Prep: Frank method
Notes:
This was an interesting smoke. I wasn’t sure what to expect with a name like “Meat Candy!” I was wandering through the bulk offerings at P&C and the name jumped out at me, so I tossed an ounce in the cart.
I expected to hate this blend, but I was pleasantly surprised. It definitely had a sweetness to it, which was evident right from the start. It was not a cloying sweet; more smooth and subdued.
Along with the sweetness, there was a certain saltiness or savory taste. Thankfully, not actual bacon flavor. I had to check tobaccoreviews.com to see what exactly it was. I assume it was the hickory-smoked burley. I’m not a big latakia fan, but the smokey note from the hickory-smoked burley was very nice. I’ll have to look for this in other blends.
I quite enjoyed this blend, and will probably order some more to have on hand.
