Watch City Cigar Terrapin Station
(3.57)
Notes: Deep Elem was our very first blend. Sadly, Deep Elem was discontinued due to the closing of McClelland and the loss of their #805 Cavendish which was a unique and integral ingredient.
Terrapin Station pays homage to Deep Elem. While we could not match the fine cut of McClelland 805 nor the subtle sweet top note, by combining various grades and colors of cavendish we have come very close. Of course the proportions and the condimentals remain the same. Terrapin Station is a worthy homage to "Deep Elem", and an outstanding mild English blend in its own right. A bed of natural and lightly sweet cavendish is spiced generously with Latakia and just a bit of bright Virginia for a cool, mild flavorful and slightly sweet English blend...with a nod to Grateful Dead fans!

A tasty, smoky sweet blend. Imagine eating a sweet Hawaiian roll with butter and honey, while catching a whiff from a Weber grill. Well behaved with no bite. If you like crossovers, this is a must try. Burns well with a bit of dry time and leaves a little moisture In the heel.

Excellent. Great English but not overpowering in Latakia. Smokey, a little sweet, and ready to pack right out of the bag.
Would love to see this in a 'Krumble Flake' though too!...

Package note of sweet smoky and sour vegetation. Tobacco is a mix cut of black, dark brown, brown and a little light brown. Moisture content is 0k, most pipe smokers will want to dry it a bit. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is listed as Sweet/Sugar, but I couldn't detect a topping. Taste is mild to medium and consistent, with notes of floral, tangy smoke, mild fermented sour, spices, orange zest, wood, peaty vegetation, sugar, herbal incense, toast, tart citrus, savory, mildly spicy, mildly sweet, a nutty lemon grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Cavendish is leading with Latakia, Virginia and Burley supporting. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

Perfect for what it is, a mild and sweet English/Scottish. (Some define an english with cavendish added as a scottish blend; the terminology is generally up for interpretation anyhow) Sugar water and drop of honey with a dried bbq sauce smokiness. Not campfire smoke. Very pleasant. Disagree on the vanilla, if it's there, not enough to define it.
