It’s almost time for Spicy Chai, Scare-O-Matic, Dread Planet 2024, Haunted Virginia, and other fall fare. Dread Planet 2024 will be based on Meditations except with twice the perique. The blend for the slow smoke competition at the Texas Pipe Show in November is also finalized with the tentative name “B. Frog’s Showtime by E&K”
As we rotate for fall, the special selections on our pipes/leather will change with a new exclusive aromatic and Virginia/Perique. The aromatic reminds me of walking into a Cinnabon store back in the 90s and smelling the Pecan Bons. We were shooting for a New Orleans Bread Pudding room note, but of the different nuts the Pecan is very forward and of the spices the cinnamon is forward. It has a nice fine cut and we’re letting it get dry before bagging it to sell. The Virginia/Perique blend will just be a micro-batch production due to the use of some rare Perique.
We plan to start rolling things out Monday September 2 starting with the aromatic fare.
Cheers,
Ken
