[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 488350, member: 1365"] Just started getting paraphernalia and some of the blends in. Got a 70mm roller and three kinds of papers plus the D&R Two Timer, Ramback and Rimbouche SJ...so, a Burley, an Oriental and the SJ VA/Per. A couple of initial impressions on the blends. My recollection of these was that they were shag fine, near crispy dry, had little character and burned like a blast furnace. Not too charitable, eh? Now? A WORLD of difference! So... 1. All 3 tins opened with no vacuum whoosh. Interesting. 2. The moisture level is dry, yes...about like a John Patton blend from 4 Noggins. To me...spot on. 3. No shag here. Ribbon cut and even some torn larger leaf in with the Rimbouche SJ. 4. The tin aroma of each blend was absolutely enticing with promise of flavors just waiting to burst forth. Quite exciting actually, for those of us that find such things so. 5. Dis gon be fun, Cher! Tomorrow I try my hand at rolling. This should be something akin to Laurel & Hardy meet Lucy Ricardo.
