About This Pipe Tobacco
A rich, complex journey of Black Cavendish and bright Virginias, passing through regions of dark Burleys and dark-fired Kentucky, elevated by vanilla and dark rum. All aboard.
Customer Reviews
*I found the room note to be pleasant.
*The taste falls in the middle - not overwhelming, nor underwhelming. Balanced in my opinion.
*Bulk Blend
*Ribbon cut aromatic
* Not overly moist. In fact I found the moisture level spot on.
Flavor:
*I'm not experienced with Dark Fired Kentucky but it seems to be used in a condiment proportion here. There is a floral note that I assume is coming off the DFK that I've read as Lakeland like. I haven't had Lakeland, however, the floral notes match the description.
*The dark rum takes center stage with note of molasses popping in and out through the first half of the bowl.
*Vanilla is present but as what seems like a flavor softener. I noticed it only because I just finished up smoking the last of my Backwoods Buttered Rum, so the softer edges and rum note I believe comes from the vanilla.
*All around the flavor reminds me of ginger bread/spice cake. Not exactly, but reminiscent.
Although this is a rather mellow aromatic it is not flat or one dimensional. The tobacco components (I feel this is a Virginia based blend) don't ever seem over powered by the topping (which is moderate to light). Nor does one tobacco component seem to dominate the bowl.
Overall this is a enjoyable and balanced aromatic. I will be ordering more as a year round smoke....Read More
This blend stumped me. Upfront I’ll say I didn’t care for it , not because it was bad per se, but because it wasn’t anything.
When I opened the bag and took the library jar, the aromas I noted were sweet potato, black tea and something that reminded me of a Lakeland sauce. Kinda like the ghost of Condor. That got me excited. (Remember , for most of these I have not read the description - that’s important as you will see.)
Bowl one and I was confused. The “Lakeland” scent was yielding nothing but the faintest of faint tastes. It was like smoking hot air. Looking at my notes I didn’t cite anything directly negative or offensive - just that it was “nothing”.
A second bowl did me no better. I tried a slower cadence to no difference. Same when I pushed it a bit. At this point I gave up and red the description- and when I saw “dark fired” and “rum” I was even more confounded.
I’m guessing the rum is where I was getting the Lakeland like note. But I love DFK and damned if I identified it anywhere in this blend.
More of the same feeling that it was nothing , and so as I finished my bowl of hot aromatic air , I read the 13 reviews and was amused. They run all or nothing , with many other saying similarly that the blend doesn’t match the description, it wasn’t what they expected , etc , while others sing its praises.
For me , it’s a “never need this again” blend.
My rating : 1- I never want to have this again.
