It's probably the toughest tobacco to describe that I've ever smoked- how's that for a review? Snork reveals a little pepper and a bit of coffee with a hint of anise- and I mean a hint. I've snorked almost every puff to get what's going on. It definetly benefits from extensive drying. Have enough for one more bowl and then I will revisit the Curly. Sip slowly on this one- it's got BIG teeth.
PS- on a sidenote- the coffee I detect on the retro as well as the pepper is very Dunhill Elizabethanesque
Ha ha. I'm having the same difficulty in describing it. It has a lot more going on than most of the other blends I've had, and while the components are familiar it just tastes different. Definitely dry the curley out for at least an hour. If you can give it more I would; I try to give it about 2-3 if I can wait. Had issues keeping it lit without some good dry time.

Oh, and yes, it bites hard if you milk it. I also noticed drinking soda or other carbonated beverages exacerbates the bite significantly. Flat water lol.

Spring strong sweet tall green grass grow...

My Solomon Pipes stubby apple nose-warmer has been calling my name, so I pulled it out last week for another run of Seattle Pipe Club's Mississippi River. Thanks again to Joe @solomon_pipes and Mike @tobaccopipecollectors for the sweet little smoker!
"Sweet smokes" indeed!

Beautiful looking pipe for sure.
thanks! spent sunday doing a couple few stems, and cleaning a couple estate meers (after 2.5 hours of JV13 time, but it's october, whadayagunnado?). dude cost me unde $20 shipped, and i put an hour of effort into it to make it clean and happy. nasty rag under it is coated with beeswax, to buff during smokes. we'll see how she fares, but the first bowl was fairly clean and bright, so good indicator. o)

Awesome. I am sure it will be a great smoker/looker when you have the color you want. Good home for the Meer to someone that will enjoy it and enjoy the moments it will bring. Great buy sounds like.
