I'm quickly drinking up what I have and not worrying about its future.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy the sweet sarsaparilla aroma and the smooth woody flavor. I can't remember what I payed for it, but it was $15 or less. I wouldn't pay more than that. <BR/><BR/>New Wave of Shupu?

It's clean, pleasant - and that's all. The hype about a new frontier in shupu is baffling. Wouldn't something like the 7452 be more promising as a fresher-tasting shu with aging potential?

It's rather a surprise that this would attract fakes - they must be easy to spot, given the fine nature of the original bing's leaves.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Toodlepip,<BR/><BR/>HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-27982515357897538832007-07-29T22:47:00.000+01:002007-07-29T22:47:00.000+01:00v93 is now more than just a touch expensive... it'...v93 is now more than just a touch expensive... it's really expensive.<BR/><BR/>While it's nice... is it really worth all the hype?
