Coming back around to some of Charles' samples finally! Decided to pull out the 3 Oaks Syrian. What a wonderful aroma in the bag. It actually does not smell like normal McKletchup blends! It's a wonderful campfire aroma with nice tangy pungency and leathers. This got me all excited! Fire...

It has been a long time since i have been so smitten by a tobacco blend. based on reviews i did my usual... buy 1 to smoke now, 2 to put in the cellar. This stuff is so good, 10 more will be going into the cellar when i get my tax rebate. I felt through the years i had finally settled in on a...
