Tavern Tobacco Co. Rusty Hinge Flake
(3.00)
The "good ol' boys" from the Tennessee hills know how to have a good time and live life to its fullest. They enjoy good music, partial to the Nashville Sound, huntin', fishin', car racing and pretty women. But they also enjoy a pipe filled with good tobacco while enjoying a cold beverage at their favorite joint, The Rusty Hinge Bar and Grille. The old fella who runs the Rusty Hinge came up with this blend back in the days when Hank was king of the jukebox. It's been a house favorite ever since! An all day Virginia/perique with just the right amount of spicy Louisiana perique.

Another of my trials from Knox Cigar in TN but this one is only available from them tinned. The dark flakes were partially rubbed out and as with others in this line, moister than my ideal when the tin was opened. Based on my prior experiences, I believe some drying improved the lighting and burning rate and no relights were usually needed and a cool smoke resulted. This blend is made by G & H but I found no soapy, Lakeland taste. They kicked the Perique up a notch from their Samuel Gawith blended Laurel Flake to the point that the VA influence is hardly evident. "Just the right amount" as indicated in their description is relative to the smoker. Although not a strong tobacco, I found this blend too heavy with Perique for an all day smoke and greater than McClelland 2015 which remains one of my favorites of this group along with Caledonian 499 and Reiner's Long Golden.
