[QUOTE="scottbtdmb, post: 536555, member: 1043"] Picked up a few oz of this off P&C last week to try. Apparently this contains 83.5% Virginia’s, 12.5% Malawi burley, and 4% dark fired. So far I have smoked this in 3 separate pipes (2 briars and a cob), all freshly cleaned from a recent everclear scrubbing. The odd thing with this blend is that despite the VA’s being the dominant ingredient, I find that pretty much all I am getting is the burley, to the point where it almost reminds me of Solani ABF. When smoking this with the briars, the smoke began very harsh and acrid, only to calm down into a nutty, mellow chocolate flavor about midway through. With the cob, the nuttiness was consistent from the start and the entire smoke was pleasant. This was also smoked first thing in the morning with a cup of joe, which could have influenced things. Overall a very polarizing blend thus far. I have jarred half to age and will continue to smoke the rest of what is out in different pipes for a further assessment. I also wanted to add that I detected no Lakeland essence whatsoever. Anyone else have experience with this blend? Curious to get someone else’s take! -Scott [/QUOTE]
