This has been an Owl Shop staple since 1946. It is a unique blend beginning with a burley base, adding latikia (just to taste) and rounded out with virginia sprinkles to produce a light woodsy delicate balance between soft and full. It is certainly an all-day,any season mixture that smokes evenly and leaves a light but natural room note. Finest ash at the bottom. Originally blended for Mr. William Brewster in New Haven, Conn. the real thing is now only available at the Worchester, Mass. store of The Owl Shop. The New Haven store has turned into some kind of cigar bar adulteration of the original shop. I GUARANTEE you will love it, and if you don't, send all your remaining stock to me. Thanks.

This is another great blend from George Photakis, Owl Shop owner and tobacco wizard. tucked away in central New England, the Owl Shop is home to some of the finest Latakia blends one could ever hope to stumble upon. Burley is the main protagonist for this offering, with Latakia filling the role of Barney Rubble. the discriminating smoker will delight in the texture of flavors, While the noticeable presence of nicotine will stop at nothing to vanquish the stress of a long day at work. the room note is perfect, due to the fact that I love the aroma of English blends. The final 3rd of the bowl can smoke a bit wet, so be sure to stow a few pipe cleaners for this journey. in the end, your left with dark continents of dottle surrounded by lucious oceans of somber grey ash. If your into pairing your tobacco with fine beer, I would suggest a nice oatmeal stout, perhaps Boonesville or Walaver's. so, if you enjoy the smoke of a pipe, and find yerself in Massachusetts, I see no logical reason why your not belly-up to the counter, ordering this, and many other great blends from the Owl Shop in Worcester.
