USHOG's Blend #2
Mild, fruity, sweetness. A light creaminess to the tobacco and a hint of nuttiness if you search for it.
The body is growing towards medium getting down to 3/4's pack and the profile richens. The spice is sizzling at moments, probably most prevalent when I relighting.
The sweetness fades out the bottom and the nuttiness steps up accompanied by wood. The strength had a slight uptick on the finish of the pack. I picked up a perfume essence, along with a roasted meat seasoning on the last few puffs (I know a weird combo right lol but they were not present with one another)
I still need to learn how to pack and smoke a pipe. I had to relight the pack every time I wanted to smoke it. It wouldn't stay lit no matter what I did. I'm still learning if this is due to the pack or the moisture content of the tobacco... Oh well, It's a process right?
This blend is a quarter of the strength of Blend #1 and the body follows suit. It was enjoyable and I believe others will find it more so than I which is no wonder due to the fact that I enjoy a stronger blend with lots of body. In either case, I will still enjoy the rest of this blend and probably save it for a morning pipe. This blend still stands tall with all of the other tobaccos I've tried and you can be proud of this baby as well Joe. Nicely done, it shows that you have a good grasp at balancing your blends and put together some top notch baccy!
Again, the only thing I find different about this blend from a store bought is its texture.. Reminded me of flaked mulch lol but hey, to me the blend and quality of tobacco is 90% of it. Great job brother.
