Watch City Cigar Old North Church
(3.50)
An old venerable blend preferred by Bostonians for years is here recreated from a jar of the original purchased in the early 90's. Many different grades of rough, pebble and Crumb Cut Burley are cased with molasses and extracts of plum and blended with just enough latakia to cool the blend and give just a hint of smokiness. This is an all day comfort smoke and a true old time codger Burley!

Absolutely delicious old school codger style burley blend. Cool burning and mild though rich in flavor. It's the curse of my love of pipe smoking that I prefer burley but do not love heavy nicotine and here I have found deep burley goodness with a mild nic hit. Ernie Q is a master(genius) of these burley blends and this one is exceptional even among all of the other great Watch City blends.

Old timey? Maybe in some sense (there used to be more blends of this ilk). Codgery? No. Rich and easy going, the topping is present but not cloying. Pipe tobacco. Burley, some latakia, some sweetness. This is very pleasant.
