s - but mainly raisins. Like Sunmaid raisins in the little boxes that my mom used to pack into my lunch.
Sampled in a MM Missouri Pride.
This blending tobacco can totally be enjoyed solo - and I can tell you in the future I will be doing exactly that. It’s got the subtle sweetness of a sweet tea bought in Maryland (sorry Maryland but it’s called SWEET tea for a reason, not a suggestion). There’s also an acidic tang that’s like cherry but not a cheery flavor.
Do not come here looking for the good vinegary ketchupy red Virginia notes - I’m guessing the steaming of the cavendish process negates them - but there is a slight tang none the less and honestly it makes this more than just a blending component.
It’s tasty. It’s also kinda monotone 95% of the time BUT it’s a good monotone. I could totally see this sold in big 8oz Tubs along codger blends - it’s bone stock simple but I have no doubt it’s also 100% reliable/predictable.
It makes a nice , full smoke. I think it has to be the secret component in many blends - and I’m really curious what home blends folks may have with this as a central component. I personally use it in my English blend “HP01 Wels Catfish”.
I could smoke this solo, and often. Especially when fishing or camping. I also think it may be useful to “spruce up” a blend time to time that’s “lacking something”.
It weird to cellar a blending blend as a smoking blend - but, I think I want some of this on hand.
My rating : 4
Yay! This makes 50 blends of the 101 C&D Bulk blends I am reviewing for the project. Hard to believe that we’ve gotten here in just about a month.
I have the remaining 51 samples already on hand - and will resume in a few days. But for now I’m taking a break to enjoy my briars and some old friends before carrying on.
(And I’m waiting for another case of mini jars - I forgot to order them in time to keep going but Amazon says they’ll be here in a couple days.)...Read More

Good Blender

s best as a component or condiment. I use it regularly in a nuanced English blend I've developed, and it serves admirably. I think it wouldn't be the same without it....Read More
