Cascadia Sampler Sale

Wanted to write a second review now that I’ve finished my first bowl. Wow. It had one of the cleanest finishes. I cut and lazily rubbed out my first half-bowl and let it sit for 3 hours on the cutting board (unintentionally) before smoking. No moisture left in the bowl, a decent nic hit. Man was that maybe the best bowl I’ve ever smoked. Floral, nutty on the tongue, barely any lingering anything after having a glass of water. There was some jasmine floralness, nutty, the faintest sweetness, thick white smoke, burned cool. I discovered that when I was at the bottom of the bowl having trouble relighting that all I had to do was shake out the loose white ash to reveal the lightly charred remains below before re-tamping and lightinand getting another 10 minute smoke to a fine white ash. Was good to the lens! This is absolutely superb. There was a hefty amount of spice on just the first few puffs, but then gives way to the wonderfully nuanced flavors within. Man and what flavor! Really this tobacco has high flavor quantity. It almost makes me never want to go back to aros. This is one of those smokes that may appear simple and straightforward but is really surprisingly nuanced depending on how you smoke it and doesn’t bore! The natural tobacco flavor is strong yet never overpowering. Imagine one of the best cigars you’ve ever had but with none of the drawbacks. That would be Cascadia Vertical Limit. The product description fits the experience very well. This was one of those rare times in my life where I so look forward to trying a product and hope for it to be like I imagined, and it actually was, BUT was even better because the experience was so good. I wouldn’t smoke it on an empty stomach, and was slightly dizzy when I stood up. Despite all that, and what others have said, to me this could easily be an all day smoke because the flavor is so good yet again somehow not overwhelming. This is what I imagined pipe smoking should be like when I first got into the hobby
