Just For Him Longbottom Leaf

An exceedingly mellow smoke. It's a very light blend that is only half aro. This blend reminds us how enjoyable the taste of tobacco can be. Moisture content was beautiful. This tobacco smoked dry and completely. No bite to be found. If you are looking for a traditional aromatic with ample flavoring you will not find it here. Instead you will find a very mild yet very enjoyable smoke which is certainly worth trying. DBM

This blend had a great initial taste, but it did kind of bland out towards the middle . It wasn't dry, but had a bit of a tongue bite if puffed too fast.

The Virginias used were of pretty good quality and would have been better untouched, in my opinion. It had decent body.

I give this a generous three, it would be a two, if it was anything else other then what they say it would be. I would still like to try other pipe weed blends.

This is my first review of the Just For Him- Middle Earth series and if the other blends are this decent, I will be very happy.

Straight forward Virginia with some pleasing vanilla gravy. The flavour is sweet and simple, though not cheap or boring. Grassy, sweet, and a rich quality to the vanilla that made me think of brown sugar. I chugged my way through this bowl. Very smooth. I tried to get it to bite out of curiosity and it would not. It burned all the way down needing only one relight and left a brand new virgin cob dry.

Very little to say about this blend in the negative. The vanilla wanes late-bowl and it gets a little ashen in flavour. The Virginia is there and has life to it, but you will have to smoke slow and retro-hale to sort it from the obvious topping.

To summarize, I probably wont buy this again, but it was fun to smoke. This blend puts OTC drugstore Aros to absolute shame. Quality tobacco and no goopy chemical casing. Excellent for beginners and vanilla VA lovers alike.

JustForHim.com The site design is very 'Bleh,' but it was a smooth transaction and I received my order just two business days later with the cheapest postage option! Will certainly order from their site again. Great job guys and I look forward to touring the rest of Middle Earth with you.

2 Stars for me personally, but 3 Stars for Aromatic lovers.

Soft aromatic with VA + Vanilla. Not being a fan of Vanilla sometimes I wonder why is this the most common flavoring for aromatic tobacco. Somehow disappointed about this blend after trying other JFH masterpieces. Dont get me wrong it is good and I will give it a second chance... there is just some better.

Note: there is great discrepancy in the reviews of JFH tobaccos. I wonder if their bulks are just not very consistent/homogeneous so depending on how lucky you are you get something that in fact is always different.

I give Longbottom Leaf a solid 7 out of 10. I like it better than Shortcut to Mushrooms. The flavor does change toward the end of the bowl, but not unpleasantly. It's almost like getting two blends in one.

A good choice for aromatic fans looking for something a little richer.

This was the first pipe tobacco I ever smoked. Unlit it smells like licorice or horehound candy. The day I smoked it was very windy but it lit easily and I only had to relight once 3/4th of the way down and the only help I got for packing and lighting was from youtube videos

This is an excellent beginners tobacco.

i found that this had very little bite which i found nice for a new pipe smoker, but near the end of the bowl i found the taste to start to bitter. you could also tell it was a very wet smoke at the end

Longbottom Leaf is the first of the Middle Earth series I've tried from Just for Him. This ribbon cut tobacco has a great smell in the bag. I packed my Missouri Meerschaum Diplomat, which is my test cob, and it lit easily and smoked to the bottom without a relight.

The flavor started out very smooth and lightly sweet with a tobacco taste, and touch of vanilla. The taste faded slightly towards the bottom of the bowl, but it was still pleasant.

On a 1-10 scale, I give it a solid 7. I will smoke the entire sample, but probably will not purchase again. I have 4 others in the Middle Earth series to try...

This is my last stop in the Middle Earth Series from JFM. I must say this one is as unique as the others were. There is the vanilla that tastes nicely in the pipe and smells nicely out of the pouch. This weed burns nice and slowly for me. I haven't heard any complaints from the wife and no pigeons dropped off the roof, alas it receives a pleasant room note rating. The moisture level may be a little on the high side for some, since I had some gurgle whilst smoking away, but no drastic measures are necessary, like having to dump a bowl out or anything as rash as that. It smokes down to a nice ash with some dottle in it. It produces a nice amount of smoke and there was not even a hint of tongue bite. I would have to say that this is recommended.
