Very clove-forward, but nice!
I'm a beginner pipe smoker, and this was the very first thing I've smoked in my very first pipe. I chose this flavor because it sounded like it would be similar to the vanilla clove cigarettes I used to enjoy.<br /><br />The product was very fluffy, which is apparently a good thing. It lit easily, though it apparently went out about 3/4 of the way through the bowl. That may have been my amateur pack job, though!<br /><br />The flavor was very good, however it's extremely clove-forward. I couldn't taste anything except the clove while smoking...the vanilla showed up as an aftertaste, and I couldn't recognize any other individual flavors. Overall, the taste was very warming. I'd probably appreciate that characteristic more in the winter!<br /><br />I look forward to experimenting further with this blend, both by itself and mixed with other substances.
