For some reason my gut is telling me not to buy this. Up now for anyone interested.
Exact same here, just substitute "wife" for "gut."
Good one!! Hahaha!Exact same here, just substitute "wife" for "gut."
Thank you! I'll be here all week...
But in all seriousness, @mso489 said something a couple days ago about discovering stuff in the cellar that he didn't even know was there. Same thing happened to me doing a little inventory this weekend, and that's a clear signal to me that I really should hold off on most stuff right now. This one's no exception--after all, I've got at least half a dozen aromatics that have identical or nearly identical flavor profiles. No sense in redundant cellaring, right?

Thats exactly how I feel about all the damn English Blends I have. While I could taste slight differences (sometimes) I could have totally done without a bunch of them. I am not a heavy aromatic smoker so that alone had me hold off on it. Can't miss what I never had so I won't be buying any. lol. I recently fell for Newminster Superior Flake and I rather buy more of that.
Dang. I was hoping it was a topping of turkey, gravy and potatoes.
I decided to try it out this year after liking their burley based cuban mixture so much. I like the occasional non-goop burley based aro.
This stuff is top notch.
I'm skipping this year because I have enough from prior years to last me quite a while. Get some if you like Burley blends.
Although this is an aromatic, it's more of a complimentary aromatic in that the nuances of the very fine leaf they use comes through in all its glory.

I've gone through 2 units of it over the last 2 years and I still have one more in reserve.
It takes me half the year to use one up, so I will skip this year,as well.
It's a nice blend but it doesn't always call to me.
Just thought the people who often miss out ought to know!
@lonepiper You should add those things and report back with your findings! I do recommend beginning with a cob.....

I have a good amount saved back for many Thanksgivings to come. My favorites from LJP are the trifecta of English; Tashkent, Royale and Omega.
i smoke a lot of aros and needed an excuse to try some blends from LJP so here we go. got the thanksgiving day cake and an oz of Tashkent and London Flake to try.
It is a pipesmoking tradition in Boston on Thanksgiving. A burley semi aromatic. Perhaps Peretti original blend with additional topping pressed into an easily breakable cake and packaged in the same way for decades. A bit soapy on first light but pleasantly flavorful. Sadly, for those of us in Boston purchasing it is likely out due to the flavored tobacco ban. It is, however, worth trying.
