Someone bring me up to speed on Ken Byron Ventures
- Thread starter millarddj

I just smoked Jupiter Slices for the first time (thanks to @Stubble ) and will be watching for it daily, as I fear I'll start smoking cigarettes if I miss the next release. I will let you know as soon as I see it, but you've got to start responding to my bonchi posts, as I have no idea what I'm doing. My favorite one appears to be biting the dust...and by 'dust' I mean 'akadama shake'.
As far as "small batch blenders", I support whoever blends good tobacco. If you're small batch and you don't blend stuff I like, I won't buy your stuff. But if I do like it, I'll pay a premium to help support your effort. KBV could raise their prices and I'd still want it.

I also have some from either @millarddj or @lowercaseG (sorry guys i jarred all the blends and can’t remember exactly who sent me what anymore) sounds like i need to expedite it to the front of the line of blends i need to try.
First puff and I was hooked - same as Byronic Slices. There's some underlying flavor in both that is similar, and that I haven't experienced before. Makes me wonder if the Lepeltier clay pipe isn't contributing, as I used it to smoke both. I'll have to smoke some BBF in it and see if it's making the smoke 'cleaner' as advertised.
I keep a spreadsheet that has the names of who sent what. It's not really time-consuming once you get used to it.

I have no memory. I've already thanked a couple of people publicly for things they didn't send me. Now I always double-check the nerd-sheet!
But I'm sure of this: the bowl of 2011 FVF I just smoked was from you. (yeah, I'm going to go dbl-check the spreadsheet while I still have time to edit this). I smoked it in the Lepeltier clay and it was no better than in my briars, so the KBV Byronic and Jupiter slices have withstood the comparison test of greatness.

Is this what you're looking for?
