A bit of a custom mix, with a flake of Germain's quarter flake of the HH and about the same amount of the Grousemoor mixed around so spread evenly we have my latest experiment.
The goal to have a floral, sweet and spicy smoke, and in that we have success. The smell from the bowl is very nice and complex a sweet woody BBQ floral and fruity smell with the smell of just decent tobacco which the three blends are
This mix thanks to bigger amount of the Germain's lights beautifully requiring only a few relights. The smoke tastes like it Smells which yes is unusual for the pipe. But it does its woodsy BBQ sweet like campfire wood but done with a sweet smelling wood, then you are hit immediately but the Lakeland from the Grousemoor so that lemongrass citrus sweet combining with the hay and stone fruit sweetness of the Pure HH.......as you exhale and puff a nice spicy hit on the tongue which is more developed on the retro developing as cinnamon peppery hit.
The finish left in the mouth is much the same woody sweet fruity spice in what is just such an interesting combo, with the lightness and sweetness of summer with the spicy woodsy smokey hit of the Germain's perfectly complementing the sweet.
Forty minutes of pure contemplation and relaxation, and thanks to the mix delivering a heavier nic hit than anticipated, left me with a slight buzz.
Sometimes one blend will do but sometimes these little mixing of blends really does uncovers some quite beautiful flavourful results.
This allowed me to save on the Germain's which is notoriously hard to get hold of, and HH pure which has been discontinued and gave an extra dimension to just Grousemoor.
A wondrous combo, so my fellow pipers what do you like to mix together what surprises have you found with combos
