(3.50)
With a whimsical name like Fiddlesticks, you might think that this would be a playful aromatic blend...but you'd be wrong. Russ' Monthly Blend - Fiddlesticks is a blend for the real Latakia fancier. Made with a significant amount of Cyprian Latakia, bright, and matured red Virginias with a fair helping of Perique to add sweetness, spice and body, this is a comtemplative blend for those times when you're looking to unwind, relax, and lose yourself in the moment. Give Fiddlesticks a try. You might not take the name seriously, but there's some serious flavor here.

A blend searching for an identity. A blend for the Latakia lover.....I don't think so. The tin note has a small amount of that smoky aroma but only a small amount. The Virginias really jump out more than anything else. The blend is very nice and dry and light up was very easy. Burns pretty fast but very cool. I would argue the perique really rules the roost here as far as taste goes. The blend is spicy and this goes on throughout the smoke. I do get some tangy sweetness from time to time from the Virginias but very small amount. The Latakia?? Went on vacation as far as I am concerned. I never got that sweet smoky flavor through the entire smoke. Just don't really get this blend as a Latakia lovers blend. It is an average blend for me at best. I would call this a first rate three star smoke.
