The sauce levels have varied from one batch to the next over the years, IME. Part of the charm, I suppose. Hopefully there’s not been an adjustment to the saucing.
Yeah. We know.Already have here, it's not Lakeland anymore. It would be like everybody's favorite English blends being replaced with no latakia and still being called the same blend. What's funny is that 3-4 years ago smokers wouldn't admit they smoked Lakelands and the bags, boxes, and tins remained online for months. Glad I stocked up then, especially on Rich Dark Honeydew.
I have.I would really like all the folks who are disappointed with the current stuff to quit buying it.
Excellent. That’s two down.I have.
The last Cabbie's I bought in 2019 was overwhelmed DFK, the last boxes of Best Brown were mold fests. Done.
Variations in the strength of toppings seems to be one of those endearing traits of British manufacture. Germain's has the same issue. However, the quality of that Empire leaf continues to be pretty damned good.Yes, they have repeatedly stated that there has been no change in the sauce l bell but many of us have repeatedly noticed that new versions are barely flavored. That said, they are still great blends but not the same.
You stopped buying it?Excellent. That’s two down.
The irony here, is that if that were the case you would be stoked!It would be like everybody's favorite English blends being replaced with no latakia and still being called the same blend.
No. Dark twist and plug remain the same.You stopped buying it?
You're not wrong. Craig Tarler once made me a pound brick of Black Frigate without the latakia and it was great.The irony here, is that if that were the case you would be stoked!
You used to be fun. Forum life has scarred you.Yeah. We know.
Though we'll stocked, Black Twist XX is still an object of interest for me.Gawith and Hoggarth I would still buy. It's the Samuel Gawith blends, as well as pert much everything else, that I'll skip.
Glad that I bought what I did, when I did.
It’s the repetition.You used to be fun. Forum life has scarred you.
Repetition of what?It’s the repetition.
Forum topics are cyclical and the time between the same topic and the same posts from the same people has been decreasing lately.Repetition of what?
What repetition?
3 times? More like 3 gazillion billion trillion times!Gawith supply and saucing have probably been discussed 3 times each on this forum alone in 2022 already.
Uh oh. Is this like the Frisch's Big Boy conundrum whereby the special sauce differs by state.The special sauce. Too heavy, too light, just right. The special sauce.
I went to McDonalds the other day. I had a Big Mac. It wasn't the same sauce. The special sauce. Odd. I went on a McDonalds Lovers Forum and brought up the sauce isue. Many said it's different. I'm glad I stocked up and cellared a bunch. The sauce.
