PoM (pipe tobacco of the month) for for February Poll

[Grrrrr609]

Post ur vote for the blend you most want to try and review. Reviews dont have to be pretty (I suck at reviews myself). Polling will be open for one week. Once the winner has been chosen then its up to each person to buy, trade, bomb, get bombed, swindle, bride etc., to get a sample of the chosen tobacco to try and post a review on this thread. Try to give the blend 3 bowls before posting a review. Javajunkie suggested this and I concur.

Note: the list of tobaccos will consist of one Aro, one Virginia, one English, and one Oriental. With substitutions and specials occasionally. Also I will not post a blend that is a HTF such as Pelican or Penzance.

Wait, we just get one right, or just vote for one?

How about GL Pease Odyssey. I was going to buy some, but on my last order to get more samples, I opted for less English blends because that was almost all I was going to order. I decided to branch out to other stuff.

Good choice, remind me and I will put that on the March poll.

I wrote that before I knew there were choices already. Haha, on my phone doing "work" trying to carbonate two tanks of beer.

Vote for one on the poll. The blends came from the other thread of what everyone suggested.

I am gonna go with Shortcut to Mushrooms.

I think thats gonna be my choice also

Make that three votes for shrooms, sounds highly interesting.

So since I am on my phone, is this an actual poll or just post your vote?

Hey hosh, how much do you plan on buying if you don't mind me asking? That's my choice and maybe we can split the cost or work something out?

It's a real poll but tapatalk doesn't have them implemented I believe. You need to see the forum in desktop mode

I was only gonna buy a couple ounces. It looks like shipping is free from the site when you buy a couple ounces so to be fair I would say it would be better to get it from the site.

Edit- I may have spoke to soon....

Ah okay, never mind then.

If a baccy is chosen that's available in bulk (vs. tin) it may be beneficial to do a group buy as the cost usually drops dramatically when you start getting past half-pound or pound volumes. As long as the up-front savings is greater than the postage from person to person it may be worth looking in to...

Home and voted. I look forward to trying whatever wins. I was confused for a second and thought it actually contained mushrooms or mushroom powder in the blend lol. I've pulverized dried mushrooms before to put into burger meat with a port reduction sauce and I forget what cheese. Anyhow..... smoke on.

Shitake?

 

[smokinghole]

Definitely shiitake, tastes like shiitake.

Great thread idea. I'm still getting into pipe tobaccos and am looking forward to learning more about them. I dont usually marry my tobacco but if you say so... :togetherl

So if I understand this we vote by sending a tin of the choice to grrrr? Right, and if we have a suggestion for next month we send a tin to grrrr.
