A pretty well rounded smoke, should please a general range of tastes

its a nice smooth smoke with a bit of spiciness and a smooth nicotine hit. Slightly above a mid-range in strength. burns evenly and completely, where a lot of blends overdo it with the dark spicy tobacco this one gives just enough to make it interest... Read More
ing and gives a nice touch of the exotic. Most similar blends I've tried put the darker tobacco forward and they overwhelm the rest of the tobacco this one really gets it right, where others give you potpourri this one gives you smooth tobacco with something to contemplate over. If you feel let down by other similar blends, this one should give you an indication of what a good blend should be like. I believe it would blend well with some sweet natural virginia, because I think the only thing missing is a bit of sweetness. Read Less

Balance! Balance is a good adjective to use to describe this tobacco. Just enough Latakia to give it that smokiness. Nice sourness from the Oriental, and the Virginia as the foundation. Although I found the Perique lost in the mix a little unless you... Read More

I like it. Well rounded. I can taste the sourness and spice, so I can get my fix when I get a hankering for it.

柔和的口感,第一口烟熏味顶上来就进入状态了。一开始嘴巴里就隐约捕捉到一股甜味,像是点了蜂蜜残留在舌头根部的感觉,不是很自然的甜香,就是甜。接着奶味出现,与甜味或交替或混合,烟熏味一直伴随。抽完以后,握着斗的手还能散发出隐隐约约的奶味儿。挺有意思的一款调配。散草价格也挺实惠。

Odessa is decently balanced in blend. Cool smoke, no bite, medium bodied. What I do notice is that similar cigar characteristic of it growing steadily more intense as it burns down. It concentrates to a dizzying apex of rich flavor at the bottom of t... Read More

A rather nice combination of flavours, well cooked, it has different layers. Probably one of my favourite all-day smoke from CD.

I didn't find this one to my liking. It's not a bad blend just for me there are other blends that I like better.
Very good.

Odessa is very tastey. For me it gets good after the initial light and you lose some of the burley earthy taste. It gets real tastey near the bottom of the bowl.

Finally, after four years since I began smoking pipe I found a decent tobacco. Tried about thirty different types of probably a dozen of tobacconists - nothing can compare. Not only because of quality but also due to its persistence, and surprising c... Read More

This is a great blend for folks who want to try an non-aromatic tobacco. I enjoy Balkan and English blends but this blend does not have any heavy condiment tastes associated with either. Will be ordering more in larger tins, if available. It can be t... Read More
he tobacco blend to enjoy throughout the day.
Any old timers from N.J. remember Schulte's Pipe Shop in Maplewood, N.J.? They used to sell a blend called "Jolly Tar".That was an interesting blend.
Before old smoke shops close, if their blends were registered with the U.S. patent office, others could purchase the recipe, from their heirs. Hope Smoking pipes looks into this issue.
Know of another shop that will be, in the near future closing, He might have some good selling proprietary blends to offer. Of course the proprietary blends could be purchased without being registered, in my humble opinion, without going through the expense of registering it. Read Less
