War Horse War Horse Green
(3.00)
From P&C's web site: War Horse Green uses the same base tobaccos as War Horse Bar, but with a unique and decidedly more aromatic top note than the original. There are notes here similar to a number of European tobaccos, but made here in the US. Give this singular take on Euro-style blends a try. We think you'll be back time and again.

First of all, this is not a plug at all, which is made with whole stripped leaves layered and compressed. This is a crumble cake, which is made of cut tobacco that is compressed. In this case, unlike a plug, the cake falls apart easily and can be rubbed out basically to dust with your fingers.
I'm a big fan of lakelands, specifically GH&Co's scented flakes. I also love 1792 flake, and like Condor. This is nothing like any of those. The flavor and scent here tastes and smells like cleaning chemicals to me. In the tin this smells like Juicy Fruit gum, and when smoking -- especially early in the bowl -- the chemical taste kind of ruins the experience, it reminds me of chlorine. Like when you accidentally get pool water up your nose or in your mouth. Sweet chlorine, but chlorine nonetheless.
All that said, it smokes very well and the actual tobacco components have a nice body and flavor. Maybe whatever is in the topping on this one just doesn't agree with my palette for some reason as it seems well regarded by other reviewers, but for me this was a disappointment.
1.5/4 stars

This shouldn't be considered an aromatic. Very strong tobacco taste. Stronge nicotine component. Tried it when I Recieved it, didn't care for it and set it aside. Tried again after 2 years of aging, didn't notice a change.
Pipe Used:
Cob with filter
PurchasedFrom:

Age When Smoked:
New, also after 2 years

When I opened a tin of the WHG, I could not help being reminded of the Backwoods cigars. Not only in the tin note and especially in the taste, but also in the room note. I have experienced the same when I tried the WHB a few years back. It reminded me of the Honey Berry variety. Because of the nature of the heavy casing and one that didn't agree with my taste buds it was difficult for me to appreciate the level of quality of the leaf itself. To add to it, the taste becomes fairly harsh past the mid point and gets worse as I work my way down. This tobacco left a very unpleasant aftertaste that lingered on for too long. As for the room note, well, it left one that reminded me of the Backwoods cigars, of course. And it ghosted my pipe which smelled of...I think you get the point. I cannot help feeling cheated out on by buying a pipe tobacco that is supposed to be a resurrection of a legend that used to be made with quality leaf but turned out to now be made with what seems to be low grade tobacco leaves and 'cheap' casing procedures. I am extremely disappointed by the mighty horse.
