BriarWorks - Bacon Old Fashioned 2oz
Strangest mixture of all time, and not in a good way..
Luckily I only got a sample of this blend. Smells like someone farted in a bottle of Jack Daniels and left it to mature for a year. sadly the taste is no better, some sweet liquor, burned plastic, and rotten drains. Smoked in a cob, even the cob thought id crammed a turd in the bowl. Good God save us!
Former - Jubilee - 50th Anniversary 50g
Very tasty Syrian Latakia blend.
I bought a tin as a test to see if I could tell if the Syrian Lat made such a difference. I loaded a bowl, and was treated to a smooth, Smokey and sweet experience. I went to order a few more tins to cellar, as Syrian Latakia is soon to be extinct, sadly its sold out! Waiting for some more to come in, if it ever does I'll definitely order more. This will age superbly.
Balkan Sobranie - Balkan Sobranie 50g
Superb reincarnation
Germain's Balkan Sobranie is a fantastic Balkan mixture. Super smooth, blended perfectly. Latakia plays a front role but is not overwhelming. Highly recommended.
Cornell & Diehl - Jolly Old Saint Nicholas 2oz
Much better than last years
Possibly the best C&D holiday tobacco so far. Slight Orange note, sweet Virginas and Cavendish with a subtle spice finish behind, which is the Perique. Fantastic effort by C&D after loosing most peoples favourite holiday smoke, Christmas Cheer. Get some before its gone!
Esoterica - Penzance 2oz
A magical smoke in the tradition of British tobacco.
Think about a time when tobacco was simple, Virginia, Turkish, Orientals and Latakia. Perfectly proportioned, blended and pressed into easy to crumble (very easy) thick flakes in the traditional British way, slowly and loosely. The taste and aroma of vintage book shops, leather, mild spice, and a smokey comforting finish washes across the palette. J.F Germain's truly are the masters of rare, time consuming and perfect blends. If you can get this for cost, do so immediately here at SP.
