BriarWorks - Smokehouse 2oz
Nag Champa incense
When this blend launched I was SO PUMPED; I thought we were getting an HH Bold/Old Dark Fired replacement. I WAS WRONG. Jeremy, I'm sorry, brother, but this tastes like a 7/11 smells. This could probably be a decent blend if the Latakia was toned down by about 80%. Unfortunately I couldn't taste any of the DFK or natural air cured product in the blend, just chalky powdery incense. Based on the reviews, some people love that, so, more for you guys 👍 Smoked in an MM Missouri Pride natural, no filter.

Cornell & Diehl - Haunted Bookshop 2oz
All day good, and stout.
I can't understand how so many people hate this blend; the only thing I can imagine is that they're smoking it too fast or in big gulping puffs (which many people do, especially those who use filters). When I first got this blend, I didn't even know how to pack my pipe correctly. I was packing too tight which caused the smoke to be steamy, incredibly bitey, and ruined the flavor of this delicate blend. When I see reviews that say "all I taste is cigarettes and ashtray", I realize that is all I tasted when I was packing and smoking this tobacco wrong. I've since learned how to properly pack this blend; gravity and some taps on the bowl is all you need. Use a gentle yet frequent sipping cadence (small sips) to coax the flavor out of this blend. Big puffs are just going to leave you tasting black pepper and ashes. When smoked properly this stuff is nutty peppery bliss, with just enough VA to round out the edges and add a slight bready note here and there. The flavor of this blend will get stuck in your nose and have you thinking about it right up until the next bowl. If you like burley, this one's a no brainer. If you tried it and hated it, try it again more gently, and perhaps without a filter. If you're new or nicotine sensitive eat and take it slow 👍 Thanks Matches, and thank you Bob 🤝
