So, i am growing tired of cpt black and lane 1q (i know...basically the same thing) and was wanting to step up my game on a new type of tobacco. Enter: Tobacco Exchange on N MAY AVE in OKC. I go into the shop and explain to them that im hunting something different..something better IMO than the above mentioned. I get recommended 2 tobaccos so i bought an ounce of each to try. They are Wild Northwest (described as a light aromatic w/ some maple flavorings...sweet tasting...one gent raved on it) and the other is called Circe's Bed. This one was described as a light english blend...which is something that interested me. Gave the man his money and went out to the truck and loaded up a pinch (didnt have a long time until lunch was over) of the Circe's Bed. DAMN GOOD! WOW. this makes those other two (Cpt Black and 1-Q taste bad). This is a houseblend supposedly only available there... but if you are on a quest to go from the aromatics to the English blends, this one is pretty decent imo. HELLUVA lot cheaper than Ca\pt Black at the local drug mart too...by alot!
I was reading a review (maybe it was here) for new pipe smokers and it said "the first smokes are generally like how one first takes his coffee w/ cream and sugar...then as the pallet devolps a better understanding of what coffee is about they go straight black..." I am now at my only creamer stage w/ my coffee and now w/ my pipe tobacco.
If you are around May and 63rd and are a pipe smoker, stop in and say Hi to the gentlemen and grab some of this stuff. Ill let u know how the other tastes too.... probably after i smoke this ounce of Circe's Bed!
