As a Brit, I'm not able to get many fine American tobaccos very easily but recently I was able to get 4oz of McC's 2015.
Imagine my excitement, I opened the baggy, took a deep inhale through my nose and ...... NOTHING :!:
Not a thing, except perhaps a mild pleasant aroma of tobacco, WHERE'S THE SAUCE?
I've smelled the sauce in other McC blends people have been good enough to send me small samples of so I was expecting a blast from this. Tried again, still nothing. Asked the good wife, whose olifactory senses haven't been corrupted by years of pipe smoking, to have a sniff: "Doesn't smell of Ketchup" (delivered as statement not opinion).
I examined the bag contents, could the sender have made a mistake? Nope, a nice dark mixture of broken and whole flakes as expected. I filled my new MM Country Gentleman and puffed away ... a pleasant VaPer leaning on the Va rather than the perique, this could become a regular for me if I can get more, but still NO SAUCE.
Poured the bag contents into a Kilner jar and shook it up a bit then sniffed again.... maybe the merest hint of sauce but I may have been imagining it by this stage!
WHAT IS GOING ON?
