I have found that all of My Own Blend baccies lack substance. I have tried thousands of them over the years and they all have the same feature. Indeed, after the initial lighting they all taste the same. And they all leave my palette plastered with paprika.
And this is not the reason I smoke a pipe.
I conclude that it's a national taste thing. MacBaren have their bite, MOB have their burn. And a million Danes can't all be wrong.
Having said all that, Dark Plug is even more of a swizz. Its not plug. What you get is three briquettes that crumble to the touch. Not that that matters - just don't call it plug when it ain't.
The odour is promising, richness and roundness.
The initial light a delight. And then it's back to the beginning of this review.
