Because of the cut, Merlin?s Choice was easy to pack and light; and because it?s C&D it was an enjoyable, effortless smoke. Cool and dry right to the heel.
The first pipe I was smoking it in, Merlin?s seemed to be a predominantly Burley blend, with just the slightest hint of Perique. Change pipes ? change flavor focus. In a mid-large size Meerschaum, the Perique sings a peppery, spicy tune. The oriental aspect was much more pronounced as well. MC changed with the pipe more than any tobacco I can remember. As mentioned by the esteemed Noorrmm, above ? the burley in particular picks up more flavor as the bowl progresses.
If you try it and don?t care for it, just try it in a different pipe. Any tobacco will taste different in a different pipe? But with Merlin?s Choice the changes seem to be more pronounced than usual. You may just find a bowl material/shape combination that will make Merlin?s Choice your choice.
