March Meer Madness - 2015

[Bruck]

Burnin some nice tobacco in my Missouri Meer General. Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake. A real sleeper - can't believe it's so cheap, this stuff's good!

A slight downside is that I'm still breaking in the general so there's some sour corn smell added to the navy flake.

Hi Bruce,

Did you smell a chocolate top note on the Newminster 400? It is a well made tobacco. Similar to Stokkebye Luxury Navy but the cut's more like Gawith & Hoggarth.

Sour corn smell? You chillin' or distillin'?

Yes, I guess you could call it chocolate, kind of like hot cocoa. I have some of the Stokkeybe's navy flake, which is also quite nice, but between the two I'd take the newminster.

Yes, the cob is from one of those 10-packs of seconds from Missouri Meerschaum. It had a strong sour smell, almost like turpentine when it was new, but it's mostly gone now.
