One for the Cigar Lovers - don’t listen to people who say this isn’t good

tastes and the smoke feels in your mouth.
I just tried this for the first time today and it’s easily my new favorite!
nutty, chocolatey earthy a little bit peppery is what I mostly get out of this and the smell of the charred tobacco smells almost exactly like a cigar. on top of that the body is more medium much closer to cigar smoke. I’m not saying this blend is exactly the same as smoking a cigar, but it’s by far the closest I’ve come across to date.
I’ve tried at least 15 different blends at this point. Everything from plain Virginia’s to English and everything in between and not one of them has come remotely close to that cigar like experience I’ve been craving, but this does. If you like cigars, save yourself some time and money and just order a bunch of this. The only thing I would say is that if you don’t like perique probably not for you. This does kind of emulate a sort of Nicaraguan cigar kind of experience but it’s light on the pepper not a spice bomb....Read More

Billy Budd Blonde

s Virginia sweet and burley strong. I couldn’t ever really find the Perique - and barely the cigar leaf. It’s more like they magically cancelled each other out, leaving the Virginia sweetness unchecked and the burley as the boiler driving the train.
For a VA, it does have a nice room note , and you get the expected burley induced large cottony smoke. I never quite got impressed with this blend - it’s just “meh”. More bland than blend , if you will.
It smokes a bit hot - pushing it will get you ashes and acrid taste quick.
I noted that I tasted “almost” - as in “almost good”. The sweet side is just too overpowering for the blend when I look at the composition. It’s prettier than it smokes.
To be fair it’s not “bad” - I just think it’s rather boring.
My (modified) rating : 3- this is good (well, Its not bad) - I’d would only buy it on sale Or to get free shipping in an order
This is the 37th of 101 C&D bulk blends I am sampling for this project....Read More

I had known about this blend sooner. The Virginia and perique seem like background players that balance the deep earthy, chocolate, and malty flavors from the burley/cigar combo. This is also an easy blend to pack and smoke if you are new to the pipe and requires no extra drying time before smoking....Read More
