Vauen - Zeppelin.
This is the only blend I've piped today, in hope of getting a 'grasp' on it. After many bowls I've decided it's not one for me!
Before I get to the smoke, unlit the blend comprises well rubbed ribbons, is medium brown with a few black pieces and had a decent hydration.
The smoke? Firstly, mechanically it behaves well; igniting easily, burns at a low temperature, without bite. To be fair, I can't find any 'bad' points about the tobaccos, the flavour isn't exceptional nor horrible; just a little 'flat' and boring. It's the topping that transforms it from a mediocre smoke, into a deplorable smoke; sort of like herby, musty, vanilla taste. If this makes any sense the casing gives a 'dry' flavour. This turns it into a DEFINITE one star blend!
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: tolerable.
Zeppelin? OH DEAR!
Not recommended.
