Pete, @NeverBend , just had my 3rd bowl of my version of Double Bass and what was initially really interesting and unique is now a little boring and uneventful. I don't know if it's just me, or if it's having an aeration period or what. There's also something sharp and almost sour going on, and I'm wondering if there's too much Smyrna. And there's something that I'm finding a little irritating to my sinuses, maybe the Kentucky. Or maybe one of the components that made your A blend kind of cigarette-like?

Anyway, I'm wondering if we decrease the Smyrna and remove the Kentucky altogether, and make up the balance with some Black Cavendish, maybe that'll smooth things out, reduce the sharpness, and add more depth? I'll smoke your version of the blend soon and see if I can make some more productive comparisons.

I actually went to smoke some this the other day and I couldn't believe how different it was..... until i realized I'd accidentally grabbed the jar of your C mixture instead!
