Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead
(3.50)
Pure Virginia Plug, 10 year old aged & rare Orange and Red Virginias.
In Colonial days, Virginia was the source for finest tobaccos. Traditionally shipped in giant barrels called ‘hogsheads’, farmers packed their precious leaf. Our Hogshead is a blend of very old Virginias cultivated in Africa, Brazil and the United States. Pressed into an easy to use plug, Hogshead harkens back to the heritage of the greatest Virginia tobaccos. This epic blend just might be the perfect Virginia. Enjoy Joe Lankford’s Signature Series of exquisite Virginia blends.

This was a disappointment. It smells great and looks great But beyond the first few puffs the flavor disappears. On a bigger bowl it returns in the end as an acrid bitter note. I’ve smoked it a few times in a different bowls to see if I could get what others are getting but… nope.

Everyone’s tastes are different but I can’t help but feel angst when I hear about people getting all these wonderful flavors out of this one. Smells heavenly but that’s where it ends for me sadly. I detected a nearly aromatic level of casing on this one and that spicy mouthfeel is all I got. I’ve loved nearly any Virginia blend and straight virgina (as long as there isn’t any black cavendish) but this one was very disappointing to me. I just revisited the first tin I bought upon release and some of that spicy mouthfeel has gone away and just a tiny bit of grassy/bread flavoring is detectable to me. I always save a blend even if I’m not impressed with and give it some time. But at this price point I can’t justify buying this again in hopes that (to me) it will be tolerable one day.
