even smoke two bowls before I had to put it down for good.
I genuinely love the concept of these bulk blends coming out, but this one needs to be taken back to the drawing board....Read More

Rivertown’s Oak and Ember

cy, delivering tantalizing bulk blends at a dependable price point.
A timeless tribute to the hearty richness of Burley, Oak & Ember is a robust blend that delivers both depth and balance. The earthy, nutty flavors of Burley shine through, providing a steady, uncomplicated smoke that's perfect for those who appreciate a classic tobacco profile.”
Oak and Ember is a mildly cased Burley-forward blend. The Burley is not rough but rather mild and pleasant. A nutty, woodsy taste and scent. Slight spice. A mild sourness that would be expected of Burley not put into any process (like Cavendish). A nicotine hit in the mild plus range.
After a confirmation with Laudisi, the blend has Dark Burley (stronger in taste than White Burley) in the driver’s seat and Red Virginias (more dark fruit) in the passenger seat. There is decent balance, a pleasant retrohale, and the sense you are smoking pure tobacco without a lot of processing. Casing but no topping.
If one is a home blender, and envisioned a blend that contained Dark Burley and Red Virginias, Oak and Ember would be a good start to a newer and perhaps more sophisticated blend end product. Adding a bit of Perique perhaps, or some dark-fired Kentucky, or an Oriental or two ….
I like this a whole lot more than Haunted Bookshop or Old Joe Krantz because it is relatively smoother and more pleasant. On my palate this blend rates 3.0 out of 4 stars on TR and 4 out of 5 stars here....Read More

This is a hearty blend that is very forgiving. A wonderful combination of straight tobaccos forming a very earthy tobacco experience with a bit of sweetness in the background.

Nice contemplative smoke

;
You rush and you'll only get ashy flavors, so for me is not an all day smoke but one to get along with a dark coffee and a good reading
Also I'd rate the strength with 4 instead of 5 dots since after half bowl the nic-hit comes up even from a very slow cadence...Read More
