OK here we go again with the armchair anarchists! I have smoked both the 1930s War Horse, the 1950s iteration as well as a batch of late 1970s early 1980s, the latter was also sent down to Jim Inks for comparison. Some of the sh*t that went into the original War Horse would make your head spin and would be like making RYO cigarettes out of XXX Black twist. Trust me when I say if we had duplicated that we would have had one customer! Furthermore due to the knowledge of what we thought the FDA might do, which sadly has made us something of a Cassandra in that regard we had to get something into production that was in essence a reasonable iteration of War Horse. The original test batches had slightly more topping which resulted in the stuff tasting like Bazooka Joe bubble gum so Russ toned it down and hence what you see with the current War Horse rub your own brand. You are never going to keep everyone completely happy and if we had not had the FDA breathing down our necks we could have messed around with it for ever. At some stage I will go into the endless production issues with the 'plug' which again have caused us endless headaches. At the beginning of this project we set ourselves a simple task, since then we have resurrected a number of famous blends and we will go out doing exactly what we set out to do - give you the War Horse Bar. Few people can say they have done what we have done, spending our own money, time and simply looking to the wider community to enjoy the fruits of our combined labors. Be an armchair expert, hell even be an armchair general and key board warrior, but until you have done what we have done your criticisms are like drops of water in a bucket full of water - meaningless!
