Hearth & Home Beverwyck
(2.76)
An interesting, old-time blend, named after the original Dutch name for the city of Albany, NY (our home). Three different cube cuts (a Burley, a Virginia and a hybrid) are blended together with smoky Latakia, and spicy-sweet Perique. One of our regulars compares it to some of the original NYC Wilke mixtures. If you like Barking Dog, Revelation, Walnut or Country Doctor, give this a try.

This was my first American English, to take my opinion with a grain of salt. I was given a half ounce of this as a gift from a friend. My first impressions were not all that great. It reminded me of a stale light English blend. I noticed it felt a bit dry, so I threw in a humidifier disk and set it in the back of my cabinet. I pulled it back out after a couple weeks and gave it another try. It had improved quite a bit. While I would still take a full English over this any day, it was moderately enjoyable.
In summation, was it worth smoking? Yes. Would it be worth buying? No.

This is the third blend in a sampler. I won't go into too much detail, as I've a feeling that my expectations might have been a bit high. I expected it to be better than the standard drugstore tobacco, but it really wasn't much. Throughout, this tobaco exhibited that all too familiar wet cardboard taste that comes from cheap burley. I'm not sure why tobacconists would want to make a blend that tastes like something that comes from a two dollar pouch, but I guess there's a niche. If it were a genuinely cheap tobacco, I guess that would be forgivable. But since this stuff is four bucks an ounce, compared to Stokebye blends of much higher quality costing three bucks an ounce, as well as many Lane blends of at least equal quality for less, it looses at least a star and a half. If you are a fan of Walnut, then stick with it; at least it's cheaper.

I wanted to like this blend but it wasn't ment to be. I like many of pipesandcigars blends and I believe they strive to use quality tobaccos. My dislike of this blend is likely just a matter of personal taste rather than the use of sub par compoents. The description of Beverwyck makes a comparison to Revelation and Country Doctor both of which I like. I found nothing remotely resembling either of these blends in it. For me Beverwyck was just hot and tasteless.
