Hi Phone Guy,
The various cheeses turned out very well overall. [8D]
My panel of tasters [

][

]voted mature cheddar as the favourite with the black peppercorn second, although I personnally was not overkeen on it... to use a phrase I have used before it had no "wow" factor over the original unsmoked productIMO. [

Mild cheddar was popular whilst the other two came out as "ok", probably won't bother smoking them again although the smoked red leicester has been used a lot grated/shredded on chilli's. [:p][:p]
The two dogs on my panel (a chocolate labrador and a mongrel) appear to rate all the cheeses equal and wolf the lot down at an alarmimg rate of knots
][}:)]
I currently have requests for more mature cheddar equating to several pounds of cheese which I have in the fridge ready to smoke in the next couple of days. I also have orders for the black peppercorn mature cheddar. In addition I have a chive and garlic mature cheddar that I am going to try.[

The only other cheese I have tried to date is Blue Cheese but I felt that smoking this cheese did nothing to enhance it's already distinctive flavour and I probably won't try this again.
Favourite bisquettes to date are apple and oak, the latter works well with the mature cheddar in particular. [

Hope this gives you some ideas
