This is a really hard one

 

[cgraunke]

Just remember, you can all choose more than one! (multiple choice poll)
I think maybe January we'll do a recap of all the ones that received many votes through the year but just didn't quite make it...

thanks once again for throwing the party, clint! also, i totally am going to still do last months, it's just eight bowls through and it keeps... confounding me is i guess the best word?

 

[Deadman's Point]

I'm with you on it. I never really got a great burn on it, and the dotted at the end surprised me since it didn't seem to smoke wet. All the reviews I read spoke to a creamy texture and flavor, but I just never found it.

 

[cgraunke]

I still need to post up my thoughts on the last TWO months, but I think I want to give each another bowl or two as a refresher. No matter. It's still great to have the review threads there, even if only one or two people chime in, right?!
That being said, everyone is always welcome to go add their thoughts to existing review threads. They'll do much better as a living growing entity.
Sean, has anyone ever discussed creating a "Reviews" subfolder in the pipe section? (or does it even pay with the pending forum upgrade?)

 

[Whtwtrman79]

I still need to post reviews of prior months, sadly I want to smoke more of them bf reviewing

 

[javajunkie]

i think there needs to be more of us actually putting it out there, but i think a pipe reviews section wouldn't suck.aybe nudge a couple few of us, even. o)

Ive been having too much fun playing with whole leaf to want to buy the PTOM.

 

[cgraunke]

Bump! One more day on this, then I have to [get to] buy more baccy!

All the ptom or all from the vote this month....... And I don't think there's anything sad about either, says you've got good taste

Sad is my lack of control.... Lol

The only one I didn't have was the Robert McConnell

I will, haven't ever had anything from that blender, and I think the one experience I've had with a "Scottish" mixture was macbaren which bit the hell outta me though I'm realizing it was more macbaren than the Scottish

IIRC his stuff is made by germaine? cannot swear to that, but i think i have heard that somewhere...

his "pure caribe" is interesting. a blend featuring cigar leaf, ostensibly cuban. not bad, worth a try, but i think i prefer my cigars intact at this point.

 

[cgraunke]

In and out of meetings all day yesterday. Sorry for the delay!
As you all can see, our winner this month was Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake.
