I got my order from Cup O Joes today for Missouri Meerschaum Timeless and Cobblestone Cafe Vanilla Latte. Both are blended by Sutliff. I am smoking a bowl of each side by side this evening. Tin note of the Timeless is a fairly pleasant coffee and vanilla. The Cobblestone was much fainter. I could detect coffee, but less vanilla and a bit of a sour odor. The Cobblestone was dryer and dated 10/22. The Timeless was dated 6 Apr 2023. The Cobblestone has a bit more of the dark cavendish in it. I found the room note to be similar between the two. Pleasantly sweet and definitely Burley is a component in the room note. I don’t detect the coffee in the room note for either. The Cobblestone seems a bit sharper tasting and smelling to me. Timeless shows Bourbon as a topping component and I think it may be part of the reason I am finding it to have a slight edge both smell and flavor-wise over the Cobblestone. I have had much better aromatic blends, but do like both of these enough to smoke them up. I would give Timeless a 2.5 out of 5. The Cobblestone gets a 2. I probably will not order either again, but will continue to try to discern any other nuances.

Had some more of the Cobblestone on the way to work this morning. Made the cab of my truck smell like vanilla and maybe caramel. I do like the burley component in the blend. It made me want to smoke some of my cube cut burley. Tomorrow’s commute, I am doing that.
