    I say it every year. But I repeat it because I know not everyone reads old threads...

    DO NOT be permanently turned off to this blend if you don't like fresh.

    I tried it fresh the first time I ever smoked LJP's Thanksgiving Blend. I almost got rid of it. I thought it was mediocre. But, it gets much better after a year or two of jar time.

    Over the years I have tried it fresh a couple of more times and my opinion has not changed. I don't like it much fresh, but really enjoy it with a little age.

    5 years is the oldest I've ever had. So I can't speak to really aged versions. But with 1-5 yrs of age on it, it's delicious.

    Ok, I'm game. I have to agree with the author, ROTT it isn't great. I'll get it into some jars and we'll see what happens.

    McClelland Blackwoods Flake in the Abb. Finishing off the last bowl that was given to my by @Rdp77 who, by the way, is solely responsible for me hunting down a tin of this. Great stuff! Thanks again, Rusty!!

    Glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of my favorites.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.
