Troost Trial

[foggymountain]

I got a free sample pouch of Lane's Troost, a cavendish. It was out of curiosity, I didn't expect much. In a briar, I was right, not very good. Then I tried it in a MacArthur cob. It was a wonderful smoke.

Can you describe the flavor you got when you smoked it in the cob? I'd like to know.

Interesting that there is that much difference between the cob and the briar. I wonder how much of the improvement was to the fact that the cob was a deep bowl.

I gave my sample packet to Psycho Bob at the B&M. 'Nuff said.

I also ordered the Troost as my free sample, about 6+ Months ago, I don't think it is going to make it to me.

Jiminks: I am unable to describe the flavor, but the review referenced after your comment describes it well. It was boring in a briar, which goes along with the reviewer who calls it one dimensional. For some reason I can't explain, it came alive in the cob. It was a new unsmoked Macarthur.

Foggy: thanks. I may have to try it sometime.
