Rivertown Tobacco Works - Sunset Velvet
Jury still out
Smoked my first bowl of Sunset Velvet and the jury is still out. Like most Rivertown blends, the tobacco smokes smoothly and cleanly. Unlike other reviews I've read, I didn't experience a strong taste of sweetness in the blend. It smoked a little dry, but with no bite. Smoked in a meerschaum bowl so didn't experience any ghosting. Will have to update this review after a few more bowls in briar. A good smoke, but not great.
HU - Night Owl 100g
Strong Taste Relaxing Smoke
I generally smoke mild tobaccos, but wanted to try something with a stronger taste. Night Owl fit the bill perfectly. Little to no bite, depending on what pipe I'm using, but delivers strong flavor and room note. It's a pleasant change of pace from my mostly mild tobaccos. The pipe does seem to make a difference. First bowl was in a filtered Savinelle Miele 316K. Very pleasant and favorable. Next bowl was an unfiltered Meerschaum. Still very pleasant, strong flavor and little bite. Third bowl was an unfiltered Peterson Sherlock Holmes. Night Owl burned a little hotter and with a bit more bite. While I won't be smoking this every day, I will definitely enjoy the occassional change of pace. Very good tobacco!
Rivertown Tobacco Works - Dark 70%
Too much nicotine hit for my taste
Dark 70% is an enjoyable smoke that is smooth burning with good flavor and room note. little is any bite. Would recommend this if you are ok with a higher nicotine content. Not for me.
Rivertown Tobacco Works - Sir Vanderberry
Mild and Cool
Light and slow burning. No bite. Enjoyable smoke. I like to relax on the front porch with this mild, cool burning tobacco. Not much flavor overall, but with a good room note. Also, little is any nicotine hit.
