I've been sampling the Congress daily, in my mini-dripper, since I mixed it on 4/6. I was going to give it a week, but figured I'd just try a few drops every evening. In the first week I have to admit I wasn't impressed. There was a note in it that I couldn't put my finger on, but it just wasn't very appealing to me. I was almost ready to ditch it, but figured I'd just keep checking and see if it improved.
By the 2 week mark, I noticed a real change. That off note I noticed in the first week or so, had faded away and had changed into a pretty darn nice tobacco flavor. I'm enjoying it now. It has potential. I'll probably start thinking of other flavors to mix it with and see where this experiment goes. I'm glad I gave it a little extra time. If I had been in a bottle washing mood, I'd have probably given it the heave-ho at the end of the first week.
I'd be curious if you still had some that had had a chance to steep, and if so, has it improved?
