Wilke quality control?
I am admittedly newer to Wilke pipe Tobacco so I will lean on those who have more experience with their product. I don't smoke alot of aromatics these days but I'm a sucker for anything peanut butter. Several months back I had a couple of bowls of Wilke peanut butter whilst at my pipe club meeting. I loved it. My uncle who had some from that same time frame, sent me a couple of ounces. I loved it. It smelled like someone soaked it in delicious skatterbrain peanut butter whisky. So I placed an order for the cellar along with several other samples. It didn't smell anything like peanut butter. I let Wilke know, thinking that maybe my bag was mislabeled and they sent me more to make up for it. That's excellent. However, the second bag still didn't smell like the peanut butter I had on hand. Smoking it didn't even come close to the former batches. It had a vague, "maybe this could have some peanut butter in there....maybe" flavor. So now I have a bunch of "peanut butter" that I probably won't smoke. I don't want to further waste any more time and money there unless you guys tell me this is a complete fluke and perhaps there is some supplier issue.
For those of you who smoke Wilkes peanut butter, what is your long term experience with consistency?
