Cool!

Thanks for the info.

I went to a local shop today and picked up 3, 2oz samplers the Dunhill 965, a Viking blend(out of respect for Hakan), and a Captain Cooke blend. Each has a distinct Aroma.
For almost $40 they better have!

They smell great, so I tried the Captain Cooke first. A very Warm soothing smoke with a light smokey Cocoa taste Not Sweet per se but definately a Mocha undertone. It is a composite with 4 distinct tobacco's a medium lenght light yellow, Med brown shorter, one longer dark brown leaf and dark Black almost pellets. A very mild and rich tast. Almost a Desert flavor but not Sickly sweet.

Then I tried the Viking, it is a longer almost red Shag tobacco all one type. It was fuller in the power and A stronger Tobacco taste. Very nice also. It seemed more Traditional in taste and smell.

I'll try the Dunhill tomorrow.

The mechanics get better with every Bowl. I'm working out the timing and tamping techniques. Tonight was very nice between The Flavores and longer smoke times.
