Summer of 2016 Blind Review Thread

[Tobias Lutz]

Alright guys...sorry I have been absent for a couple days. I bought a new laptop and have spent my free time since Friday configuring everything before I "broke it in". I'll respond to everyone's reviews with a quote and blend description from the manufacturer.

Blend #2

The jar smell is pleasant and conservative. It smells like plums, vanilla, new shoe leather and Play-doh. It appears to be a black Cavendish and smokes like it too. It was slightly moist from the bag; I smoked the first bowl of it right out of the bag. I'm smoking the second bowl now after letting some of it sit out in a bowl overnight. I think it tastes better right out of the bag. It's not a very intense aromatic; the flavor is very subtle vanilla and something else fruity. Can't discern what the fruity flavor is; those esters all taste the same to me sometimes. It reminds me of Lane BCA, but with less vanilla flavor. It burns well enough, doesn't snap or crackle and while it did take one pipe cleaner, it is fairly dry smoking. I'm guessing this is SPS Loire Valley.
