About This Pipe Tobacco
For Red Odessa, the folks at C&D combine Red Virginias, Turkish, Latakia, and Perique to form a superior English blend of medium body and superior balance. This is a fine all-day smoke.

negar tannginess to it, which is to be expected.
Of course it was sampled in a Missouri Meerschaum Missouri Pride, corn cob pipe.
OK. Seems like we were just talking about Odessa and that’s because we were. Odessa and Red Odessa both are rated in 4.2 on smoking pipes and simply reviewing them based on what they were rated and then in alphabetical order of the subset.
I’m going to make the assumption (which is 100% my fault if incorrect) that the blends are an identical percentage and the only difference is simply that Burley in Odessa, Virginia in Red Odessa.
Stating in the most general terms as someone who likes English and bulking blends, I like both of them, but I believe I prefer the red Odessa. I like whatever magic takes place with the Red Virginia and the Oriental better than I like the Burley underpinning of the other blend, however , that does not lower the score of Odessa and I’m not really going to increase the score of Red Odessa.
I believe they’re both good blends. They’re just different. Literally a great example of a set of fraternal twins. Same DNA , same genesis, just slightly different in appearance and personality.
If anything, I think the Virginia helps the Latakia here to be a little more prominent. I think the brighter note helps bring out the smoky and leather qualities because I get more of the iodine characteristic that I enjoy from this man that I got from the other. It does produce a very thin and transparent smoke and it’s got a solid bulking blend presence to it in the room.
Just like It’s brother, Red Odessa is very smooth. It’s just a tick above medium on my internal strength scale both in flavor and nicotine and what I really like is there’s just a nice warm spiciness to the creek peppering over the top of the Turkish and Virginia’s own sweet and spicy combination and I think it’s really good. I will probably buy this one a little more than I buy the original but Just like Odessa I can see both being in my cellar moving forward.
My rating : 4

e taste of Virginia in this blend. Smoky Latakia present throughout but never too much in front. It never diminishes or overcomes taste of other components. Perique is more of condiment here IMHO. At very least I couldn’t really taste it.
Blend is well balanced and not spicy at all. It is not pipe dependent. Tasted pretty much the same in briar or meerschaum regardless of pipe shape.
I really have enjoyed smoking this blend and definitely will order it again....Read More
