Hey guys,
So at this stage of my pipe smoking, I would say that 90% of the time I stay away from aromatics and instead focus on light englishes or virginias--but only if they contain a bit of what I call "natural sweetness". I can't get into 965, have only had 1 bowl of chelsea morning that I liked, but I really like aged FVF, Frog Morton Across the Pond and Spillman Mixture, you dig? If this makes me a cretin, then so be it. The Cretins must know how to smoke a good bowl!
Now, I know the reality might be that the sweetness in my tobaccos of choice aren't natural at all. But this is beside the point.
The point is this: I have blended something that I think you'll enjoy if you track with my particular tastes.
It is equal parts Anniversary Kake and Trout Stream (both of which are unfortunately only available at www.pipesandcigars.com if I'm not mistaken).
I like both on their own at certain times. Trout Stream tastes and burns like it smells in the pouch, which is rare in an aromatic. It adds an extra dose of sweetness to the Anniversary Kake which is a virginia that's already sweet and a bit sour. The result is delicious.
If you try it, tell me what you think.
