Jack's Tobacco OK Bayou
(3.00)
His rich blend combines the finest orange & red Virginias with a touch of nutty burley and enough Turkish, Cyprian & Syrian Latakia to make this a classic medium Balkan mixture, then seasons it with a extra measure of premium St. James perique to satisfy even the toughest of critics.

I just opened a jar of OK Bayou that I have had sealed since its release. Comparing it to my notes from my initial introduction to the blend, I have to say that it has gotten even better.
I liked it then, I like it more now. Robust, full of flavor. Never a dull moment. The Burley seems farther in the background than it once was, and the Va's are more prominent.
Too bad the Syrian is all gone - this would be one to have on your regular rotation. I will continue to hoard what I have and enjoy it on occasion.
If you can get your hands on some, by all means, savor it!

December 2005. OK Bayou is definitely 'OK' by me.I waited before giving my review of this superb blend.Why? Even though I totally loved it when I first smoked it,I did realise some ageing was required for the best results,and I was certainly right. After ageing for one month there was a vast improvment,so I decided to age it for at least 6 months.When lighting the aged tobacco I thought WOW,this is even better,than I could ever imagine! Lighting was easy and the whole blend was well rounded with no sharp edges.The virginia was there at the forefront followed by the slight no bite burley taste,the perique made a suttle show without being overpowering in the background along with the latakia. A great all day smoke,or anytime smoke.Not to light and not to strong,all round pleasant. "Delicious and Highly recommended"
