Peter Stokkebye 1882 Mixture
(2.00)
One of the most complicated and oldest blends. Two kinds of ribbon Virginias mixed with Black Cavendish and then accented with hand-spun Curly Cuts Very mild very smooth blend filled with unique tobacco flavors then enhanced with French cognac

Ofcourse I'll agree with much of what has been said of this "complicated" mix. But having tried it after a few weeks of airing-out in a glass jar (with a few nail holes in the top for breathing), I will say a positive thing. At times the smoke is more like Cognac than it is smoke; it is unique in its ability to create this liquid illusion on the tongue, and while not my favourite puff, I can say that it inspires patience and contemplation in anyone who opens its secrets. It is a smoke for someone who needs a distraction, rather than just a reassuring background. 1882; the year Charles Darwin died, and the year James Joyce was born.

Not one of my favorite Stokkybe blends. As stated by others, the Cognac topping is over the top. Let it sit, I waited a year, and the Cognac dissipates and the tobacco flavor comes out. Smoke it carefully - it never actually bit me, but I always had the impression that it was about to.

I happened to find amongst my "stash" of pipeweed a silver 42g pouch of tobac that was labeled CORPS EXPO 2001, "The Odyssey Blend", Presented by Peter Stokkebye, Int. which was used in that expos "Name the Tobacco" contest. I don't recall what the winning name turned out to be, but I had to open the little pouch to see what gives. Yes, it was still very much smokeable. The pouch aroma, to me, was just good 'ol VA tobac that looked just as the above description says it does; black/brown ribbons and/or small bits with fingernail sized discs here & there. Loaded and lighted good, smoked nice, burned well. Very little moisture trouble, burned to grey ash. I thought I'd e-mail Stokkebye to see if they could tell me what this stuff is; this is not bad at all. Brian at PS just got back to me & tells me this is PS-53, 1882 Blend. Checked again on the website & the visual description matches but I would not have guessed there was French Cognac on this. I don't think my nose or palate is that messed up, but I thought I was smoking VA mixed with just a bit of black Cavendish. Never would have thought there was a casing if I had not seen it in print or knew it was a PS blend. Anyway, this was mild & cool smoking with just slight sweetness & VA tang, and I can only assume (should never assume) that the flavoring dissipated w/time even though the pouch was still sealed. Nuff said, this is, apparently, a nice lightly flavored aromatic, the tobac taste comes through, and unless I have something different from the other esteemed reviewers or there is some confusion somewhere, the blend has very possibly metamorphosed into 1882. Not bad though.
