Seattle Pipe Club - Vashon Island.
Because I've been busy with Christmas over the past week although I've smoked different blends I haven't had time to post a review. I like to sit and take my time to think about the dialect!
Even though the coarse mixture includes black Cavendish it looks like it's a fair split; about 50/50 black to brown. I see some 'leafy' pieces but nothing too coarse. It smells sweet with a delicate touch of custard. The moisture was good to go straight away.
The smoke has a definite aromatic trait, but isn't too heavy. The caramel comes over more to begin with. For the first quarter the smoke's sweeter. But after this the vanilla joins in, without being too sticky or cloying. The tobaccos are both sweet yet rugged. The black Cavendish brings the saccharinity, yet the Burley causes a roughhewn, coarser, flavour. The Virginia is easily outweighed by these two. It burns steady but can become too warm when I force it.
Nicotine: just above mild. Room-note: nice.
Vashon Island? A good smoke, but the temperature removes a point. Three stars:
Recommended.
