Product: Rivertown Tobacco Works Crimson Shadow Bulk
most reviews are good. Something in here isn't working for me personally. Taste of boiled tabaco, nic is good just taste awful. 1st tobacco out of very many tried from all mix styles that very well might wind up in trash. I have some in a jar I'm to frugal to toss it. Not the $ it just represents weeks of bowl. I bought 2oz. I mostly see it going in trash. I'm thinking it might have been something in the new jars a lingering smell. I washed them once but it either ghosted my pipe or I need to wash jars by hand or again in washer. Try it cause it mostly has good reviews....Read More

This stuff is fantastic on it's own, a must try. But when a little is mixed into pretty much any other base blend, it softens any harshness, burns cooler, and increases burn quality. Perfect for taming other stubborn tobaccos. It's also great for stretching the life of more expensive blends by adding volume without negatively altering flavor. Gets even better with aging as well....Read More

Sidearm

Product: Rivertown Tobacco Works Crimson Shadow Bulk
While C&D Winchester is my everyday favorite, I can confidently say that Crimson Shadow is going to be my trusted sidearm. This blend is magnificent in its simplicity. It has a perfectly balanced semi-sweetness and burns perfectly to the bottom of the bowl. The sweetness lingers on the tongue in the best way long after the bowl is finished. I'll be purchasing this by the pound as soon as it's back in stock. Highly recommended!...Read More
Great tobacco

My rating only relates to the quality of this tobacco, not to its price. Otherwise it could get full 5 stars.
This is one of the very few cheaper bulk options which actually made me willing to order more and may potentially enter my regular rotation. This blend is better than many tinned Virginias
available on market, and for sure above average in its quality and taste.
It can easily become an everyday and even all day smoke for many, thanks to its smooth and calm character and rich flavour.
The strengh and nicotine is medium - 3 stars out of 5, not really 4 stars as shown in the official rating. It is smooth, no rough edges or biting, but good body and enough nicotine to satisfy.
The flavor profile is somewhere in the middle of Virginia scale: there are not much high and bright notes, but also no real dark ones, which to me is the best for smoking on regular basis, though I also like brights quite often.
The main flavor is slightly sweet and very slightly sour bread which tends to a darker bread notes as you progress through a bowl (and it's a welcome development). There are also some hay and nuts, some rasins, wood, light leather and earth, and cocoa notes as well. Overall, it's great real tobacco taste, rich and balanced.
If you like stoved Virginia, or if you haven't tried one, you should give it a go for sure - nothing to lose here with a bulk option.
