Ole Shenandoah Summer Brandy Berry (Appalachian Berry)
(2.86)
The third entry in the Ole Shenandoah series is Appalachian Berry. The blend is predominantly black cavendish made with premium quality Green River burley. A modicum of bright Virginia is added to make the blend easy to keep lit. It has a robust berry flavor added that gives off an amazing room note, but comes through gently on the palate. Ole Shenandoah Appalachian Berry is easily one of the most pleasant aromatic tobaccos we've ever tried!

I had fun tasting all of the Ole Shenandoa blends (easily gotten at pipesandcigars.com). They have great tin art and really nicely put together aromatics with crisp, tobacco taste, yet with aromatic agents that are not too sweet. Lane makes these blends.
I've never had (that I know of) Appalachian Berries before, so, I don't know if this blend is true to form. I do know that it has some fairly stout Burley and a whisper of quality Virginia mixed in for an all day type aromatic smoke that was actually suited for my evening after dinner dessert needs. No calories either!

Berry good indeed! Black Cavendish, Virginia and a shot of Burley make for a good smoke. By far the best smoke in this series for my money. Sweet tin note brings to mind fresh wild black berries, and this carries over in the flavor as well. No bite here for me, just a pleasant fruity smoke. Good room note will garner positive comments even from non smokers of the pipe. The blend is quality tobacco and quality blending. Will grab more of this in my next order.

The Ole Shenandoah line has produced some good quality aromatics, and Appalachian Berry is no exception. Wonderful tin note and room note. Burns well with few relights. The berry casing masks the tobacco, but that is not uncommon with aromatics. I do pick up a little on the Virginia. So many berry blends tend to have an acidic quality, this one does not. A great all day smoke.
