Jon's Pipe Shop Stonehenge

This stuff is pretty good, I'd give it 3.5 stars. I usually smoke dark Virginias and full flavored VaPers, Stonehenge is a good change of pace when I want something milder. The flavor reminds me a lot of black tea, something like Earl Grey or Irish Breakfast--a slightly bitter, herbal character. It usually sweetens up a bit halfway through the bowl. The flavoring and sweetness are subtle enough as not to overpower the natural tobacco flavor of the African Virginias, which I assume are responsible for the tea-like, flavor. This is a delicate, subtle kind of blend and is also pretty distinct, I haven't had anything very much like it to compare it with.

I have very mixed feelings about Stonehenge. Sometimes I love it, and blow through several bowls in a row. At other times, I regret choosing it through the entire smoke. I've decided that it depends on my palat at the time. I can't stand it on a clean palat, but after eating a hearty steak dinner, it's perfect. Zero tongue bite though.
