Watch City Cigar The 4th Nun (2016 Christmas Blend)
(3.50)
Sister Mary Ignite-us...the 4th Nun (and patroness of Pipe Tobacco!). A while ago some pipesters online ferreted out the original 3 Nuns Pre-WW2 Recipe. We took this as a challenge. although lacking the equipment necessary to create "Curly Cut" tobacco, this rough ribbon mixture utilizes the exact same ingredients and process as the venerable original. This is a very Danish-esque mixture of Burley, Bright Virginia, Perique and a small amount of what the original recipe calls "Manufactured Perique"- A cavendish processed virginia with Rum and Anise oil.

Watch City Cigar, The 4th Nun (2016 Christmas Blend)... said by WCC to be the recipe-reincarnate of the original Three Nuns - I can't attest to that as I've never had the profound pleasure. My impression is a good one - it's earthy, minimally sweet, w/a prominent grass & hay presence, some spice & mushroom perique sans plum influence, slight at first but progressive floral wood-nut undertone, burns phenomenally well. I detect no toppings, just all natural. Very complex in it's many separately discernible levels of flavor. Gets better as flavor intensifies while the bowl progresses - a gingerly applied tamp is optional, stays dry and finishes in a salt n pepper ash. I'd recommend a deep round bowl for this one if you want a long purely pleasurable creamy smooth billowy smoke.
