About This Pipe Tobacco
For Apples & Cream, the folks at C&D combine an all black mixture of unsweetened black Cavendish and a bit of #734 Green River Vanilla, flavored with a proprietary "cream" aromatic and an amount of apple flavoring so generous, that you might feel yourself transported to an apple pie bake-off.

Apples & Cream

Three bowls were consecutively sampled in a MM Huck Finn (seasoned).
This is a blend I had a lot of high hopes for. I had debated this blend for a while before staring this little project, mainly because 1) the description alluded to “so much apple you’ll think you are at an apple pie bake off (sic)” and 2) while I may not be a huge fan of cherry and other fruit aromatics, I love apple blends. I am a massive fan of Erin Go Bragg Apple Crumble for example.
The aroma from the bag however made me temper my expectations - maybe I got a weak sample, but I didn’t pick up Apple. At all. I got more of a chocolate milk mix powder , and quality vanilla. That kind I like - that makes you think of Oreo cream.
Warily I had the first bowl. Thin grey to white smoke , pleasant but no apple , and a familiar friend. This paralleled Berries and Cream , with the nice underpinnings of an aro I can get comfy with. Still no apple. But - should note - enjoyable as it is.
Second bowl - again - nothing here to offend - nothing to make me say “well this isn’t good” because it is good - it’s just bereft of the the promised apple. Not in the bag. Not in the smoke. Not in the taste. Just nowhere.
Mid bowl I do for a millisecond think I’ve found something , but it’s elusive and gone before I can be confident.
But …. This smoke does remind me of being a kid , back when smoking wasn’t vilified, and people smoked everywhere. I remember what it was like to be in a Kmart department store and smell a pipe - somewhere - just lightly and sweetly perfuming the air. This is that kind of blend.
There may be no apple, but it is as comfortable as an old favorite sweatshirt.
Third bowl I’ve decided the rating , and I’ve decided that despite being a “fruit” aro (albeit minus the promoted fruit) that it’s a decent and quality blend , so I push it a little. Yes, you can freight train it to ash. I also have a suspicion that this is a blend that if smoked rough could sour a pipe in short order.
Final verdict - the ounce I got doesn’t deliver in the apple but all in all it’s a good blend. Im going to gubenit the benefit of the doubt that maybe I just got a samlle that the apple has either weakened or it just Is less than I can pick up
My rating : 3- this is good - I’d buy it on sale Or to get free shipping in an order.

It should be noted that it is best to taste with a reading bucket.

nd and wasn't very good. I'm going to jar it and let it sit for a few months and try it again, maybe it just needs to age. Only reason it's getting 1 star from me is because it surprisingly stayed lit really well, even though it felt damp....Read More
