The month is almost over. Any ideas on what might make the cut even in retrospect? Or is this a dead or sometimes buried topic?

I initially thought it was a terrific endeavor, but I realized that I had so much tobacco, that I didn't want to keep purchasing new blends.

What IS this month's blend? Without digging, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 1792 Flake. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

PS I have not explored this BOM category to any great extent. It appears interest in the BOM is a bit spotty at best😁. |

Make sure your wife knows that your chest will be extra hairy when you come back in from your first smoke of it. (I love the stuff, but it's BOLD) |

I have a little bit of 1792, maybe 2 more bowls. It's good stuff and I plan on picking up a lot more whenever it comes in stock.

I didn't know there was a blend of the month thing going on. Where is it posted?

(I love the stuff, but it's BOLD) I came back in my house damn near looking like a sasquatch.  But seriously, this is a hard blend. A blend for those who like things dark and robust. I know its not the hardest of blends but for a person like me who likes things in life light, this stuff is hard. As Marty McFly said……  Cramptholomew hooked me up with enough of this blend to give it a good try. I haven’t finished it but I will. Its just a blend that for me is to be enjoyed every so often and sipped ever so lightly. I also learned early on that its best my coffee is a little sweet with cream added too. My usual drink while smoking a pipe is black coffee but this blend required me to change it up a bit. Despite how strong it is to me, I also find a medium happy place with this blend. To me, its got a little spice to it and sweetness too. Its tin note is quite enjoyable as well. Its hard for me to describe but there’s almost a kind manly potpourri to it. The room note I find not too bad either but its not for those not into smoke smells. My wife doesn’t mind a light smell from one of my more heavier aromatics but this stuff is a strict “oh hell no”. I’m glad to have tried it and wouldn’t mind a couple ounces in my cellar but any smoking of it will take place sparingly. |

Thanks for your assessment, McWiggins. I'm still to try it. Next time I light up I must remember to crack this tin open. |
