Ever have a blend you expected to like and just can't? I ordered an oz of each C&D bayou morning and Haunted bookshop about a year ago and keep going back to it but just can't like it.
Anyone else find a blend or 2 like that?

Mac Baren HH Acadian Perique. I should love this, but I don't. Been working on this tin for 2 years and don't think I've ever finished a bowl. It's got a bitter aftertaste and bites like a weasel.
SPC Mississippi River: It's highly rated but just doesn't appeal to me.
Some MacBaren blends tend to give me a bite too.Quote:

Everyone is different, since a ton of folks love McClelland and don't like C&D.
I've had plenty I didn't like, but I can't think of any that I expected or wanted to like but didn't.

I have them both jarred up, hoping my thoughts change with age.
This is definitely me. I have loved every McClelland Virginia I've tried. I've been underwhelmed by nearly every C&D and GL Pease blend I've tried.Quote:

I have had a few blends that I started out not liking but enjoyed later like Irish Flake.
I have been considering trying ABF, too; but have been putting it off because I expect the same result. I'll get around to it one day. Same with the C&D Burley Flake.Quote:
