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.

For the tongue that wishes the boldness of a tobacco to be unbroken throughout, the flavors vying yet never receding fully, the latakia salting up the smoldering mossiness, highlighted with plumminess.

My new favorite English. It has enough Virginia to give it just a touch of sweet, with enough Perique to add a little spice, and enough Latakia to satisfy, without being overpowering. I ordered a 4 oz sample, then 4 lbs. I like it for an all day smoke, with no bite.
Pipe Used: Clay, Meershaum, Briar and even Brylon.

I smoked this tonight and was very pleased! I am new to smoking only been smoking for about 2 months and I liked it. I was a little nervous at first but was pleased. It was smooth and did have a strong latakia note to it! My package was also moist and I dried some before I smoked for about an hour but still needs more. I will update this review once i smoke it again and have dried it out more.

This truly delivers on the Latakia. An absolute treat if you are a fan of such types of tobacco. If you are looking for complex try something else. If you need a huge Latakia fix this is your ticket.

Normally I won't review a tobacco without smoking it at least twice. Here we find an exception. In fact, I'd made up my mind about this blend before I dumped half a bowl. And the dumping was not by choice.

The description provided by the blender is quite accurate. This is most definitely not a beginner's blend. If you don't like Latakia, run away. Run far and very fast. I, on the other hand, like Latakia. And I do mean I really like the stuff.

I received this blend in the mail, and I promptly pulled it out of the box to give it a whiff. It has quite a strong smell, so much so that it can be smelled through the bag. There are a few lighter bits of tobacco thrown in, but the vast majority is dark.

After packing up a bowl and lighting it, I was rewarded with a very full and smoky flavor. The flavor held true throughout the bowl, and bit the tongue only when smoked extremely quickly. It smokes cleanly and leaves no junk in the bottom of the bowl.

Unless you're a die-hard Latakia freak, this is probably not the best choice for an all-day smoke. But as long as I have some on hand, I'll smoke it at least once a day.
