Both awesome blends.

What Tobacco Are You Trying For The First Time?

MacBaren needs to start sending me commission.
Smoking it started with mild grassy flavours . . . re-lit once and this was way down the bowl so singed off some thumb hair . . . youch. Post smoke I can taste the fruity flavours.
Here it is in my Angel Share pipe . . . somewhat roomier than it looks due to some faults in the briar that have been burnt out.
Got a great deal on a tin of SPC Plum Pudding a few weeks ago. Just loaded up my first bowl and am puffing away happily on the porch.
Plum Pudding is a great tobacco and even better is Plum Pudding Special Reserve.
I managed to get ahold of some of that too but I haven't received it. I also purchased several of the other SPC blends recently where I could find a good deal but I haven't cracked them yet.
I think Joe Lankford is particularly adept with Latakia blends. He does some sort of magic that makes you take notice.
I had my first bowl of Full Virginia Flake yesterday. I have been really enjoying straight VAs recently, and FVF was delicious!
Had my first bowl of Dunhill tobacco, the 965. Bought 3 oz at this B&M store that really specializes in cigars yet has a big jar of the Dunhill among four or five others jars (the bulk Lane blends; 1-Q and such). I’m going back tomorrow to buy up the rest! Har har har... My town is sooo stupid.
If you get a chance, try MacBaren HH Pure Virginia. I like it better when fresh.
As it happens, I have a tin of HH Pure Virginia. I am looking forward to trying it for the first time.
Trying Dan Tobacco Da Vinci. The smell out of the bag/tin is divine. It reminded me of a salted amaretto margarita. Sadly, most of the flavor didnt cross over with the smoke. I did pick up some salty vibes, but it didnt do much for me. I have a few more bowls worth to see if im going to purchase a tin.
Hope you like it.
Finally got around to smoking a bowl of Old Dark Fired. What a treat! Can’t believe I waited so long to try it.
Recently tried C&D Sansepolcro and GL Pease Chelsea Morning.
First bowl of Sutliff Molto Dolce
How does it compare to Labrador?
I think and like the hazelnut profile of the Labrador. I would say that the Molto is much wetter. I let it sit for 5 min before packing. May give it 15 min next time

Peterson's Sherlock Holmes. Very tasty. A sweet Virginia blend that's very mellow but can bite if puffed too hard.

Some 19 year old Frog Morton on the Town. I cracked the tin for about 15-20 minutes before I smoked. Normally, I'll open my tins, let them sit for 5-10 minutes, then pop the top back on and set them aside for a few days at the very least.
The first smoke was nice. I kept on thinking that this blend reminded me of a more subtle version of Bengal Slices, with a little less Orientals and spice. I didn't detect any of the vanilla notes that many describe in reviews, but after 19 years, some changes are to be expected.
