Tewksbury & Company Hobbit's Weed

First off, Tewksbury & Company is one of the finest stores I have been in. Where else can you go to buy the finest pipe tobacco and cigars, and at the same time have a full selection of Colorado wines and fly fishing supplies? This is the store for the finer things in life!!!

I purchased this blend as it was the store #1 selling blend, sampling it in the store it proved to be a vary enjoyable blend, but I chose to wait to comment until I could sit down and really enjoy a full bowl.

Moisture content was just right out of the store, and the aroma was full of vanilla and cherry, the blend made me hungry for cherry pie with ice cream.

Packing was very nice (besides the single stem that I came across). The tobacco held a light nicely and smoked straight through the bowl leaving a mid-gray ash.

Emerging flavors were sweet and creamy similar to the bag aroma. The tobacco burned cool and stayed lit through the whole bowl.

So far I have not received any comments on the room note but from what I noticed (and it was wonderful) the aroma was sweet and very pleasant. I will follow up as I get comments from others.

I would recommend this to all, this will become one of my stocked blends. I can see why this is there #1 selling blend!

P.S. When you make a trip to Denver stop in and see Dave and his wonderful shop. Oh yeah, I do not work for this company, but am just so impressed that I had to give them the plug. ~ www.tewksburycompany.com ~

An extremely friendly smoke for drinks on a patio - I have non-smoker friends who request this. If you're ever in Denver, head down to Writer Square and say hello to the kind folks at Tewksbury.

After hearing all the hype and a fan of Tolkien inspired blends I had to give this now fairly old Aro a try. I recieved the shipment in 2 days from Tewwesbury and am very happy with their service. Using both the "three layer" and "Frank" method of filling it lit and stayed lit evenly all the way through even though it seemed quite moist like many cased tobaccos tend to be. Now I've tried Cherry and Vanilla aros rescently but Hobbit's Weed is DEFINATELY more of a blueberry like other reviewers have recognized. It kept it's taste throughout without being overpowering. The tobacco flavour still came through the whole time. Many Aros I've tried can either lose it's flavour or become overpowering as you smoke through. I also recommend this as an indoor blend that won't offend other's but is very welcome on outdoor hikes. Seems like good quality tobacco was used and I will be ordering more when my 2oz are out. Tewkesbury also sells Wine, wonder if they will ship out of state? Nope; according to their website you can only get their wine 'in-house' Being from and in Upstate NY I'd love to try some colorado wine.

BELIEVE the "hype" cause it ain't hype. This is a wonderful tobacco. I read the reviews and sounded like I couldn't go wrong. I didn't. The "tin note" was good enough to eat but I resisted and put some in a pipe instead. Nice aro things going on and, equally, I enjoy the tobacco flavors as well. Smooth. From start to finish won't bite, even with me puffing away rather energetically cause the stuff is THAT good.

I want to say this company has earned my business. They made a mistake in the money process and sent me the tobacco and some cash with a sorry letter saying they made a mess up. That's a good honest company.

This was my favorite for a while. I now prefer Bar Harbor, but I think both tobaccos change in smoothness and taste as they age and dry. Perhaps I should buy some more and see if a fresh batch renews my love of this tobacco.

I live in Colorado, so Tewksbury & Company is where I go to get my pipes and tobacco and not to mention the owner is quite pleasant to talk to.

I chose Hobbits Weed, because of the name first (because I am fond of Tolkein's works) and then the smell out of the jar was quite pleasant. It has a light cherry flavoring and a light vanilla flavoring.

It lights up just fine and the Burley keeps this blend from burning too hot. The tobacco together with the added flavors make a really good aroma. I find myself puffing and sniffing the smoke at the same time 🙂 The nicotine is there, but not hugely strong, so u won't get any headaches or what not.

The bowl lasted for 2 and half hours. There is very very low moisture content, so your smoke doesn't become sour or soggy. I was very relaxed and clear headed and my beard smelled like cherry and vanilla 🙂 I recommend this blend as part of your everyday rotation, if you are found of mild aromatics.
