G.L. Pease Bankside in a 1901 Sam McLardy & Co. Meerschaum with a vulcanite stem.
I dried this one fairly crispy this time, only took 30 minutes, and what a different beast, really amazing different profile/notes.
I’ve only started smoking it, but it comes across dried crispy like VA/Oriental, the Kentucky for me takes on more of an Oriental style, which is interesting. At the beginning of this bowl I get no Latakia, I’m assuming the extra drying either killed it off, or placed it so far in the back, it’s just intertwined in the other leaf, adding different notes. hmm
@Ben.R.C If you’ve never dried this one pretty crisp, give it a go, since I know you like this blend.
Be well everyone!
