While sitting at my desk tonight sort of absent-mindedly puffing and contemplating how best to avoid doing what I'm supposed to be doing...well, I turned over my computer keyboard and gave it a wee shake. I won't confess to everything that came out, but mixed in with the dreck was about a half bowl of tobacco.
I'm an utterly faithless smoker, so if just the past week is taken into account, this was likely a half bowl blend of Old Joe Krantz, Epiphany, Charing Cross, Barbary Coast, Autumn Evening, Carter Hall, London Blend 1000, Gordon Pym, Haddo's Delight, Aged Burley Flake, HH Vintage Syrian, King's Oriental, and Star of the East Flake.
Which brings me to my query. Have any of you experimented with the "Hoover Blends" or "Floor Sweepings" that some blenders offer? I've never been near intrigued enough to give it a shot, but when I see them listed, I have occasional flashes of wonder.
And for the record, my own Keyboard Mixture was at first dominated by the unmistakable scent of burning hair before the maple of Autumn Evening showed up, followed by Latakia campfire flavors from several sources. It was delightful overall and once again served to remind me that I really need to invest in one of those plastic keyboard covers.
I'd love to see reviews of other Keyboard Mixtures.
