Low Country Pipe & Cigar Atalaya
(3.88)
Like its namesake, Low Country estate, Atalaya is a resplendent mélange of the familiar and the exotic, combining dark Virginias, bold St. James perique, and peppery Orientals for a medium-bodied smoke with notes of savory herbs and subtle spice pirouetting in cadence with each puff.

Low County Pipe & Cigar - Atalaya.
A broken flake that's easily manageable. Meaning, it doesn't need further rubbing, etc, just load and light. The moisture of the chunky ''ribbons'' is good to smoke, so on we go!
Although this contains Perique, it isn't over-the-top. Yup, the Perique leads, but isn't too much. It's vinegar-like, sharp, but the other varietals diminish its alacrity. The Oriental leaf gives a formidable floral note, is very present throughout the bowl, but not in the lead. Virginia? Takes more of a curious tongue to seek out. The Va comes through a little more after half a bowl, but only ever acts as a platform for the others.
Nicotine: medium. Room-note: unoffensive.
Atalaya? A good blend, not ''great''. Three stars:
Recommended.
