About This Pipe Tobacco
Seattle Pipe Club's Galloping Gertie take its name from the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge that spanned the Tacoma Narrows Straight in Puget Sound and collapsed just four months after it opened due to aeroelastic flutter caused by high-speed winds. Seattle Pipe Club's tribute to the ill-fated bridge is a crumble cake of red and black, stoved Virginias, St. James Perique, unsweetened Black Cavendish, and a touch of Turkish Orientals. It provides a somewhat complex, yet savory flavor profile and is a remarkably unique Va/Per.

softens the sour from the perique. As far as Turkish orientals, I don't know. I don't know what to associate to the profile that represents Turkish orientals. Never had them before and don't get anything dramaticly different in the flavour to identify it from another va-per that doesn't have it included. Good sweet va-per! Tin came with a little over a years age....Read More

Huge Stoved Virginia Sweetness

might have smoked five blends in their entire life that were stocked in their small town drug store. Tin note is grassy and clean. No latakia in this one so the tin note immediately strikes as much different than his other cakes. The familiar Virginia note is most noticeable. Pressing the tobacco's together allows all the oils and juices to saturate the cake and brings a deeper flavor that ribbon cut blends. When you smoke a cake there is something there, a deep body, that’s not found with most ribbon cut mixtures (there are exceptions). This is a stoved VA/ PER cake with that black cavendish softness and body that adds depth. Not detecting much from the orientals although my palate may not be as refined as many of you other gentleman. This blend is very sweet and the smoke is like sugar hitting your tongue. After several bowls of this spaced out over a few days my mouth was still overwhelmed with the amount of sweetness delivered as the smoke hit my tongue. I can only articulate what my taste buds are telling me and this may not be considered sweet for you. I know that stoving the Virginia’s can create a sweet, caramelized taste, as I’ve used it for blending. After several bowls I’ve deemed this too sweet for me. It’s a good blend but the sweetness overpowers almost every flavor that comes after it. If you’re an aromatic smoker or prefer very sweet tobacco’s this will be one you want to check out. As always, pick one up and decide for yourself. Tasting notes are so subjective and this may be fantastic for you....Read More

s combined with the unsweetened cavendish is a perfect seasoning just like a bit of sugar on top on barley cereal. I think I’ve found the complimentary blend to Plum Pudding....Read More
