Current impressions (based on maybe 2-3 bowls per blend with one exception)
>Shandygaff
Really odd one. Almost salty with some kind of topping that I can't place. I don't hate it but I probably did well to only buy an ounce. For the price it's worth a shot. Also, I didn't think weigh it out but it looks like SmokingPipes gave me twice as much of this as the other supposedly 1oz bags. Maybe they're trying to get rid of it
>Crooner
Got this just because the deertongue was weird and interesting. I actually really like it and could see this being a nice occasional smoke. The deertongue is quite mild and changes note through the bowl (vanilla, anise, mint). A pleasant surprise.
>Snug Harbor
Pleasant, mild English/aro. To me the casing was very subtle. Half the time I didn't taste it at all. Perhaps my brain associates "snug" with "comfy". A good lazy day smoke, or while doing something else. Not super complex but pleasant.
>Espresso
I rarely go for straight aros, so I didn't expect much. I got it for just under $3/oz on sale and I feel that's about what it's worth. It was okay. Lightly coffee-flavored hot air like a lot of aromatics. I didn't hate it.
>Epiphany
Came out of the gate kind of harsh but mellowed soon after. Usually it's burleys that have that sort of effect for me but not sure. Would've liked a bit more latakia in the mix. Otherwise pretty well balanced, but nothing to write home about.
>Billy Budd
I already really like this but I'll review anyway. Full-flavored but without much of the harshness I usually get from burleys. Actually the burleys are somewhat in the background considering how it's advertised. The cigar leaf is great but sparing, I usually wish there wer more. I might incorporate some of my cigar cut ends to see if it works. Nic gave me feel a little bit of something.
Haven't mentioned a nic hit in most of these because there wasn't much to speak of. Now to plan my next buy.
Always open to suggestions, the weirder the better tbqh.
