Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - Twilight Mixture
Underrated?
I chose to smoke this blend in my Savinelli 122 due to the tobacco blend and the dimensions of the pipe, shallow and wide. Choosing a wider chamber I felt I would have a better chance of experiencing a well rounded smoke by allowing all three of the leaves to burn as evenly as possible. I'm pleased I did. As I smoked the tobacco, allowing the tobacco to open up, the complexity of the flavors began to present themselves. The forward flavor of the matured Virginias presented the essence of lemon zest, reminiscent of the citrus flavor of C&D's Sansapolcro. The perique added mild fruity notes, as well as, body with a strong presence of peppercorn. In my opinion, Erik Stokkebye made the wise decision of adding Turkish leaf to compliment and round out the citrus flavors of the Virginias. I really enjoy this blend. And, although I purchased it in the fall, I think I'll put it away until early summer when I can enjoy it on my patio with a Lemon Shandy.
