Re: What Pipe Tobacco Did You Smoke Today?
trying out my latest (unflavored) cavendish.
All home grown in this years crop (2015)
1 part Va Gold ,1/2 part Madole,3 parts Pa Red and 1/2 part Criollo 98 ...color cured ,kilned 30 days, rested 1 month ,steamed 8 hours. pressed 4 days. cavendish cut and rubbed out . dried (could use a little more drying time. ) palm swirl method to pack pipe (cheap straight stem billiard)
Smooth taste. I'm getting a light coffee and cocoa taste off it but its very light and pleasant. No bite whatsoever.
now moving to the peaches and cream flavored cavendish(same exact blend as above but with a top flavoring added)- almost no change in taste . Room note only for a minute. I guess I need to go back and add way more flavoring than I thought.
