pipesandcigars.com Scotty's English Stout
(3.00)
Scotty’s English Stout is a dark and robust English blend consisting of a substantial amount of smoky Cyprian Latakia combined with fine quality sun cured Orientals and ebony colored stoved Virginia; an excellent late evening smoke. Latakia, Latakia, Latakia... This blend reeks of a campfire on a very cold night. This is a very heavy blend.

Scotty’s English Stout is a definite lat bomb, a bit one-dimensional compared to similar blends. But, having said that, I’m not sure there are any comparable blends. Did I mention this is really, Latakia-heavy? This blend is for guys who smoke lat bombs and still complain they’re lacking in Latakia. Not that strong in the nicotine department, but the taste is very full-bodied, good tobacco flavor. I find it very rich and it gives off rich, heavy clouds of tasty, tobaccoey smoke… what more elegant reviewers would call a great mouth feel. As reviewer Professor put it well, this blend is a feast for its target audience. It’s not something I’d want every day, but it delivers the goods for an English-style blend, never doubt it. In a strange way, it reminds me of Semois – not the flavor but the straight-ahead intensity of the featured leaf (Burley cultivar vs. Latakia). Go easy, or it bites. Had to let mine dry out for a half hour. I’d smoke it. I’d buy it. The price is right.

Either my bag of English Stout was wrongly labelled or my tastebuds have not reacted well to this blend. The appearance is of largely very dark tobaccos cut into chunks that are somewhat moist. The aroma in the bag is that of latakia. But this is no Pirate Kake or Old Ironsides - it is nearer a mild all-day English. It smokes cool down to a fine grey ash and is a fine blend on the whole, but not quite the latakia bomb I was expecting. Larry`s Blend is much fuller.

I have so many tobaccos in mason jars that sometimes blends are lost for a month or two. This is one such blend that I pulled out of the back cabinet and smoked today - what a surprise!
It is like a mellow pirate kake, minus the blocked form. This is mellow on the nicotine and strength level - very smooth. THe Latakia tastes excellent. The smoke is volumous and soft.
Images and feelings evoked from this blend are remniscent of a month-long vegetarian resorting to his prior carnivourous ways as a wild hyena is roasting on a spit over a campfire. The anticipation of consuming flesh and the remarkable sating of such an appetite brings mirth and good cheer to the diner.

Blended by Scott Bendett, owner of Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe (PipesandCigars.com), English Stout is a solid smoke that I have been enjoying for several months. If Larry's Blend is an 'amped-up' Ten to Midnight, English Stout is an 'amped-up' Old Lodge (all blends that I have reviewed and that are created by the fine people at PipesandCigars.com). English Stout, true to its description, certainly is Latakia-heavy. It lacks some finer nuances, but for the lover of English blends it is a feast and is undoubtedly, like its name, strong of character (notwithstanding finer detail). I do not note any casing in smoking, but the weed does stay curiously aromatic-like moist hence the rating. Still, if one likes Latakia, this is certainly a blend smoke. Indeed, I have great respect for Scotty--because of what he has achieved as a tobacconist--and I am gladly the first to officially recommend this blend by way of this review.
