While I may indeed be prejudiced in regard to this tobacco, it is a keeper. It is a blend in which produces a very subtle balance of all the players involved. Looking at this blend in the bag, the colors are very aesthetically pleasing; there are blondes, browns, reds, and shades of black - all vying for attention. If only it will smoke as good as it looks.
This is a rough cut blend and packs nicely. It takes to a match well, and after tamping the slight rise... well, OK, one more match to get it burning evenly.
Ahh, sit back and relax. This is a blend that is for those contemplative moods. I have smoked it all day, as it isn't overpowering, but there are mild innuendos that are missed.
While Virginias are the major factor in this blend, the other tobaccos make their presence known. There is an overarching sweetness, subtly highlighted by a slight smoky and nutty characteristic. The orientals give it that little bit extra.
There is a story behind the creation of this blend. I knew what tobaccos I liked and wanted to try to put something together that placed those desires in harmony and proper proportions. As a pastor, I had seen many tobacco blends with names that said numerous things. Therefore, the name Orthodoxy has special meaning - it reflects history, reverence, devotion and tradition. Orthodoxy, in Christian religious circles, is thought of as that which conforms to the historic practice and teaching of the church, having its origins in the early creeds, confessions and rites of the church.
As such, this is a blend which was to reflect that mood. A blend for those contemplative times. A blend which causes one to stop and reflect on something more than the mundane activities of life. I love my rock & roll, fishing, golf, wrestling with my boys, and playing in the garden. This is the blend for when you want to stop and cogitate: Bach/Hayden/Mozart etc. are in the background; Dickens, Shakespeare, Chesterton, Dostoevsky, etc. are in your hand. (OK, so it goes well sitting around the campfire while you help the boys make s'mores, too!)
Personally, I think it does both quite well, but we all need that contemplative blend every once in a while. Agreed?
