Hearth & Home Porch Swing
(3.50)
Three different types of Burley ( a mellow white, flavorful toasted, and a rich, reddish-hued version ) are blended with a bit of sweet Virginia and a touch of Latakia for smokiness and Perique for a hint of sweet spice. It's finally finished with a bit of rum to bring back memories of the blends that gramps and the other codgers used to smoke.
Notes: Signature Porch Swing is a unique blend that will bring back memories of old-fashioned American blends. Introduced in 2015.

A nice change of pace blend for me. I'm not huge on Burley blends but this one was more satisfying. The Perique and Latakia stand out, which I enjoyed. Other than the spiciness of the Perique, I've found this blend on the mild side. While it did burn hot, I did not experience any tongue bite.

This superb bulk blend, mostly burley, is complemented with a little virginia, latakia and perique. It is a pleasure to smoke and indeed reminds me of blends I purchased from tobacconists in the '60s. The tobaccos used are high quality. There is lots of rubbed out burley flake, which produces a cool smoking delight. The rum is lightly applied, but adds a subtle sweetness, which I enjoy. The latakia is far in the background along with the perique. This blend is a treasure for those who enjoy codger blends, but appreciate the extra quality this blend provides. Thank you Russ.
