry blossom island) is a volcano in Japan with three peaks. The blend and the pipe were made for one another!?

You should see what it originally looked like. Bruce first designed it as a nose warmer.

Is the finish supposed to mimic the foreskin of an elephant?

 

[kcghost]

No, can't say that I have.
