Nosferatu
| Brand: |
Tewksbury & Company |
| Tin Description: |
The inspiration for this blend comes from the
haunting legend of Romania’s most notorious figure,
the infamous vampire. And how fitting it is as this
"bloody good" English-style tobacco blend teases
with a slight hint of anise to give it a one-of-a-kind spiciness. Scary how good this pipe tobacco is. |

| Ordered some Hobbit's Weed based on reviews and decided to throw in a bit of Nosferatu. Well the HW has been put into the cellar for all eternity and the Nosferatu has become a favorite blend. The tin note is great as any good English should be but there is something different... Upon charring, this subtle difference becomes a little more apparent. Once lit, Nosferatu burns perfectly and the amazing flavor never leaves. The anise blends perfectly with the Latakia and I would not consider this an aromatic blend. I could see the anise causing ghosting so I have dedicated a meer to this blend. The nic hit is definitely there but not overwhelming. Nosferatu reminds me of sipping absinthe, but no need to mask the flavor with any sugary casing. In fact I like Nosferatu so much I was motivated to sign up here at tobaccoreviews and make my first review. If I could personally send every pipe smoker a sample of this tobacco I would just so I could hear the reactions. Great stuff!

| Call Tewksbury company and order some of this today. This tobacco is simply incredible. I ordered some of this with the Hobbits weed and all i can say is wow. Don't get me wrong the Hobbits weed is very good in its own right but the Nosferatu simply leaves you wanting more. This is absolutely one of my new favorites.

| I am a new pipe smoker, so I have not had a broad range to compare tobaccos to, but this is definitely one of my favourites. I have only tried two of the Tewksbury & Company blends, but I have thoroughly enjoyed them both.
Like the previous reviewer I first tried the hobbits weed, then moved on to the Nosferatu. I find them both to be superb smokes, but they have distinctly different tastes, even to my limited palate. Nosferatu doesn't smoke too hot and has a very interesting, sweet flavour - I was trying to identify what it tasted like to me (I've never really bought into the kind of flavour tasting people talk about with fine wines ect), but to me there were parts of the bowl that tasted a little of fruit, it sounds weird but the closest I can name is probably lychee. Then in other parts I could swear I got a very faint taste of aniseed.
Unfortunately the tewksbury company site has been down for as long as I've known about it, I'd love to know a bit more about whats in this blend so I can see if I'm anywhere near right. Anyhow, they have really friendly customer service on the phone, and I'd highly recommend trying Nosferatu for anyone who likes sweet / pleasant tasting blends.

| I have to say I really don't know much about pipe tobacco, having smoked cheap walgreens Cavendish most of my life. If finally decided to see how good pipe tobacco can be, and have been pleased with what I've found. Consequently, my ratings are probably way off, but I felt it necessary to create an account because this stuff needs a review! I chose Hobbit's Weed and Nosferatu as my intro into good pipe tobacco-- I selected Hobbit's Weed because of its high ratings and popularity. Here is why I am reviewing Nosferatu-- I have come to like it better than Hobbit's Weed. a good deal better, in fact. It is good for an evening/nighttime smoke. Hobbit's Weed I only smoke in the morning or while hiking in the mountains. Nosferatu is just really sweet and aromatic, the anise is very special and I think gives it a more contemplative effect. When I smoke a bowl of Hobbit's Weed, I am usually ready to put down my pipe. When I smoke a bowl of Nosferatu it is very hard to resist the urge to load another bowl and keep smoking, There is something deeply evocative and dreamy about this stuff. I am dying to see what more experienced pipe smokers say about this stuff... I'm really crazy about it!
