WOW!!!

Spoiler: I popped this tin with almost a year of age (341 days). The tin note has an awesome fermented funk like an aged wine with hints of prunes and raisins. The moisture content of the broken flake is just right for me (not dry but just a touch moist), packs and lights easily. Initial taste of bright citrus that mellows throughout the smoke leading to mulling spices. Creamy mouthfeel with absolutely no tongue bite and an average number of relights. This is my favorite blend of The Old Ones series....Read More

I’m say up front I’m not into aromatics. This is a good blend but has too much of an odd taste and room note. An odd mix of gym socks and some sort of bitter fruit. Ok to get through a tin but no more for me thanks.
Absolutely Spectacular

I rarely give a blend 5 stars, but this one deserves it. C&D has knocked it out of the park with this blend. Full, rich, bold, spicy, exotic with hints of incense and cigar leaf. You need to let it dry a bit, but once it dries, it is just a pleasure to smoke. The retrohale is smooth, but enough perique to awaken your senses. There is a very subtle background floral note to the kasturi leaf, but in a very complimentary way to the creamy boldness of the virginias. The room note is a winner. Many people have commented that it smells like Christmas with the smell of mulling and baking spices. But again, do not be fooled - this is not an aromatic in any way. Mad Fiddler Flake is enticing, exotic, and mysterious, and I'm not being poetic. I will take you many tins of enjoyment to ponder its subtleties. The nicotine level is above medium, so beware. Might want to try this on a full stomach the first few times. Jeremy Reeves is a genius. If you like bold but flavorful blends, this is a must try. Outstanding blend....Read More

Tin note is a bit weird, but the smoke is great. Reminds me of a rainy night in the forest in late autumn. Very pleasant and has a nice room note.
Take a chance!

Clean crisp taste of ripen mellow Virginia with some exotic twist. No bitterness, no bite. Pleasure to smoke. I open to try new blends, and tried over a hundred, this one is easily in the top ten.
Aptly named

I just wanted a quick smoke before the girlfriend gets home. I grab my trusty Ropp J10. Tried and true, its cake walls maintained to perfection. I crack the tin and was greeted with a dominant scent of fruit hiding the scent of a dark, moist mulch. I rub out about what I normally would to have a pack burn for about fifteen, maybe twenty minutes. I char the top and then get it lit. Those first few puffs were harsh and bitter, and it did not want to stay lit.. I paced about the yard, trying to coax an ember when all of a sudden it took! And it just wouldn't stop! Despite my best efforts, smoke came pouring from the bowl and the mouthpiece, no matter what I did to slow the pace the smoke kept billowing! Despite the intesity of the burn, it remained cool, and did not bite my tongue. At least now the bitterness was gone, rich smokey flavors came forward, the taste and smell making me think of a nice cigar, the smell of fruit had vanished from my mind. The flavor shifted over the next 15 minutes, getting deeper, richer.. all the while I struggled to keep pace with the smoke. I thought for sure the journey must be near its end, tapping the pipe on my palm to dislodge some ash and that's when I saw my pack had barely burned. I set back in, puffing wildly, only to find that the flavor had smoothed, and the taste and smell of fruit came to the foreground, and stayed with my for about another ten minutes on, the smoke still not slowing, the amount burned never seeming to amount to much.. the flavor shifted back to what it had been before, and then as I finally reached the bottom it has the same bitter note with which the journey had begun, but instead of being unpleasant, it complimented the lingering flavors. All in all, this tiny pack burned for nearly an hour. At first I thought the nicotine was a bit low, but since finishing the pipe it has been creeping up on me over the course of the past twenty minutes and hasn't stopped. I also haven't been able to stop drooling since about five minutes into the pack. Not too excessive after finishing the pack, but I don't plan on enjoying this blend indoors....Read More

I'm not usually one for much perique, but exceptions exist for every rule.
Cigar blend addition

The first cigar blend I've tried in years. Not bad. It has a darkfruit note that goes well with the cigar leaf, smokes dry / woody. Occasional rough edge with the Perique. Giving it some time in the Cellar.
