The Navigator: Charting the Course of a Blend - Puffery #008

If The Explorer was about discovery, The Navigator was about direction.

In this episode of Puffery, we continue our journey through ADVentura’s blends, using Rick Rubin’s philosophy of the Artist, the Editor, and the Collaborator to break down the evolution of The Navigator.

⚓ The Artist – How Marcel and Henderson took the lessons from The Explorer and set out to create something more refined, structured, and intentional.

🛠 The Editor – The growing depth of their palate knowledge, the adjustments they made, and the lessons learned in balancing boldness with smooth complexity.

🌍 The Collaborator – How working with farmers, rollers, and mentors helped shape The Navigator into the blend that defined the next step in ADVentura’s story.

Mastery isn’t just about finding your way—it’s about knowing how to read the map. This is how The Navigator became a blend that guides the smoker on a deeper, richer journey.
