I have been mixing up some baccy of late and would like 5 people to try it out on my final product. It is sweet, fruity and full bodied. I am calling it Halfling's Leaf. I was thinking of Hornblower's Leaf, but I like the latter better, and no, it is not a rip-off of Hobbit's Weed, I just like Tolkien.
I am tweaking it this week and should be able to send out beginning of next week.
So, if you wish to try, add your name here so everyone knows when 5 are done, and then PM me with your USPS details and I will shoot you some. I would expect a review, good or bad, so all can hear.

Damn, sounds nice man. You're in the US right?
Might try and get some, but dunno about how much taxes ect. would be to the UK.
Thats if you're comfortable with posting overseas of course.

In the US, yes. I could just send it as a gift so no VAT to you. I used to ship things world wide, so I know how to do it. Should be less than $5.

I have 4 addresses, I need 1 more taker. They go out tomorrow as I am now satisfied with the blend.
BTW, this is free, I just want you to post a review.

This last batch that I sent out is as follows: Tin note slightly cocoa with a berry over honey. Room note, berry, cocoa and lots of honey. Wife says she would eat it. :) It blends nice together and nothing overpowers the other. Flavor, here is where I worked hard. I wanted a berry and Meade and that is what I got. The berry is under-noted and the Meade is all over it. Not a bit of bite and there is a sweet note on the tongue. This lasts well after the smoke is done and the Meade pulls well after you are done.
I look forward to see if that is what others see too.
