[QUOTE="jj1015, post: 151153, member: 207"] I have to admit I'm somewhat disappointed in my first bowl. This is the hottest smoking blend I've had in years -- literally, the bowl on my churchwarden would grow too hot to hold every three to four puffs! I let it go out numerous times and then relit after it had cooled down, but without fail I was unable to smoke for more than two or three minutes at a time due to the heat. The only blends I've had that were THIS hot were some MacBarens .... The flavor, at least what I could detect through the scorching hot air, seemed bland and typical of the ingredients: Va, perique and a bit of burley. Some high notes, some sweetness, some spiciness ... but mainly just heat. I've got a big tin to go through and plan on experimenting with different pipes, rubs, moisture levels, etc. This bowl was an intact flake in a Stanwell churchwarden with a cutty-type bowl. This flake had dried out for about 24 hours in the bowl and still retained noticeable moisture when I lit it up. Any suggestions on how to get more out of this tobacco? Maybe I've just gotten spoiled with VAs due to my recent diet of G&H and Blackwoods Flake, but I have a hard time believing that I'm experiencing what other smokers are experiencing here ....
