Grand Croupier Jack Pot
(2.00)
Like aromatics? Feel some just don't have enough variety of flavor? Well in Grand Croupier's Jack Pot, we've got an aromatic with all the flavors. The secret is combining all the random sorts of excess batches from an artisanal blender: an all-sorts, if you will, albeit an all-sorts composed entirely of quality components. Price is low, quantity is plentiful, and if our past blind review of Grand Croupier's everything-of-all-sorts offering is any indication, you can expect a good smoke for the mere pittance of a minimum bet.

This is just one of those blends where a review is not normally too helpful in that there can be no consistency in what you are smoking as it is just odds and ends. I ordered an ounce of this out of curiosity after ordering four ounces of the double down.
The strange thing is that my experiences were just like reviewer Bleepy's, so I guess it can be said that this blend just may be consistently terrible. But as Bleepy pointed out, not in any way that you would expect. Bleepy puts this up to the different toppings canceling each other out that is the cause of the bland flavor profile this blend has. This could be, but I think it more likely that this is just a case of toppings flashing off. I would bet that it takes quite a while to accumulate enough of this to gain a marketable quantity. And the tobacco is likely open and exposed that whole time.
There is no point in going into the taste of this. It is bland, terrible and even smokes a little hot, or maybe that was just me trying to find some flavor. I mixed portions of it when I could and was most happy when I smoked the last of it up. I wouldn't recommend this blend to my worst enemy.
