ThePipeRoom.com Gändëlf Dark Aromatic

Why, why, why? I am not a smoker of aromatics, but something about the description of ThePipeRoom.com's Gandalf (as spelled on the bag) Dark Aromatic had me intrigued so--even against my better judgement--I ventured forth. It looked quite impressive in the clear bag--bold and dark! A snow-covered pile of garbage looks beautiful from a distance too, though. Upon further inspection of the tobacco, I found small dark and sticky chunks of weed. It did not take but a few bowls of smoking this before I started to become ill. I do a fair amount of walking and usually nature appreciates my choice of weed. How ironic that this 'Middle Earth' blend would have caused such adverse winds. This is far from being '[t]he finest weed in the Southfarthing' let me tell you. To be fair, this IS one of the better aromatics that I have had. I can tolerate this to an extent and it has decent flavour (setting aside the vanilla that I noted). It is fuller than most aromatics, burned better than most (although, the pipe that I smoked it in is now in need of a good disinfectant), left a decent ash, and the odour in the bag was somewhat inviting. I will not buy this again, but I may smoke a bit more of it (in small doses) before putting the rest under some snow.
