Lately , Ive been on a CB kick . Currently I have near empty pouches of the Regular , Royal , Dark and Cherry open . I snagged a pouch of Gold a couple days ago but haven't opened it yet being I got all the others to finish in the next couple days .
Whats weird is I like them all . Its not weird to like CB stuff but I used to not like them . As much as I dig aros , there was something in them that I didnt like but now I do . I can smoke a pouch of any of them down pretty quick , though I like blending with the cherry ... its a little too much for me straight .

It started at my friends house when I loaded up some 1Q for his jar while we were hanging out a little while ago . I liked it . Ive been liking the Gold for a good while now but I figured it was the exception .. its so a no brainer easy blend .

Anyway , its a trip how you can try something , more than once , not like it for a long time and then suddenly like it

What scares teh shit out of me is maybe somethng happened and next time I pop a tin of Dans Patriot flake ... Illl hate it :o ...... lol , never !! [ I hope ]

I picked up several CB a few months ago to try (again). I still like aroma but the flavor was ok but the pg was getting to me. I ended up mixing with some leftover Virginia (ok, really a Virginia with a tiny bit of perique) and really liked it. Tamed the goop factor and the aroma and flavor was good.

Try stoving a jar of that Cherry, I enjoy it even more that way.

None of the CB products ever really enticed me to keep smoking them. I wanted to like the Cherry, but it bit me. I like MacBarens versions better. Is would say 1Q is my favorite

I started reading this thread with the expectation of learning how much you love~hate CB Grape.

I did not try the Grape . It just didnt sound right to me . People say it is/was pretty good , and given I like aromatics , said I should try it . Thing is , my love for aromatics has boundaries

I remember reading something to the effect of "CB Grape ghosted my mailbox," which was quite funny at the time.
