SPS Moulin Rouge in my DG Grand Duke
It's tasty, but I've just been on a kick lately where I'm smoking through tins and jars until they are gone for the sake of whittling down the selection in my desk. I have way too much open and want to get to the point where I'm only pulling 2-3 blends from my cellar at a time. It's going to take me the remainder of 2016 to smoke through what I have out.
really enjoying this Germain's Plum Cake, via @Tobias Lutz , in a Brewster
Pride of Manassas batch 34 in an MM cob. I've kind of lost track of which cob is which, but I think it's a diplomat. No pics, bcs I think it's better to maintain the mystery. Anyway the blend is Bright VA, cavendish, perique, latakia, and yenidje. Very smooth. Dig the yenidje - need to invest in another pound of it.
A buddy at work said it was too strong, both in flavor and vitamin N. I told him to grow a pair. JK, I told him to let it dry out some and try again.
Completely understand! I know I have just a small fraction of what you do, but of the tins I have, I try to only have a handful open at a given time and try to smoke to completion before openining another. Much simpler to have a few to select from rather than the entire cellar.
