Tavern Tobacco Co. Marrakesh Cafe
(2.75)
The bazaars and back alleys of Marrakesh have drawn merchants, traders, pirates, thieves, kings and all other manner of travelers for centuries. Many eventually found their way to a small café to partake of the house tobacco known and coveted around the world. The owner would trade for the fine Oriental leaf brought by Greek and Turkish merchants and blend the small delicate leaves with the fine Virginias from the New World to produce a perfectly balanced delight. Tavern Tobacco invites you to take the Road to Marrakesh with a bowlful of this exquisite Virginia/Oriental flake.

A varied cut flake, some thick and others thin. Medium to dark brown and very moist. My tin is dated June 2006 and I was expecting one hell of a smoke. Unfortunately, it was not to be. I tried everything from slightly moist to very dry and everything in between. The smoke just remained kind of muddied and the flavors of the different tobaccos were indistinguishable from each other. The burn was just OK, and that was after considerable drying. Well, this doesn't exist anymore, my tin is finished, I have no more tins stored, so, more time to inspect my cache of much better tobacco. You may enjoy this, but, it's not for me.
