Excellent tobacco for the seasoned smoker
This stuff is strong. Not recommended for the new pipe smoker. It'll kick your butt if you aren't careful. Myself, I love strong tobaccos as long as they have the flavor and body to back that strength up. This tobacco is one of the finest examples of a strong and flavorful blend. Not a fan of the lakeland essence at all. However, it isn't really a hinderance here. It is only barely noticeable in brief afterthoughts. Any more would be too much but this is about right. It's much less than my last batch of Happy Brown Bogie. This is highly recommended for anyone looking for a Nic-rich blend that doesn't taste like a bucket of tar. And even if you like buckets of tar, I would still recommend this blend. Trust me, it's much better than I can describe. I need to order more next time it is available. My stash is under a pound now and that makes me uncomfortable.

A New Favorite
I would like to see this available in 8 ounce tins. I was skeptical of this blend because of the shag cut. However, once I learned how to adjust my smoking technique to work with the cut, I found this smoke to be very sweet and delicious. It tastes sweeter than many aromatics to me. Not a sugar topping sweet, but a natural tobacco sweetness. I'm finding myself reaching for this blend over all others. It's simply amazing how a pipe tobacco can have this much natural tobacco sweetness and not have even a hint of bite. As usual, Pease has worked his magic again.
