Aromatic sampler pass.

Yakster · November 24

What do you say @ShawnOL, we could add @Ross_G89 to the pass now, looks like there's enough left of each sample for another person.

ShawnOL · November 24

I don't see why not.

Yall gotta let me know next time yall do this. I would love to be added to the list, it would give me an opportunity to try some blends.

If there’s some left over I don’t mind passing it on to you at the end if everyone else is good with it.

Ross_G89 · November 24

Aw really?! Thanks guys! I really appreciate it

OmgFrigginMike · November 24

Actually @Yakster why don't you send it to him when your done and then if there's any left it can come my way. I just got bombed with a sh!tload of samplers that I will be working my way through for the next few years anyways so no harm done if it runs out and doesn't make it to me.

Yakster · November 25

Ok, I'll plan to send to @Ross_G89 when I'm done and then it'll go to @OmgFrigginMike.

I fired up Boswell's Sweet and Mild in another cob today, so far it's living up to its name, sweet and mild and perfectly pleasant. I could see myself smoking this again.

Yakster · November 25

Boswell's Piper's Pleasure, pretty close to Sweet and Mild but with vanilla instead of cherry notes to go with the coffee and chocolate flavors. Pretty good, perfectly pleasant, but I'm not sure if there's enough interesting flavors or strength to smoke this again.

Yakster · November 28

Boswell's Blend 35, loose cut burley, golden cavendish, and a touch of fire-cured cavendish with a hint of [vanilla] sweetness. It's aight. Pretty mild.

Yakster · November 28

Boswell's No Bite Delite in my snowman cob after having a small cappuccino blend of Brazil and washed Ethiopia coffees I roasted last Saturday. My milk frothing skills need practice. Reminds me of chocolate a bit, no hot cocoa, pretty light, not bad but not something I'd chase. Would work well in a blend.

Yakster · December 2

I've been experiencing holiday delays getting through the sampler, but I'm chugging along. Once I'm done I'll send to Ross.

This morning I'm smoking C&D Dark Burley from the pass, not an aromatic but a very enjoyable blend for me, dark and strong, in my 2022 memorial PSD DGE (Doug Erwin) pipe.

Yakster · December 3

Enjoying some C&D [New Orleans] King Cake in my MM Dwarf Cobbit. The bag note is more savory than sweet, the flavor gives some spice, some hazelnut, but not much contribution that I can tell yet from the perique. The blend composition is Black Cavendish, Oriental/Turkish, Perique, Virginia with flavorings of Nuts / Beans, Plum, Rum. I find this enjoyable, I would smoke again. I'm enjoying this bowl, tempted to pick some up on the 20% off C&D sale at SP.

That one sounds delicious.

Ross_G89 · December 7

Awesome! Thank you. I’m excited

Ross_G89 · December 12

Got the package today with a bag of surprises in there! Thank you so much @Yakster. Too generous! I can’t say thank you enough. I’m very excited to dive in.

Yakster · December 12

Glad it made it there safe, not all of the bodyguards are from me.

Ross_G89 · December 13

Thank you to everyone who contributed. It was a very nice surprise.

Yakster · December 13

I liked the King Cake sample that I smoked well enough that I picked up some more. This tin, freshly opened (ROTT adjacent) has more of a sweet smell, almost like a fruitcake smell, than the sample I tried and when smoked does give sweeter flavors but it's still a quite enjoyable smoke. I'm smoking it in my Andrey Kharitonov tomato since this pipe reminds me the most of Mardi Gras of all the pipes in my collection. TYVM for the sample pass, @Hawks.

Hawks · December 13

You're welcome, @Yakster, but I take no credit. This was @ShawnOL 's idea. Really cool you found something from the experience to carry on with.

ShawnOL · December 13

I seem to remember things just a little bit differently.

Yakster · December 13

Well, thank you both then.

ShawnOL · December 13

It just occurred to me that there was no king cake sample in the pass at the beginning. I believe @rsherman24 added that.

rsherman24 · December 13

Possibly. I am sure this pass will grow as it ages. Tough to keep track

ShawnOL · December 13

The next pass may start in January. We'll see. Anybody interested?

I would be interested, Joel. Maybe conduct a poll to see which one would be best received.

Cheapsmoke · December 14

Poll open. All interested chime in..

I will get two different 4 tobacco samplers to total 8 different samples.
Dont think just 4 samples is worthwhile.

My votes are for either of the burley offerings and the English sample.

I’m interested.

I vote cavndish and non aero burley

What’s cavendish?

@Cheapsmoke I’d be more than happy to order one of the samplers and ship it to you you to start it off since I can’t ship here.

Aromatic sampler pass.
