I'd like to offer a heart filled thanks to our Brother of the Briar Brian, aka brdavidson, for sending me two samples of Rattray's Tobacco to try: Bagpiper's Dream and Jock's Mixture. For some reason the package got very delayed, and after a couple of pm exchanges, with still no delivery, I told Brian no worries, it was the thought that counted. I've sent tabac before only to have the package disappear. So I wasn't too surprised. Then suddenly today the package appears in my mailbox, originally sent Nov. 29th. How's that for the trusty mail? Anyhoo, no worries. I'm smoking Bagpiper's Dream right now in a little group 3 Comoy's Tradition apple. And I must say, its a very very tasty smoke. I'm not s big aromatics guy, preferring my Lat blends, but this blend smells like heaven, and tastes as it smells. There a Cognac nougat dressing to it that really lends for a,pleasant smoke. I'll be sure to order a couple tins after the holidays. So many thanks Brian! Quality stuff. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and wishing the best to all our members here.
