Bought a tin of this months ago. Opened it up, smoked a few bowls, and was underimpressed. Too moist and not very interesting. Forgot about it until this morning. Opened er up and loaded a bowl. Very nice smoke indeed!
I think most of the Pease blends benifit from some cellar time. Most of his blends seem young if you order online and check the dates most were tinned within 2 months of purchase. I agree that Embarcadero is a good smoke.
