Watch City's Double Barrel

[davidintexas]

This blend is set to be released by Watch City on December 9th as per their Fall Blend Release list. Does anybody know anything about it's makeup? I believe it is their annual Christmas blend. JIminks, have you tried it yet?

No, I haven't tried it yet. Ernie said he'd send me some to review when the blend is ready.

Christmas 2020- "Double Barrel" (December, 2020)

I know you've all been waiting for the reveal of this blend! A lot of labor was involved in the making of this blend but I loved every minute of it. First, we took our Crumb Cut Burley and cured it with Jefferson Reserve Bourbon. We sourced a beautiful grade of mixed Virginia ribbon which we cured in Lemon Hart Demerrara Rum. A precious cache of English Black Cavendish was lightly flavored with a unique "Burnt Sugar" flavoring. The curing process combined with the ligjt flavoring harmonizes and enhances but does not overpower the natural flavor of this Virginia/Burley forward mixture.

I wracked my brains deciding wether or not to produce this blend, due to the irony of not being able to sell it in our home state of Massachusetts (Can't ship/sell flavored tobacco to/within Massachusetts) but in the end I decided not to deprive the majority of my customers due to the idiotic legislation of one state.

There's a lot more in the fetal stages and we hope 2021 will be a better year for everyone!
