A perfect marriage of rum spirit with his classic Virginia style blend plus Oriental leaf, Latakia and Perique. Enjoy Joe's gift of Mississippi River Rum Barrel Aged.

The 1/4 slices didn’t feel as moist as many reviews led me to believe they would be. Crumbled nicely, and packing the bowl was effortless. Didn’t take to flame as readily as I expected and a few relights were necessary early on, after that it burned cool and clean to the bottom of the bowl.
The flavor wasn’t what I expected right off, as the tin had me elated and expecting a bit more. After I got into it a bit, the flavors built, and began playing with my not so sensitive palate. I don’t drink rum, never cared for it so I can’t relate any “rum flavors” imparted by the cask. Sweetness came first, a mellow very creamy sweetness which was carried through by the almost physical feel to the texture of the smoke… thick and creamy filling my mouth and ol factory. So far, I have to say it was perfection. The flavors once the bowl was burning properly (next time it’ll get 30 mins or so drying time) were heavenly blend of breadiness, creamy sweetness, slightly smoky, no rough edges and no one baccy playing more of role than another. The exception is say is the Perique which I’d say was a no-show til the last 1/3 of the bowl.
Smoked this first bowl in my Molina bent apple, and since I don’t do rum E&J XO, a nice sweet brandy did just fine.
The only thing I can add, is that I wish this was available by the pound! Loved it. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!...Read More
