Tavern Tobacco Co. Boar's Head
(3.00)
Formerly KCC Matured Virginia: In the days when tobacco was the King crop in Virginia, many who visited the colonial capitol would stop by the tavern for food, drink, conversation and a pouch of the well-known house tobacco. Rumour has it that Mr. Jefferson himself was secretly fond of the occasional bowlful. A blend of matured Virginias loaded with flavor but smooth as angel's wings. Medium strength.

Knox Cigar had (I believe) several really fine tobaccos in their Tavern Tobacco line-up, and Boar's head was one of them. Not at all like the original from decades ago that was a powerful Latakia. This one is actually a powerful Virginia with a wonderfully fermented smell in the tin and bold and semi-sweet flavor at the match. The first third of the bowl was Virginia tart and spicy, but then the smoke settled down and I captured a half hour zone of pure bliss. I might be wrong, but I think Knox Cigar misted this one with something extra.

I love this stuff. You can always tell when someone at the shop is smoking this because it smells wonderful. BE ADVISED: THE SMELL WILL CAUSE YOU TO BECOME HUNGRY FOR THIS TOBACCO. I have seen it happen many times and have also succumbed to its magical powers. Here is a brief encounter with Boars Head.

Fellow Pipe Smoker: Hey buddy! How's it going?
Tim: Great just hanging out.
Fellow Pipe Smoker: that is some delicious smelling tobacco. What kind is it?
Tim: Boars Head.
(Fellow Pipe Smoker loads up and begins smoking delicious tobacco.) End Story.
However, the story has repeated itself many times and I have also been the one that has been captured by the smell. Wouldn't be incredible if you could smell what you were smoking.
It smells great, my taste buds love it and my tongue couldn't be happier.
