About This Pipe Tobacco

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.

An Old Friend For Rainy Days

Product: Low Country Atalaya 2oz
As a Spanish Teacher by trade, it is very difficult to be unbiased in my review. This blend is what I want in a mainly Virginia oriental blend. Bready but the oriental leaf balances it out with the perique to make this blend just have a creature comfort flavor profile. I almost always smoke this blend when it is raining. Fantastic!...Read More
The new white whale of the tobacco world!!!

Product: Low Country Atalaya 2oz
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

Best of Low Country

A comforting smoke and the best of the Low Country lineup, hopefully this is a yearly limited edition run. Complex, deep, peppery, spicey, bready, and drowning in stewed fruit. Terrific stuff.
Good smoke

Atalaya is a great blend and an even better smoke. The ratio of each tobacco in my opinion is spot on. I reach for this more often than not. If you’ve been thinking about trying it, do yourself a favor and get a tin.
