    Krazy-good krumble kake

    Posted by Peacepipe on Jul 23rd 2018

    From the consistently fine blenders at C&D, this is beauty. I’ve never been a big fan (or detractor) of pressed krumble kake, but in this blend it’s a nice touch. It rubs out soft and easy, not overly damp, and immediately ready to load easily into the bowl. No sticky gooey sugary nonsense to ruin a beautiful briar with; this is a pair of fine Virginias, naturally and sensibly flavored with rum. I haven’t figured out a way to check room note, but as a smoking experience this one smokes slightly sweet, can stay lit all the way down on one light if you like, and the flavor evolves beautifully as you go. My first try of this blend; thanks for your great service Cup O’ Joes, and for sending this one over so quickly.

    Caveat emptor

    This ain't a smoke for the weak-kneed or the beginner. A good crumble type. Whilst it has a lot of decent flavour and burns well and fairly cool, it is a reasonably strong product for the uninitiated. No bite to speak of. If you like well crafted product this will suit you well. Recommended for when you are feeling deep and meaningful.
