Per Jensen - Legacy Collection: Harbour Dreams 2oz
Old-Timey Goodness
I don't normally write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so for this tobacco. It feels like a blast from the past, and I'm enjoying it very much as Christmas approaches. I was looking for something with more flavor than the Virginias I normally smoke, as the cold air seems to reduce how much flavor I get out of tobacco. I've found in Harbor Dreams exactly what I was craving. The tin-note is incredible; I can't put my finger on it, but it's warm and sweet and comforting. Definitely aromatic, but not at all in a bad way. The tobacco itself is neither too moist nor too dry. You can smoke it immediately or dry it out slightly, but don't dry it out much. Packing and smoking mechanics are perfect. The tin note does come through in the smoke, though subdued; the flavor, and some not unpleasant roughness, of the burley is rounded out by the Virginia. Nicotine is definitely present. If I had to describe this tobacco in three words, they would be "good," "simple," and "honest." Home-run blend in my book—and that's out of a fresh tin; this also has serious aging potential.
