Five choice Imported and domestic tobaccos – Turkish, Perique, White Burley, Carolina and Virginia Brights. Slowly – aged pipe mixture. Cool burning, very mild and refreshing, pleasing aromatic. Women love the aroma.
I have been absorbed lately in all that is burley and Prince Albert has been a mainstay as I have mowed through (2) 14oz tubs since mid November.
I have been very happy with what some would call OTC Codger burleys and I wanted to try something new. The local B&M had various tubs of the old school OTC tobacco and once I picked up a tub of Kentucky Club Mixture and read the tobacco’s that made up this perennial mixture, I must say I was intrigued.
I double checked the reviews on www.tobaccoreviews.com and due to the favorable reviews, I added a tub to my collection.
I opened the tub and the note was quite fresh and pleasant with an almost rum overtone. The tobacco was a combination or cube, ribbon and shag cuts mixed nicely into a not too moist blend.
I loaded a bowl into a handmade cherrywood bent dublin and applied flame. It lit quite easily and the first impression was that it was a cool smoke, great room note, stayed lit (I didn’t have to relight once the whole bowl!) and it created a fine whitish gray ash at the bottom of the bowl with very little dottle and no goopy residue as I expected as it is listed as an aromatic.
This tobacco is blended so well together that none of the tobaccos take center stage, rather a very nice ‘mixture’ that leaves the slightest perique sting in your mouth.
A very nice smoke that will give me a nice option should Prince Albert or Rum and Maple ever need a break.
