Thought I should start this thread for a more proper place for reviews. My initial tin opening and thoughts are in the other thread.
Maltese Falcon
I have had several bowls over the past two days. Amazing blend. Great stuff from the get-go. Tonight I have had two bowls in my Naked Coral Tinsky Rad-Hawk. They smoked to the bottom and just ash with one small piece as an exception. No evidence of moisture in the bowl at all.
Blend seems to start out as a latakia only taste and soon morphs into a wonderful spicy and sweet Virginia/oriental blend. Latakia fades from the lite and is creamy smooth for the rest of the bowl. The spice is never overwhelming and I have trouble putting the pipe down. The blend never gets hot for me. No tongue bite. Nice and clean on the palate. I am ready to light another bowl up now. Not from lack of satisfaction, but from a desire to continue the experience.
