Subject: The arrival of the mango

The mango cavendish arrived last week, and I've been smoking it on and
off for about a week. Pat, the proprietor of the pipe shop, didn't
seem in the least surprised to be getting letters from strangers a
thousand miles away asking for strange blends. In fact, he sent me a
rather nice letter on his blending beliefs (which reminds me, I gotta
pay him!! :-9

In any case, the mango cavendish has a pleasant aroma and does,
indeed, taste like a real mango. Because it's cavendish, it burns a
little hot (at least I find that cavendish usually smokes hot). It's
also probably best to smoke this in the first pipe of the day, when
your palate is clear.

Also this week, I found myself with some tobacco and without a pipe,
so I invested in a corncob to keep in the car. The first smoke was,
surprisingly, quite hot! So here's a question: who knows about the
care and feeding of corncobs? Will they always smoke hot?

I hope to hear from y'all soon. Until next time, smoke in peace.
