Just finished a bowl of Low Country: Guendalose
Originally gave this a poor review because of the severe tongue bite, so bad that it took 3 days before I could really enjoy another pipe full. When I first tried this blend back in July I found the Virginia's and Perique to be very moist and too me not aged long enough. But, today's smoke was extremely enjoyable with NO tongue bite. This is a blend that's best when sipped and it did take a few re-lights....BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. Just the right amount of Perique was added to give this blend a nice peppery spice. It took just over 3 months of aging and drying to enjoy this blend, it would be best with a few more years of aging I'm sure. I will be ordering a few more tins to keep in my cellar for the future.
Pipe of choice: a Yorkshire Meer lined with a bent stem. I restored this pipe last year and did some rusticating on both sides of the bowl to remove some minor dings. Great smoking small bowl size, good for a 35 minute smoke.
KEEP ON PUFFING!!!
