Change of strategy. Got to thinking about having to re-type the WordPerfect doc when I'm all done and since I am inherently lazy and a bad typist I won't do it. Instead I'll just post as I go and maybe individual discussions will spontaneously happen. My final post will be my "puts and takes."

First to bat is Maduro Cut Cake in a Dunhill group 5 Dress straight billiard. This is absolutely righteous damned stuff. Pease, quit screwin around and get this to the market.

There was only about two bowls left to the original sample which I understand was a generous sample to begin with. All that remains are dust and crumbs befitting the next passee, Puff Daddy. He will share with his brother Tin Man,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or else.

Babs was waiting on my lazy-boy upon my arival home from work. She is a fine looking lady. I changed from my work clothes and opened her up. As we were having steak for dinner I had planned on having a cigar afterwards but glanced at the G&H rope staring at me. I have had ropes before so I sliced off a couple of thin coins and rubbed them out onto a paper plate to air out. What a tasty smoke. Cigar-like yet not too much. Even though I had eaten a good meal, about 35 minutes and at around mid bowl(given it is a smallish castello 32) i tried to stand up and let out the dog. Big mistake, almost did not make it to the door. Can someone loan me a walker when I smoke this. If I try this rope again I will make sure I smoke it even slower.

Thanks all and have a good night.

Please post as you go. I think that's half the fun anyway. Looking forward to it.

I've already had my sample of the cut cake on the first pass. I plan on buying some as soon as it's available. You and knock yourselves out.

How 'bout we kick the time spent with BaBs up to 8 days ? She's getting big and she don't like to be rushed.

Am having a problem with the Maduro Cut Cake. It's not the same as my previous sample. Seriously, it's because the box pass is here in the same room. I have moved it into another room and shut the door. REALLY! I will have to do that with each and every sample. Gonna be a busy six days for the Mrs. No sex for her,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,gotta stay focused. Sorry Hun.

That's what I did.

Go to the box, get the sample.
Load the pipe, leave the room.

Go into the man cave, back yard, spare room, whatever.
Focus on the sample.

Wife will have to wait, be supportive and understanding.
It's only a week out of her life.

NAH! The Mrs. loves to fetch. It's good to be .

JP. I dip skoal straight long-cut when I can't smoke a pipe or cigar. I tried chewing a few of the s&g ropes( #4, blk xx, and #4 wiskey) they all burned the heck out of my lips, does the g&h ropes have that same affect for you? But I still like the flavour of the ropes smoked just got a little caried away with my puffing.

Next up, Stokkebye's Luxury Birdseye Flake. Smoked in an Ashton XXX Sovereign group 5 straight bill. I have wanted to try this for some time and appreciate the opportunity to do so now. This is a reasonably priced bulk. According to tr.com, what do they know?, this is a high quality vaper with a touch of unsweetened black cavendish. I could not detect the presence of perique. The cavendish is only slight but is apparent for brief moments in both taste and aroma. I have never been enamored with the Dutch blends put out by this blender or others. Bullseye is a quality blend of va's with just a hint of cav. It is a quality honest tobacco. I detected no toppings or flavorings. It indicated at times that it could get hot and I adjusted accordingly. The sample was much dryer than I typically smoke. I would easily consider it an all day smoke followed by an evening english/balkan. If I remember at my next order, I'll put up a pound. Good stuff.
