When you start your taste testing of your cheese. I have found that you need to start with the softer cheeses first. I think the smoke takes just a little longer to penetrate the harder cheeses.
Bacon is the Crack Cocaine of the Food World.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

Once you taste it, you will start rotating your inventory.  I have a 3 week rotation of cheese in the fridge.  Loading up tomorrow with a myriad of cheeses to get back on track.  HPC is awesome the way the heat gets stronger.  If you have access to a slicer, cut it thing and put it on some smoked Baby Boulders. 

If you like HPC, grab some Pepper Jack.  It's softer so you have to watch the temps but the creamy with the heat is unmatched.

Enjoy G9mm!!!

Congrats and welcome to doing all the work and watching it walk out the door....but that is what it is all about.  Now you have learned why you rotate your cheeses.  You better get smoking...   ;D

Wish I could find some hot pepper cheese to smoke. Seems I can only find small packages and I want a BIG block of it.
You are going to enjoy that cheese

Devo,
Where are you located?  Is there a deli or grocery store that you can hook up with?  They tend to give a deep discount for a block.

Good Luck
