I'm making this thread for expressions of interest in a monthly tasting club and ideas on how it could work.
My initial thought was that we could perhaps do a flavour journey/exploration... E.g we get a couple blends a month of a certain archetype and reflect on our thoughts.
We could start with Virginia and work our way through Burley, Cavendish/Aromatics, Perique, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish and Dark Fired Kentucky, with the end result hopefuly being that we finish up having a better understanding of the flavours/characteristics of each type of tobacco and their roles in a blend.
For example the first month could be something like Sam Gawith FVF and Orlik Golden Sliced.
Im really not sure of the best way to work this? We come up with what we're getting then source it ourselves? We decide what we want and then buy in bulk to try and get it at a discount?
Thoughts ideas?
