Tobacco: My Finest Kind (Milan Tobacconists)
Pipe: Brigham slightly bent apple billard and
1950's Monterey straight billard
Prep:none to about 30 minutes dry time
Pouch note:To me this has a heavy cocao and rum
aroma
Room note: pleasant vanilla scent
Light: Without drying in the apple billard lighting
was a bit difficult,the moisture was a bit
high.In the Moterey with some drying it lit
easily and didn't require a re-light until
the finish
Taste: My Finest Kind started with a slight sweet flavor with a hint of vanilla
at the back of the palette,around the mid point there was a coppery=
chemicle tast that lasted for about ten minutes and then setteled into
an airy maple like very faint but enjoyable.The key is to push past the
mid point.I didn't suffer any bite nor notice a gurgle.I did have to
swab out the shank once,but that was to be expected.
