The Country Squire Tobacconist P.S. Blend

The musty, leathery, sweet Cyprian Latakia produces plenty of smoke, earth, wood, some floralness, herbs, vegetation, light incense and spice as the lead component. The creamy, sugary, toasty black cavendish is a supporting player that acts mostly as a flavor carrier. The Virginias provide some tart and tangy citrus, grass, sugar, bread, mild darker fruit, earth, wood, floralness, and light spice in the third slot. The toppings are caramel, vanilla, marshmallow, bourbon, and chocolate. They are the star attractions, and fairly much tone down the tobaccos. The strength and taste are a couple of steps short of the medium threshold. The nic-hit almost reaches the center of mild to medium. There’s no chance of bite or harshness, and barely has a rough edge. The tobacco is mildly moist. Burns cool, clean and slightly slow with a very consistent sweet, smoky, mildly floral, lightly spicy flavor that extends to the short lived, pleasant after taste. The room note is pleasant, too. Leaves some dampness in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. An all day smoke. Three and a half stars.
