12/04 After some age a sample I have is absolutely fantastic. Sweet and smokey in equal measures. It is literally confection like without added goop. A shame the supply of this wonder may be running low. A slightly high bulk price when compared to other equally good blends, but IMO worth buying a pound of before it becomes unavailable.
----- Others have described the attributes of this blend, so I won't go over that ground again. My sample is very dry, which gives it a nice, even and pleasant tasting burn. At first it is so savory that I was convinced there was some topping. Working through the bowl I find it is just extremely flavorful tobaccos blended with skill.
Reminscient of Black Frigate or possibly even Night Cap, but a bit more varied and lighter in flavor than either of those.

I got a one-ounce sample of this blend when I ordered some of Jack?s Tobacco?s 12th Anniversary, which this blend resembles. I would say that Moose Scat is like 12th Anniversary but with the Orientals component toned down (since this blend predates the anniversary blend, I guess it would be more accurate to say that 12th is like Moose Scat but with the orientals component beefed up). I prefer the anniversary blend to Moose Scat, and Firehouse Dog to both, but it is still a wonderful smoke. I highly recommend trying them all, and I look forward to sampling more of Jack?s mixtures.
I found that the orientals in this blend really came through much clearer when I smoked it in my meerschaum, but it lost much of its character when smoke in my Cavicchi billiard or Castleford prince. The blend is rather delicate, so the ghosts of previous smokes in these latter two pipes probably overpowered the Moose.
