I'm going to have to try this one, I've never heard of it before.
That Grousemoor is certainly a different bird, though. I get a real "lemongrass" sort of flavor from it. 8O
I agree, I get the lemongrass as well, but there is more to it that I just can't get my finger on. I love blends that make ya think. Dark Flake scented is another one that I thought I would hate but it's made it in my top 5 list, it's superb!
A member from another forum was nice enough to gift me about a 2 inch rope and I'm in love with the stuff... it is a shame that it's no longer obtainable.
To me there's nothing else like Stonehaven or Haddo's Delight.
That's it! I have to break some Stonehaven out of me cellar, I love the stuff and it's been far too long since I've smoked it. I have an open tin of Haddo's but it just doesn't want to get along with me now. I used to smoke it regularly some years back.
Semois is a fairly unique and fascinating smoke for me ... nothing quite like it.
This makes it into my shopping cart for every order but I keep "bumping" it off the list for "next time". I'll have to make the plunge next time... for real.
I am currently working on a VA perique cherry blend. Blended some yesterday and will try it out in a day or so. Letting the tobaccos meld a little.
That sounds interesting... I could see it working, actually. Let us know how it goes. Do you have a thread on the subject?
Most unique in a good way for me: C&D Black Frigate, G&H Ennerdale, Motzek Strang
I've been seeing Black Frigate pop up frequently, It's got my attention now.
Thanks everyone. Has anyone tried the blend by C&D (I think) that uses Deer Tongue? That sounds like it would be an interesting blend.
