Thank you Geoff!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for making Kretek! Someone sent me theirs because they did not like it but I must say this is the closest thing to a Djarum Black clove I've ever had, better than the real thing! Many times I stopped vaping so I could smoke one of those and now, I have NO 'need' to smoke analogs again! Best feeling, makes my tongue numb, smells just perfect.

This recipe really did take me a while to drum up, because I was a clove smoker as well, and being the perfectionist I am, unless I could get that right, there was no way it would go up on the site. And with the reviews, the minor few who don't like it, compared to the vast numbers that DO like it.....I'd say I nailed this one. It grew on me too.

This makes me smile. I used to smoke the Bali Hai's and everyone was always bumming them off me. I couldn't handle many of the blacks, but I could chain smoke the Bali Hai's. Wonder what the closest approximation would be. Kretek + Gum?
