Is that why I found a bloody horse head on my pillow?Extracting forgiveness from an Italian can be one of the more futile endeavors in life. My wife is 50 percent Italian so I am keenly aware of this.

I kind of like that one. Like not disappointed I smoked a tin of that. But man that stuff will ghost a pipe. I've never had any issues with ghosting until that stuff. Everything tastes like currants for a long time after smoking that stuff. Another one you shouldn't try is Brebbia Quartetto which tastes to me like mulled cider and will ghost too. Both in my opinion aren't bad but more topping then tobacco. Yeah you should try that one so you have another blend to add to this list.
Better than receiving a fish wrapped in newspaper, I suppose.
it's our job. Making music is actually just incidental to our corrupting influence.You gotta watch out for those musicians! They'll lead you astray any chance they get!
I like moldy leather! I love OJK, but, yeah my first taste was a serious WTF moment. It took a while to get the hang of that one. I think it tastes like a musty, rotting barn. Which I also like.

I bought it earlier on in my "career" while trying to find a special occasion aro for around company. Half a bowl, gave the rest away. I don't think I've purchased a non-Boswell aromatic tobacco since, it really put me off the style. I may have to put that Brebbia on my next order, just for entertainment!
I personally recommend both not as tobacco that will be well loved but as extreme examples of what pipe tobacco can be. The one thing I liked a lot about sweet mystery is how apropo the name is. It doesn't have a distinct taste like something as much as this ever shifting field of sweetness. And what's weird is it's nothing like the other blends by the same company that I've tried.
with the proviso that taste in tobacco is personal and subjective:
1. Rattray Exotic passion (overwhelming)
2. Captain Black Grape ( just God awful)
3. Pease Visions of Celephais (too much of everything)
4. Rattray Bagpipers dream (eau De Hair Tonic)
I note that while I mostly smoke Red Virginias (in a variety of forms and blends) that I like some heavily cased/topped aromatics (Devil's Holiday, Autumn Evening, Milonga) so that while my list contains aromatic blends it is not because I hate aromatics...just the ones above.

I thought Visions was C&D. And I find I don't really have a type of blend I like. There are aros that I love and Englishes and VAs especially the reds. Which means I have to kind of just go by my gut. And my gut has told me to avoid all the ones you have mentioned.
Estorica blend I forget which type pure
Junk to be honest I thru the bag out.
How anyone can pay that money for a product is beyond my conception.

I agree it can something to get used to fresh. I let mine sit in a jar for six months and it is smokeable now, at least for me. Smoothed out nicely. Hopefully you have the same experience.
Autum Evening is the only blend I have thrown in the trash. The chemical burn on retrohale was painful and it tasted like I was chewing on celery seeds. Taste is subjective though, there are blends mentioned here that I personally like.
Try it. I love it. Doesn't mean you will but somebody else hating it doesn't mean you will hate it either.
I have found tin note to be a funny / fickle thing. Most tin notes are beautiful and the smoked tobacco equal. Some tin notes are of rotten fruit or old socks but the smoked tobacco is awesome.Methinks Logs got a bad batch. The stuff is excellent, IMHO
Sort of like cheese, some of my most loved cheese smells like yuck but mmm it tastes so good. I like Jack knife plug. ?some of the blends i have tryed that i could put into this category like Plum Pudding first time i tryed it my tongue burnt and shriveled up. I now like .
Early in my "journey" I had a hankerin' to try Sir Walter Raleigh...I tried everything I knew at the time (not much, to be sure) to get it to taste minimally acceptable, all to no avail. I finally threw the rest of the pouch away. I know that tastes change over time, so some years from now, I know I will have to try it again.
Anything with Latakia, Perique or Oriental in it....why not just squirt a bottle of my wife's perfume in your mouth.
I have not but i will do so. Thanks for the suggestion
