Tonight I'm smoking
@USHOG Blend #1. I have had a few bowls in various pipes but this evening I have chosen my underslung, The General.
My sample arrived as a pressed cake. The tin note is almost sugary sweet. I sliced off a flake and it easily rubbed out into fine flakes of tobacco.
The initial impression is a prominent smoky flavor followed by spice (there's that spice again. I think I'm starting to see a trend in USHogs preferences). The smoke is very lite and wispy. The smoky flavor is not the same I normally associate with Latakia or even that of dark fired Kentucky. It reminds me more of the smokiness of a bonfire. In fact, the prominent tastes to me are that of wood. This is a very earthy blend. A mans smoke that brings up memories of camping and wilderness. This is the kind of tobacco that makes you want to grow a beard like Grizzly Adams...or at least like
@Griz.
I like this blend. It's something I think would compliment a day of dirt biking in the woods and shooting guns.
Thank you again, USHog, for sharing your blends with us. I apologize it took so long to post a review of all three.
