pipesandcigars.com Scotty's Trout Stream

First let me say that I only smoke aro's in meerschaums or briars that I acquired on the used market. Everything else gets high grade English. I was somewhat cautious about this one as it is a bulk proprietary blend with just a couple of outlets but I must say that it is really a fine smoke. It is dry, cool, mild and very pleasant around crotchity old women so the room note must be great. It has a quality cut, terrific bag note and retains it's flavor throughout. Oh, almost forgot. It is really a fantastic bargain price-wise.

Perhaps my favorite blend to start the day here on the mountain - sitting on the deck watching the sunrise and listening to river rolling below. A sublime blend that burns smooth delivering a rich aromatic smoke without a hint of heat. Fantastic. Kudos to Rich for another beauty.

I was a little concerned ordering something with the work "Trout" in it, but the reviews were good. From the first smoke, I lked this stuff. I had never been a fan of butterscotch candy, but in a tobacco the taste was a pleasant surprise. Easy to lite, few relights, and a taste that is not overbearing.

I decided to buy 2 oz. of this after reading the reviews on it. It arrived in a nice, sealed plastic bag as does all of P&C bulk house tobaccos. I put it on the shelf for a couple of weeks before trying it due to I was busy smoking other things at the time. I finally got around to it 2 weeks later. Upon opening the bag, it smelled very nice. Kind of caramel-ish and vanilla-ish. It was just about the right moisture content (a little dry) and it packed nicely. On the 1st light, it probably would have stayed lit for the entire bowl, if I hadn't let it go out. On the 2nd light it smoked very easily and stayed lit with no problem. TS never bit me, throughout the entire bowl. However, my pipe did get a little hot to the touch about halfway through, I'm not sure why, because I was just sipping nice and easy. I'm a little new to pipe smoking, having smoked cigars for a few years, so my pallette is not as refined as some. I did taste a little of the butterscotch and a nice nutty flavor as well. I will be happy to smoke the rest of this 2 oz of tobacco and move on to another in time. This is a good aromatic tobacco, bravo P&C.

A 100% Cavendish mixture that smells almost exactly like Three Blind Moose, and elicits the same responses from bystanders. It burns clean and cool if you know how to smoke flavored blends, tastes mild and pleasant, and does not overwhelm with nicotine.

Don't smoke this in public if you're feeling antisocial. People will want to talk about it.

Smokes very smooth. Middle of the road across the board. Slight tongue bite when smoked too fast. Buttery goodness comes in as a background to a very well blended tobacco. Smoked as one of my first in the hobby. Will be ordering more to store up on.

Bought some of this based on the reviews here and will be adding this to my rotation. A great daily smoke, nice and mild. Try a few ounces, especially if you like aromatics like I do. Will be cellaring a few pounds of this, a good "go to" blend for sure. Highly recommended for newbies or aromatic lovers.

Trout Stream is by far my favorite right now. It never bites my tongue, has a good taste, and a good room note. Plus, from Pipes and Cigars I got 8 oz at $3/oz, including shipping. Some say it is too mild for them. To those folks I say try this: add a little Latakia. Trout Stream plus some latakia is an entirely different smoke. For me it provides the best of the world of mild aromatics and English-style smokes. All for $3/oz. What is there not to love!

I guess I have been converted to a few aromatics..... This stuff is delicious! Great room note....my daughter, who strongly disapproves of my smoking admitted she loved the smell of this tobacco burning. Packs easily, stays lit, doesn't gurgle away, burns to nice ash....I am very impressed. Especially considering how much less this stuff is per ounce/pound than other much snootier blends. I just ordered a pound of it.......and I have only ordered English Lat bombs by the pound before. This stuff is just a hoot to smoke, really.
