Jack's Tobacco Firehouse Dog
(3.50)
We started with the Balkan base of Mongrel Dog and added more perique for extra spiciness, then more Syrian Latakia for that smoky aroma the Firehouse Dog craves and sniffs the air for.

With 12th Anniversary I thought I had found my favorite of Jack?s blends, if not my favorite all-day smoke. Then I tried Firehouse Dog and 12th was nudged out of first place. The two share the same base, but Firehouse Dog lacks some of the Orientals that are found in 12th Anniversary. This takes away some of the spiciness of the smoke, leaving just a smooth, cool, and still very flavorful smoke. It also takes away some of the bitterness late in the bowl that one finds with the anniversary blend.
As with Jack?s 12th Anniversary, I highly recommend that you try this blend. I?ve cellared some of this and can't wait to try it with some age on it.

Firehouse Dog. April 2004. If you are a lover of latakia,virginia,perique and also enjoy a dab of turkish in your tobacco. Then your on a winner here! This is definitely a very good decent offering of quality without any cheap fillers here,such as cavendish and other flavourings. I love Night Cap,Penzance,965,Early Morning etc;- And I also love straight virginias and v-perique blends.And I just love Firehouse Dog as well. Easy to light,smoke and thoroughly delicious. In its class 4 stars out of 4.

I ordered some of this a few years ago before the latakia had to change from Syrian to Cyprian, which resulted in the name change that Pipestud mentioned. The mix of tobaccos was perfect and this provided a heavy dose of latakia. I thought it was a good tobacco for a late winter evening relaxing at home. I haven't tried the new (and renamed) version, but if it is anywhere near as good as the original, its a keeper. Four stars for Firehouse Dog.
