Product Number: 005-001-0026

This is a combination of dark-fired whole leaf Virginias and mid-rib fine cut Kentucky leaf rolled and sliced to make 'bird's eyes'. This fine shag cut was preferred by fisherman and sailors because it was very easy to pack and light.

Just a great smoke

I enjoy this tobacco on a level that I can't put into words. I have a top five, and this one has found itself at number two on my list. I love everything about it, from the shag cut to the sweet, smoky flavoring of the tobacco. It is satisfying and tangy throughout. I recommend this to anyone who knows how to keep a proper cadence when smoking a pipe....Read More

If this didn’t have the Lakeland essence it would be 5 star as is it’s just a great tobacco and not on another level

Dark Bird's Eye is divine, perfect, archetypal. All tobacco is technically American but those Brits sure do it well. They do it better than we do over here across the pond in the shallow end. Just a little embarrassing, that we invent tobacco smoking but they take it from us and do it better. They've perfected it. All of my very favorite blends are from England....Read More

Seriously strong. Decent flavor but nothing to write home about. Due to its strength I'll probably use it as a blending tobacco to add body and nicotine to some of my favorite OTC.
great blend

I find this blend to be very rich and smooth with great darker flavor and a slight lingering semi sweet taste. Lights well, the thin cut can burn a bit hot if packed too tight. no bite but plenty of nice pepper on the nose toward the end of a bowl. Strong in flavor with a power level near medium. I think this is a good traditional blend worth sampling for its details. Recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers with an adventurous spirit looking to experience more from a blend....Read More

Package note of barbeque, wood smoke and musty vegetation. Tobacco is a shag cut of dark brown, brown and a tiny amount of light brown. Moisture content is great. Few pipe smokers will want to dry it a bit. Burns fast with few relights. The strength is strong and nic is medium to strong. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of smoky oak barbecue, very spicy, fermented sour, musty vegetation, dry, herbal, toast, leathery, bitter, nutty, woody, earthy, mild citrus, mildly floral, a mildly sweet and savory background note, and a peppery retro. Kentucky is leading with Virginias supporting. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is great....Read More
Too strong

Honestly, it is NOT a good pipe tobacco for rookie. It's too strong for me, and will feel drunk and tired after somke. Please be careful if you are a light pipe tobaccos-smoker.

Incredible tobacco. A rich and full bodied smoke with a light touch of spice. Savory and smokey with a nice nic hit. My first time trying this as a newer pipe smoker having smoked nothing but English blends thus far. This was a welcome departure and a blend that will now be a permanent fixture in my rotation and cellar....Read More

My first 2 thoughts: 1)flavour and quality is rare. Wonderful sweet raisin, caramel, deep smokiness, rich earthiness, hints of florals(but not Lakeland). I feel like this is something of quality we just don't have much of amymore. As the tobacco industry is slowly being choked out by all the agendas in our world... I've stumbled upon a gem. 2) not to be triffed with on the nicotine levels. I smoked this in THE smallest bowl I have and only got 3/4 through before I had to put it down. I knew 1 more puff and my head was gonna start spinning. It's one to be respected. Granted I can handle moderate(not heavy) levels of nicotine at this point. So, more experienced smokers may handle it better. And some may consider this a detractor. But, for me the quality of this tabac is so so worth it. HIGHLY recommended. Gentle slow smokes for anyone with this....Read More
