Killer freak show blends

[HSigurdsson]

Those are tyical Danish styled aromatics . They dont do well with me for the most part . The Danes and Germans are obsessed with using virginia in their aros .. like all or near all virginia , which is " bright " tasting and then they add bright flavoring . Theres just little bottom end or low note flavors and it is kinda feeakish . When the Danes do American style , they do pretty good . Think like Stokkebye bulk aros . Theyre American styled but more their flavorings and thats not so bad , as an examlple .

I love Peter heinrich Blands but only their natural blends . Their aros are so bright and hot that I just cant do them and they are freak shows to me

I gotta give them credit though . Each of the Danish makers have an all black cavendish derived from Virginia only and those are really nice . MB black Ambrosia is exceptional and its available in pound bags as well as a 100 gram tin .

@Piping Abe mentioned popping a tin this weekend . I may have to dig in my tin stash and pop a MB black Ambrosia

After all these years of piping and smoking hundreds of blends from sooo many makers, I always go back to MacB Virginia #1 as my all time favorite.
Also Symphony and Golden Extra, but Va#1 is my go to.
It gets bad reviews due to the tongue bite, but ive never really had an issue with it.
As far as the Danish aros, the three I just mentioned are about as far as I go. I would consider them more of a "crossover" than a true aromatic.
The fruity or flowery stuff isnt my cup of tea.
The Signature from WO Larsen and the Cube from MacB were the only of MANY true aros I liked ok. I would not buy them again, but they didn't taste like apple pie, cherries or flowers.

Black Ambrosia is seriously not a gooper and done like no other blend Im aware of . Hell , @Piping Abe was impressed with it . Ill gladly shoot you a sample to try . Its one Id like to see others smoke so Im not the only one here talking about it . It essentially the MB Cavendish thats in many of there blends [ including Symphony , I believe ] , which is usually in smaller quantity . But this is mostly all the mb cavendish with a little bit of lighter and a mild fruit essence . The flavoring isnt alot . Its much less than cube and less than Larsen

PM me your addy so I can shoot you some . I have a feeling youd like it

An offer maybe to good to turn down.
Never tried it, thanks for the offer.

For me , the old Middletons Hickory borders kinda near freak show . I had a bowl the other day and it was not a freak show but I can sense its wanting to be . Im not sure what the flavoring is in it but if it were doubled , it would surely freak and tweak
