Update for this. I'm now getting all the notes accurately.
The ginger is the strongest note which gives if a nice warm feel, followed by the chocolaty Black Cabce that provides a creamy taste and finally on the back end the orange comes out as a zest rather than a full orange
It'll be a bit before I can get a proper review done for St. Nicholas so I'll just give some short notes for now.
To me it is a mild aromatic, tin note didn't seem strong but the Orange liqueur does stand out. It reminded me of Halls orange cough drops (in a good way)

I wonder if Rivertown Tobacco works changed how they make Custard Conspiracy? The most recent reviews are calling it light but when I tried it, it was the strongest aromatic I've had. Full flavor and so strong as a component even just a pinch can be too much

The best way to find out your digital scale isn't working correctly is by making 3 home blends and ending up with 3 vastly different weighted amounts when they all should have been the same weight.

If found a new way to describe Figgy Pudding from Country Squire (2025).
The mouth feel is like when you bite into a extremely fresh and too hot chocolate brownie. Extremely soft and melty

Sad to see that EA Carey raised all their tobacco prices by $3 but they imported a lot of it from Europe and the EU just passed legislation that quadruples the amount of fees and taxes for anything that ships, even between other EU members not just on non-EU nations.

Father Dempsey by Kramer's is an interesting blend. Now that my palate has improved I'm learning that the Virginia in it is more on the back of the of the blend.
It's Oriental forward followed by the Latakia and then on the latter half you get a subtle sweetness from the Virginia

When I get my review for Stormy West out it's going to sound like I'm reviewing a perfume or candy

First time smoking Captain Black in at least a year. It's not hard to see why it stayed around while other blends faded out.
How do employed people with PAD manage to not impulse by so many of these?

I remembered that Burley is good for removing ghosting and that my Best of the Rest is mostly Burley so I figured I'd give this a few goes before I try giving it the alcohol or whiskey treatment

I've learned my lesson and will now only be smoking this in my Ghosting Approved Grabow pipe (until I get a dedicated cob for it)
I can only blow small smoke rings "jelly fish" rings. I haven't figured out how people do those large ones

$44 for this year's Figgy Pudding and Cordial Friends? They are amazing blends but there's no way I can afford that.
I genuinely like The Country Squire's blends but man do their prices make it tough to buy from them even without including they have the highest shipping cost.
