November 1st.
So I leave the lid off the sutliff red virginia crumble kake over night and the vinegar is reduced a lot. I finally felt it had gotten enough off the topping and decanted the two large flakes in a jar.
I left out a generous bowls amount to dry further this morning and finally filled the MM Cob.
The vinegar still floats around a bit in the blend but there is a decent tasting tobacco under it all.
I have a second tin purchased when I ordered the first (just in case it was good I would have a spare.) So it will get opened and dried then added to the other.
Mid bowl as of the time of this post and the blend is giving reasonable service. Not going to reorder but not a trashbin candidate.
I am somewhat confident a good dry and decant will bring the tobacco to the front of the profile. Quite an odd blend which had I not experienced the "real" highly matured citrus/vinegar taste component in other blends I would not notice the difference so much. I does have a reduced bite compared to some quality blends but I assume it is due to a higher sugar content of the better aged blends.
That said, I will stick to other blends for this particular type of profile.
Yesterday ended being a big jacknife plug party. Had a few tall shots of evan williams 1783 single barrel and used my spigots instead of the big Castello..
I am hoping for some good sales to crop up so I can lay in some more bulk tobacco as we now head to Thankgiving and Christmas.
Anyhoo, hope everyone is healthy and happy!
