[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 557130, member: 4458"] Wilke Subrug's Golden Scepter in a paneled Design Berlin. Well, Jim Inks suggest a wide bowl and somehow I haven't remembered to try this in my widest bowl Charatan 489 pot. But in three different pipes this just doesn't have the harmony of some of the other blends. It's like a trial version of Crystal Palace that didn't turn out as good. I get fleeting moments of an earthy bitterness that remind me of a Burley that hasn't had the pH adjusted. I mean, it's not bad, but I'd have to give this one a B- compared to most other Wilke blends that hit it out of the park for me. Still, one mishit out of ten blends I've tried - what a batting average! BTW, my 2 oz bulk looks quite a bit darker than the picture on the website. I wonder if in mixing together a batch in hurry to meet demand of Black Friday Sale, maybe my batch has more dark Burley in it? [/QUOTE]
