Even though I I understand this is a new mixture, I could easily see my grandfather's even the great great ones smoking this. When I smoke this I'm home like the ancestral home. This is my everyday all the time tobacco.

Woody and Incensy in Vibe | Introspective

ent might be up my alley and worth checking out.
Right out the box, this has a very smoky scent. I’m a very new pipe smoker so I’m not super knowledgeable but I assume that’s the Latakia based on what I’ve read. It was almost like a campfire kinda smell. I heard shaking the tobacco up in a jar allowed a different set of scents to come out and after I tried it I can confirm it’s true. After shaking it, the campfire smell dissipates a little bit and lets forth a mysterious background scent. Someone described it as evergreen-like but I think it was herbal, floral, maybe even very slightly sweet/fruity but not in a conventional way. It was almost like the scent of a flower in some bushes—delicate but woodsy as well.
When smoked a lot of that smoky smell didn’t come through which surprised me. In fact, this gave me a rather strong woody smell. It was like roasted wood with a faint spice. The flavor was rather full bodied and reflected the room note. Very pleasant but not something I’d recommend for people that don’t like such smells.
Someone had said this reminded them of a monastery; I don’t quite agree, but I get where that vibe comes from. To me it’s a very contemplative blend. It beckons introspection, hence why some people might say it’s their “bad weather smoke”.
I wouldn’t leave it for bad weather only. I’d definitely use this even on sunny days, but only when I think I require a moment of genuine reflection and pondering.
Overall, pretty solid! Recommend it if u like incense or want something that inspires deeper thoughts and/or could be used for your daily rituals :)...Read More

Best Balkan tobacco I have smoked.

I have smoked many Balkan mixtures in the past.
This is the very smoothest so far, room note is pleasing
All day smoke. Try this for a pleasant aroma and easy to keep lit.

Bold, harsh and smooth. Furiously gorgeous.

and smoked. Why did it take me so long to find out? Who knows? At least I did now and I can guarantee you I'll be buying tons of this as long as there is still breath in my dying, aging body. I have never had a Latakia blend that I didn't at least like. Except for Star of the East flake, I'm not sure why. But that's neither here nor there. This however, is unbelievably gorgeous, perfect and pure. Just phenomenal quality leaf here, as is always the case with my beloved Gawith Hoggarth blends. It's sharp, sweet and smooth. The harshness only comes in from smoking hard of course, but even then there's no tongue bite. Just furious, beautiful and gorgeous tobacco. I love you GH....Read More
