Hearth & Home Grandma's Kitchen
(2.14)
Nutty sweet burleys are combined with the mild spice of red Virginia, two natural toasted black cavendishes, and a bit of a vanilla based steamed black cavendish. This mild, cool blend delivers real tobacco flavor with a hint of sweetness, and a pleasant, unobtrusive aroma.

I usually don't like Hearth & Home blends. But, I have to say, I like this a lot. It had a nice aromatic topping combined with adecent nicotine hit. Something not often found.

This blend smells very well in the bag. Once ignited, it disappears. I am not sure what Russ Ouellette's grandma used to cook in her kitchen. Judging from this blend, all she did was boil water. There is something there, but it is indistinct. Good leaf, however, and it doesn't bite.
Too bad, because I am very partial to burley, cavendish and virginia blends, such as Pegasus. I was thinking this might be a kind of aromatic Pegasus, but no such luck.
Will keep trying it in different pipes.

Perhaps this blend has changed since the last reviews back in '07. I found this to be a very enjoyable aromatic, not overwhelming like some. As far as the "hot, bitey.." complaint that was mentioned frequently, I think that H & H has found a way to tame this. Easily lit, nice burn, generous smoke and a continuing flavor thru the bowl. I'm not sure what Grandma was cooking, but this is a blend worth trying if you like an occasional aromatic that doesn't smell or taste like a room deodorizer.
