Tewksbury & Company Hobbit's Weed
(3.43)
This is a full-flavored blend with fire-cured Cavendish added for mellowing the robust king of Burley tobaccos. Then we added mild Cherry flavoring and a dash of Vanilla for a semi-sweet, pleasant, slow burning smoke. Our #1 selling blend.

After visiting the Tewksbury store in Denver, CO, I picked up some Hobbit's Weed, Maraschino Cherry, Custard's Last Stand, and Hot Buttered Rum. I believe the pre-weighed bags between the Maraschino Cherry and Hobbit's Weed had the wrong label's on them on my first batch, as at first I was overwhelmed by cherry, where the maraschino was a smoother better blend. The second order of Hobbit's Weed was indeed more to my liking and more subtle on the cherry (its still in there though). I intend to age some of this for a while, but keep some in the rotation as it is very good as it is. Overal a very decent aromatic, but I tend to smoke the Hot Buttered Rum a little more, and people RAVE about the Hot Buttered Rum room note...Hobbit's weed has gotten a few good comments as well.

This is indeed a very pleasant aromatic from a very cool little shop. I used to stop in at Tewksbury & Company on occasion when I was doing some work in Denver. The shop is right downtown on Writer's Square and provides the odd commercial trinity of fly-fishing gear, Colorado wine, and tobacco.
Even though this is a pretty decent aromatic, it is also ultimately a store blend of other aromatics. Tewksbury & Company has a limited selection of tobaccos—and what they do have is dominated by Altadis bulks. The last time I was there they had a single tin—a lonely round of Irish Oak ordered for some local who had mysteriously disappeared. Hobbit's Weed, I'm told, is one of a handful they blend themselves from available resources.
Hobbit's Weed is a mild, cherry-vanilla scented aromatic with a Black Cavendish base, supported by Golden Cavendish and perhaps a little unflavored Burley. It is a little sticky to the touch, but with proper drying, the humectants don't seem to affect the smoke too much. It's really a pleasant smoke and those who already like tobaccos in the Cherry Cavendish family might enjoy this a whole bunch. I smoke it only rarely and in certain moods, but I have to say that it is always appealing. A regular or all-day aromatic smoker could do far worse than this tasty stuff.
Both the shop and the Weed are well worth visiting if you find yourself in Denver.
