I don't know what it is about Esoterica blends, but I've yet to try one that I didn't like. Admittedly, the Stonehaven needed a little more dryin out than I gave it the first try, but it is a great smoke.
I absolutely love Penzance but a very close second for me is Margate. I usually have a bowl of it at least once a week.
Tonight, while sittin here in the mancave I caught myself lookin up @ the Esoterica shelf and decided to try the Pembroke sittin up there callin my name.
This is a great smoke. Very rich and creamy. Noticeably spicier than Margate, which I understand is very similar minus the Cognac topping added to Pembroke.
I'm smokin it in my Sav 320KS Author (my Margate Briar).
Sippin on 1792 & water.
