Subject: a new smoking experience

I've just had a unique smoking experience, mango cavendish.
Yes, mango, that ever popular tropical fruit.  I wasn't to supprised at
the taste, considering that it was recommended by my tobaconist, but I
was suprised at its existence.  Pat (proprieter of Jon's Pipe Shop, 
Champaign Illinois) studied under a real master of the craft who specialized
in exotic cavendish's.  Pat still buys from that company today, but with
its late owner's death, the quality has declined somewhat.  The mango
was one of his last products.  Its cut down with something else (probably
vanilla cavendish), and is somewhat lighter than black cavendish, but
not by much.  The taste is delicious, somewhat tart, subtly fruity,
sweet without being cloying.  The experience was the closest I've had
with a flavored tobacco to actually eating the genuine article, it had
the same lightness of taste yet solidity of substance that a real mango
has.

[This sounded so tasty that I wrote to Ami and got Pat's address; he's
sending me some of the mango by mail. I'll let you know how it is. -S.]
