Low Country: Atalaya 2oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-384-0010

Named and blended for Smokingpipes' brick-and-mortar store Low Country Pipe and Cigar in Little River, South Carolina, Low Country pipe tobaccos are all crafted by Cornell & Diehl — also located in South Carolina. They're blended to be classic, easy-smoking mixtures, honoring South Carolina's historic Lowcountry and named for some of the region's iconic rivers. As a limited-edition blend, Atalaya deviates from the riverway motif, but still maintains its Lowcountry theme, having been named for the historic Atalaya castle.

A cultured Virginia/Perique mixture that marries the familiar with the exotic, Low Country's Atalaya is a unique, ready-rubbed blend that combines Red and Bright Virginias from 2019 with C&D's proprietary Red Virginia Cavendish for a rich, flue-cured foundation. A generous portion of genuine Perique from 31 Farms in St. James Parish, LA, contributes piquant spice and dark-fruit richness supported by aged Izmir and Basma sun-cured leaf. Atalaya is pressed to expertly marry its flavors, then sliced and tumbled for easy packing and enjoyment. A deep and flavorful, medium-to-full-bodied blend, Atalaya is excellent right out of the tin while commanding sensational aging properties. Only 5,000 2oz tins were produced.

Finished my first two tins. I can see why they named it Atalaya, meaning "watch tower," in Spanish... which is fitting. This blend does have a very traditional, antique South Carolina spirit, which I absolutely love. It smokes like an unexpected and delightfully welcomed old friend. This blend is truly exquisite and one for the record books. This is one of those blends that will be talked about by collectors and probably resold years from now for ridiculous second hand prices. I didn't give it five stars, only because I reserve that ranking for the truly rare and perfect blends. Which as far as complex Virgina's go, this is definitely up there with the better of the them. I'm just not at 5 stars... yet. Aging may be a whole different story. Actually, in fact I think throwing this in the cellar for a few years would easily make this a five star. Even launch it into a legendary status. My overall opinion; it's got a very earthy tin note, it's pleasant, the balance of aged Virginias, orientals and St. James Parish Perique are exactly right and I mean to the exact pinch. This is a very high quality smoke. During the sorting of the tin, I found nothing to throw out. You can tell by the quality of the leaves in this blend, it must have been a labor of love for Jeremy Reeves. I'm sure he's very proud of this blend. I have no doubt it will sell out within the first week. It's obvious, someone spent a lot of time, perfecting the smallest details and choosing the highest quality leaves. This recipe is addiction worthy. The tin notes; not a lot of swampiness to it, there's more of an earthiness, grain and cornmeal there. You can smell the spices, which are noticeably strong but not overpowering. The initial take away is that it's light and smooth with a touch of spice. Until the aftertaste hits you which seemed stronger than the inhale and the spices seem to get stronger the farther down the bowl you get. There's strong notes of different citruses, florals, a slight bit of sweetness but it's light and welcoming. All blended together, it makes a very complex, meaty and delicious all day smoke. It's one of the more interesting and contemplative smoking experiences. If you enjoy orientals, complex Virginias and appreciate the St. James Parish Perique. You are going to love it!...Read More

Solid, no nonsense VA/per

Product: Low Country Atalaya 2oz
This is a very good blend. I would definitely say this is closer to full bodied. It’s a robust, but not over the top blend. The perique is nice and peppery, the orientals throw in a little tongue tingle, but I do struggle to detect any real flavor from it? The VA’s are quality though. They smell bready, and hay/grassy aromas but I found it to be naturally sweet, and rich. French and retro hale I can pick up raisin-y notes. It is fair to say that I really enjoy this blend. It’s not my favorite, but it is a solid blend that I will enjoy thoroughly.

4/18/23 - update -not even a year old, and this stuff is aging wonderfully. I had my jar sealed since my initial bowl, and either forgot how damn good this really is, or it is progressing nicely in the age department.... So damn good! id take a pound of this over Folklore ANY day

I like what Salty Briar said about the blend being “meaty and delicious”. This is a true American-style Virginia Perique with some Orientals thrown in to keep you puffing and appreciating and wondering how and why there are so many tobacco snobs out there.

I love this stuff. I have a thing for tangy savory spicy complexity and this one hits all the marks. It gets even better with a few months of age. I wish I could buy it in bulk.

The strength and taste levels are in the center of medium to full. This gourmet blend is aptly named after a modern castle in South Carolina, as this blend is fit for a king. A broken flake that's easily manageable.
Excellent

Very pleased that Atalaya is back for another release. This is a fabulous blend with a perfect balance of component tobaccos. And the perique is wonderful.
