Is it possible that the good folks at C&D forgot to add Perique to my tin of Comfort? I did taste the Burley and perhaps a little Virginia. The darkly stoved Cavendish provided some meat to this blend in an unobtrusive sort of way.
The cut varies from cubed to ribbon and is at a perfect humidity level. The burn is also even and the combination was kind to my tongue.
Comfort is no bell ringer, but isn't trash can filler either.
Oh, and good luck finding the Perique in this one.

No, Pipestud, you are not hallucinating-there is little perique here. I found it pleasant but unengaging. I don't know if more perique would have helped or hurt, to tell you the truth. I am never totally disappointed with a C&D blend, but this is not one I'd try again.

I enjoy unflavored tobaccos. A Cavendish can work for me such as Dunhill 965, but basically if it is flavored I prefer to pass on it. I was given a free tin of Comfort so what the heck, I smoked the entire tin. I did not pitch it the way I would usually dispose of such a Cavendish. The taste was medium tobacco flavor. Yes,medium is the best way I can describe the taste. High notes are of course blocked out by the flavoring, but the flavoring is controled to the degree that you still taste tobacco. The overall flavor is not dominated by the perique just as the description by C+D says. That's unfortunate because I would prefer that it would be since perique is beautiful, but each to his own. No, the overall effect is that of burley. Good burley, easy to smoke all day if you want to. Nicotine is not a problem so no dizzy head or stomach the way some of the C+D burleys can be. If you like a smooth Cavendish blend this tobacco will probably please you. Recommended for its type, but not for those who like the pure taste of tobacco.

The piquant bitterness of the cubed Burley is the dominant flavour note here. One either likes it or one doesn't. I don't much taste the Virginia one way or another, and I certainly don't taste the unstinting Périque at all!
The blend looks and smells wonderful in the tin, and I couldn't call it hateful?I imagine it might be quite popular with the absinthe...er, Burley-loving crowd out there. It is a clean, honest flavour. But I just don't care for it.
