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.

I enjoy pressed blends and this is a great find for anyone who enjoys sweet Virginia leaf. The soft flavors of a mild Oriental leaf support the Virginia which has been augmented by a very light tonquin application. When burned in the slice, it offers a cool and legthy smoking experience that presents rewarding complexity from top to finish. The presence of trash is minimal - which I find unusual for a SG blend... For me, the key to describing this tobacco is the word, smoooootttthhhh. Frankly, I'm surprised that more pipesters have not tried this blend. I could take a steady supply of this blend and smoke it daily. I'll have to start putting more in my cellar.
