Nice lightly smoky. Good blend, you could smoke this all day. Burns completely, doesn’t bite in my meer which I usually only smoke dark fired ky in. Cool room note.
Decent smoke

on light up and relights. Room note is nice for an English. Not my favorite, but definitely not bad. Give it a try, maybe itll be right up your alley....Read More

but I'm used to smoking cigars. I wouldn't want this for all day, it's a little strong for that....Read More
So much more than just an English blend.

en if you love cigars, you’ll love the ever present and generous amount of cigar leaf, giving you dark spices and black pepper. No throwing in a sprinkle of cigar leaf just to say it includes it. You WILL taste it throughout the bowl. I’m not a huge ribbon fan, but as usual, it’s easily packed, and lights and burns easily and consistently all the way to the bottom of the bowl. But the strength, while delicious, means Billy is not an all-day smoke, nor is he recommended for new smokers or the nicotine-sensitive....Read More

ay, this is a very pleasant smoke. Don't be intimidated by the first whiff, even if you're a regular aromatic smoker. The tobacco is obviously very good quality. In the 4 oz bag I ordered, while it is a ribbon cut, there are some beautiful thick chunks of almost flake. Despite it being an English, I find the room note very delicious.
This is no vanilla, fruity flavor smoke. (Although there's nothing wrong with them, and like those myself as well. Life is too short not to smoke whatever you enjoy.)
This is something unique, and special. Upon light, I was worried that pungent smell would also be the taste, but every note of the Virginia, latakia, burley, and cigar leaf goes together like a sultry blues melody on a humid summer night.
I may be in New England, but a bowl of Billy Budd transports me to humid nights eating boiled peanuts bought by the roadside on my Grandads porch in deep Georgia in July.
Nic is strong - as someone that usually tried to smoke lighter blends, this was apparent fast. But honestly, do yourself a favor, even if you're strictly an aromatic lover, and give this one a shot. It's different from everything - and that's why it's fantastic....Read More
