Blending Experiment

[Lostmason]

I smoked a short bowl of sample "B" and noticed what I can only describe as a smoked fig taste.It was an underlying taste, not predominate or
overpowering.Still picked up some of the spice or pepper feel but it was very mild.

The main reasons for my feelings of inferiority are as stated I don't have the background that Jim does, and get frustrated
by not being able to pick out all the nuances of the blend. I'm not that articulate at describing what I can taste and quite
often just give up and enjoy the smoke without trying to seperate the flavors. I've enjoyed several different mixtures lately
and can honestly say that I like the aro's and burley blends the best, on those I can pick up on the cream and nut flavors.
That was what was so intense with the Einstien mixture you sent,a distinct creaminess and mellow vanilla that came thru.
Don't misunderstand my comments as being dispariging, just the level of my gratitude that you would place value on what
feedback I can provide.I feel extremely lucky to have come into contact with you,Jim,Tab,Tobias,and Bruck, The wealth of
knowledge that you all have shared here has given me a renewed love for my pipes and a hobby that my wife and I both
enjoy. Right now I have a small science experiment going and if it works out I'll share it with you for comments and advice.
If it turns sour, I will hide it under a rock and never talk about it,,,
