Cut open the bag and put the Stonehaven into Mason jars. Left some out to dry a bit and loaded my Aldo Velani Calabash to sit back and enjoy. Okay, maybe it's just me, and one other person that made a similar post, but I don't get the Stonehaven luvfest. The bag note is to die for. Plums, raisins and the flakes are as dense, dark and heavy as asphalt roofing shingles. This is a good thing. The leatheryness is incomparable to anything else I've seen. I was expecting to be blown away, but I wasnt. Maybe it's just my taste buds, or the fact I had a DE Undercrown a couple hours ago. It honestly seems one dimensional to me. Don't get me wrong, the stuff looks uber quality and I'm sure it is. It's the flatness of the flavor that has me puzzled. I was expecting a lot because I love Esoterica's Penzance and ASTB. Maybe it was the expectation that has me thinking less of this than is truly there. The lack of Orientals might be throwing me off too. Im still smoking the rest of the bowl right now and it's turning into a beautiful gray/white ash. Only one legit relight. The other I let go out. It should be awesome!
So, please let me know what I am missing, and what I should be looking for.
