Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

Never tried anything with Syrian Latakia in it. Going to try some Artisan Blend some time soon been wanting to try it but still catching up on full tins of previous samples at the moment.

Just finished the Peter Stokkebye this Jimbo, nice stuff smoked best in a cob for me. Got the most flavour out of it from a cob. Worth getting in my opinion.

Prefer to put my effort into raising the glass.

I know what I like and can tell the difference between a good rum and a bad one but when it comes to describing a taste I'm not your man, not very good at it. Don't think I have th epalate for it.

Apologies for posting a direct link to my site. I won't start doing this regularly I assure you. However, I figured you all would have an interest in a review of this fine specimen!

I would buy more from GQ if it wasn't for the cost of shipping. Just got an order from GQ today had some Breakfast Blend can r...

And a few from Gawith... 1. Squadron Leader: surely an old classic, a competitor to Dunhill's EMP, light to medium, actually on the border between English and Balkan. Criticized for being a bit mild, praised for being a bit mild. 2. Skiff Mixture: often spoken of with Squadron, this one is definite...

Awhile ago I bought some Mac B Dark Twist and I found it not only difficult to keep alight but also not overly impressive. I jarred it and left it. Yesterday I wanted a nice smoke but a simple one without too much complexity or spice, so I looked at the Dark twist again. But this time to add an ext...

Exactamundo... ...once having gotten into some of the English blends and their latakia/oriental elements, I too have moved away from the MacB's Navy Flake.

Haven't forgotten you da'rum having the sixty six now. Cheers

Nearest I got to a straight Virginia was Best Brown Flake didn't care for it. maybe with time my tastes will change but for now I'll stick to orientals and Virgia Burley mixes with the aro thrown in for good measure.

I'll give this a go.

Apart from his old man, surprised at who his mentors are.

It is quite sad that lots of people who drink rum are exposed mostly to the sugared versions of the drink. I am waiting to go to the UK Rumfest in order to see the level of exposure the different brands get and whether Bristol Sp/BBR/Cadenhead are present. Bristol Sp/BBR/Cadenhead are present. The ...
