Devil's Holiday

I'm not much of a smoker of aromatics these days, but every now and
then the sweet tooth with call out. I found some Devil's Holiday that
I had put back some months back because I found it bitey, hot smoking
and pretty much worthless.

It's amazing what a few months of drying out the PG content will do
for a tobacco. I found it to be a pretty pleasant smoke. Gone was the
bite and general goopiness.

I have about 4 ounces left, which should last me for about 5 years.

Bill,
how many of us have had that happen in our smoking life? It is best
to never say never with a new tobacco. Letting new to our taste
tobacco age sometimes works out very well. Thanks for your example.

Was yours from bulk, Bill? I have a sealed tin in the cellar with a
couple of years on it. I'm hoping they did not use as much PG on the
tin version.

Ahhhh the good old Devils Holiday, it to me has never bit me hard at all
unless I was puffing on it like a freight train. A bit of drying out after
opening a fresh tin usually works for me. That blend alone has become one
of my most favorite blends. Bill smoke it slowly and it will satisfy any
sweet tooth you may have.
