Ok, so the packages arrived this afternoon so I had plenty of sampling to do. Started out with the new Boswell Shotshell. Smoked amazing of course. It was loaded up with a new favorite, Christmas Cheer 2008. An absolutely mind blowing tobacco. Though it is a little wet, so next time I will let it set out for a little while.
Next was a nice big bowl of Berry Cobler in my Boswell classic sitter. This one is more than I expected it to be. I wasn't expecting much, but got a lot more than I expected. I was shocked when it tasted like I was actually eating berry cobbler, but it did. And my roommate said it even smelled like one baking.
To finish off the night I am currently smoking a bowl of Frog Morton On The Town. A lot lighter english that what I am used to. I have only smoked Stokkebye luxury Birds Eye, and Luxury Navy Flake. So it is much more mellow than the others. Though understated it is still complex. Just enough Latakia to add a wonderful layer of flavor to it. I will definately be smoking a LOT more of this, but with a little twist tomorrow. Some places that I read said to really enjoy this tobacco you need to pull out a good J.R.R. Tolkien novel due to the origin of the name for this tobacco. So I believe that I am going to do just that tomorrow.
Tomorrow I will return with the results of my first time smoking Penzance, Frog Morton Classic, Escudo Navy Deluxe, and Boswell's Best. So until then.
