McC Royal Cajun Series

[Slow Triathlete]

Has anyone tried any of these blends? Opinions? Is one better than the other?

Thanks.

I've had about 5 bowls of both Ebony and Dark. I am glad I tried them but I'll not likely get more. But they are both worthy of a shot and are interesting to say the least. Think of McC Virginia Woods as a baseline.

I found both Cajun's to be much easier to deal with and smoke that the VA Woods. Problem for me was Dark was too light and Ebony was a bit too sweet. But certainly you should give them a shot.

I have tried neither but....

Scott-I have a tin of Ebony that I haven't opened yet. If you shoot me your addy, I'll send you a bit to try.

This will give me a perfect excuse to sample some myself!

Evan,

Does it come in the usual McC broken flake form that takes forever to dry out?

Been looking to pick a few tins up of the series to give them a try.

Kinda, but not as hard to dry as Xmas Cheer or Dark Star. But truth is what I had was in sample baggies so who knows how much they broke down before I got them. But yeah...it seemed to take a bit to dry out

I just finished a bowl of Ebony. Took it out of a freshly opened can and let it dry for no more than a half hour. It's what I guess you'd call a "cut flake"? Originally, when I first saw it, I figured it would dry out too much and become a bit hard, similar to 5105. Didn't have any problems keeping it lit.

It was pretty good...mild, yet sweet. I'll give it another try in a day or two.

I am currently in possesion of ebony, and I'm dying to break into that tin.
