A heavenly smoke indeed

While I am unsure about being Ordained smoking this limited run blend, but I am certainly blessed with a very pleasant tasting blend. I do enjoy all sorts of blends but don’t smoke a lot of straight bright Virginia’s for several reasons including it... Read More
’s tendency to burn hot and bite, thin smoke…I like to blow smoke rings, and they are typically lacking complexity. Just know non of the above applies to Ordained the blessed blend!
These beautiful thin golden brown flakes fold and stuff beautifully and come with a good to go moisture level, though I intend to try it dried just a bit. The Virginia leaf that went into them is well matured and of course pressing into blocks for slicing into flakes helps too. Slice is a good word here as it definitely has some really nice bready notes, from nice fresh bread to darker toastier loaves. Think great lightly toasted bread with a dab of lemon marmalade as there are some nice gentle citrus notes and definitely some sweetness. There are some nice delicate hay flavors as well. It somehow makes a bit denser smoke than I expected with tiny touch of spice, not black pepper but more the slightly herbal floral notes of white pepper, just enough to make this a pretty complex blend for a straight Virginia. No signs at all of the negatives I noted above, cool, sweet, smooth, mellow and bite free. Strength is the mild side of medium, I sense no added flavoring and taste is medium or slightly above. A very pleasant room note and easily an all day smoke. 4 out of 4 for my tastes at least, try it and see what you think.
I am far from a saint, but Ordained is heavenly.

After the last attempt at a different blend I won’t be ordering this stuff. Even the original isn’t up to much imo. I know people get bent out of shape when people leave reviews before tasting but I wouldn’t trust this stuff if my pipe depended on it... Read More

Loaded up a bowl, and let it sit packed in my humidor for 10 hours. Love the cut, and taste. Looks to have great aging potential. When the cherry dropped, and I was down to the last third of the bowl, the honeysuckle notes came through just right for... Read More
my taste buds. I like the blue Presbyterian, so this one compliments my repertoire. I smoke Virginia, VaPer, and English tinned tobacco's. Usually, more English during cold temperatures, and VaPers/Virginia in hot temperatures. After being in a jar for a week, it hits smoother too. Just had another excellent bowl. Enjoy yourselves.

Presbyterian Ordained has restored me

Product: Presbyterian Ordained 50g
Smoked a couple of tins of this, so far, and this one can't be beat. Having been raised Presbyterian, I think it only fitting and proper that we have our own mixtures. The regular Presbyterian has been a favorite and I think this could exceed it. Hop... Read More

A Straightforward unmolested Virginia.
Tin note of fresh hay and earth. Tobacco is a flake of marbled yellow, tan and brown. Moisture content is good, few may want to dry it a bit. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic... Read More
is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is mild to medium and very consistent, with notes of very woody, fermented vegetation, dry hay, spices, very bready, very earthy, floral, slightly spicy, zesty, mild vinegary, leather, citrus peel, a semi-sweet grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is good. Read Less
Mild and without bite

Product: Presbyterian Ordained 50g
Right out of the tin, the smell is light and bready, maybe a little hay-like.
I broke up a flake and packed it down into my MM Charlestown Cobbler and lit up. This blend is mild, mellow, and does not demand your attention.
Flavor notes are reminisc... Read More
ent of corn whiskey, thin pizza crust, and just a little bit like golden raisins. I’d imagine this might pair really well with a full-bodied white wine, cream soda, or green tea.
Room note, per the girlfriend, is good.
Overall, it packs well, behaves well, does not bite, and offers an overall relaxing, if simple, smoke. I’m excited to see how these do with age. Read Less

It wasn't the worst thing I've had in my pipe, but I'm not impressed. Maybe it has something to do with me disliking just about anything sutliff. It's mild, and a bit bland for my tastes. I'm no hipster professional at describing the little nuances, ... Read More
so I have no real descriptive review to post. Reminded me of a light marlboro. If it came back for a second round, I wouldn't purchase it again. Read Less

I cracked a fresh tin for giggles, and liked it enough I ordered more. It’s mild. The citrus hits first before you get the traditional sweetness of the VA. I didn’t have to dry it, got through the first bowl with two relights, and the wife liked the ... Read More

I’m a Va Flake guy, so I was excited about this one. The tin note is that hay & citrus that you know and love. The flakes are typical of K&K flake tobaccos. Very nice, easy to rub out. Perfect moisture, easy light. Smoking the blend is where ... Read More
it is a bit of a let down for me. It just lacks depth and is really too mild for my tastes. I got a fever, and the only prescription is more flavor! That’s what I need from this flake, everything else is great. Read Less

I just smoked my first bowl of Ordained and all I can say is that I really like what I'm tasting. Smoking it in a small bowled Ropp Etudiant, I can actually taste all of the advertised flavors including a light Citrus note that's very pleasant. Thi... Read More
s will quickly become a Go-to all day favorite for me, due to it's light character and ease of enjoyment. It's not a challenge to love this blend, and I expect to be buying more of this. I can't wait to taste this after a few years of age. Read Less
