I've sampled several more of the INW tobaccos, and interestingly the French Pipe stands out to me as, well, potentially amazing. Mixed 2 days ago, 3.5% I believe. It received several hours of UC and I just sampled today. Never had a "French Pipe" flavor, but IMO the flavoring smells pretty horrible...so I thought it would either be something I dislike or may change with time. But to my surprise, the vapor smells and tastes really good. Can't pinpoint it exactly but it definitely has chocolatey undertones. I could see this mixing well or being fantastic on its own. Anybody tried INW French Pipe?
Of the "for pipes" it seems like the Black is fantastic...I dripped a bit of partially steeped INW Honey in with it and I foresee this being a great tobacco for a honey backnote. The Captain for Pipe, not so sure about yet...will let it steep. The Gold Ducat is a trip - I think I will like it but I want it to steep more before sampling it again. An interesting flavor for sure.
Vanilla for Pipe is steeping nicely, that's one of the best vanilla flavors I've ever tasted. Excited for my Garuda and TA VA to get here Tues along with various other flavors
