Product: Hearth & Home Smoky Mountain 1.75oz
This is a nice blend with a very dark profile that stays flavorful.
The crumble plug is heavy and dense.
Burn is slow and cool.
No bite, does need relights during a bowl.
I dislike mentioning other brands when making a review but Sillems commodore tastes very close to this blend.
I give the HH version a higher rating as it is smoother and despite being a dark flavor profile it stays light without rough edges.
I use a smaller bowl which fits the very slow burn well.
Highly recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers who want to try a very classic dark heavy blend without all the bad parts of dark heavy blends....Read More

Product: Hearth & Home Smoky Mountain 1.75oz
Tin note of barbeque fruit. Tobacco is a reddish dark brown Krumble Kake that measures over a 1/2 thick. Somewhat dense and has a good moisture content. Breaks apart and rubs out easily. Some may want to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few extra relights. The strength is medium to strong and nic is medium. No flavoring detected. Taste is full and consistent, with notes of citrus, bread, sour fermented, vegetation, smoky, acidic, wood, earth, very dry, bitter, floral, leather, spice, vinegary, mildly spicy, lemon zest, a sweet tart and tangy dark fruit background note, and a moderate peppery retro. Virginia is leading with Kentucky supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

I was looking forward to this tobacco but it arrived in a tiny that had lost its vacuum seal. Judging by the condition of the tobacco it may have never sealed correctly. Bone dry crumbs of tobacco. I've never received a tin in this condition from smoking pipes....oh well.

This is a pleasure to smoke. Sometimes you smell the tobacco and it is better than when it is smoked. This tobacco delivers that smell to taste. It is rich & aromatic. The scent is similar to barbecue and brown sugar. I'm going to put this in storage and can't wait to try it a year from now. This is excellent right now but I am anticipating it will be amazing after some ageing. I strongly recommend buying some. The only downside is it is rather smoky. The smoke is pleasant, but tends to be a bit much at times....Read More

Truly enjoyable in every way. Will order several more tins tonight before it becomes unavailable. 5 stars is not enough....6 or 8 if possible would be more accurate....Read More
For Lovers of Kentucky Leaf

Product: Hearth & Home Smoky Mountain 1.75oz
Absolutely smooth, with a savory, rich barbecue taste. Slightly dry crumble cake that breaks up easily and smokes slow, just the way a good Kentucky tobacco should. Sweetness and tang from the virginias in perfect proportion with the American and African Kentucky leaf for a perfect mix of floral notes and mesquite. Nicotine isn’t a sledge hammer but absolutely satisfies....Read More
