pipesandcigars.com Scotty's HPCS Owl's Head
(2.89)
Owl’s Head is a mild yet full-bodied mixture of fragrant, flavorful Oriental and Turkish tobaccos enhancing the richly smoky Latakia, with a touch of Perique to add a bit of spice and a deeply sweet note. This ain't your grandfather’s English blend.

Update: My apologies to Mission - the blend I reviewed is from pipesandcigars.com and was purchased at the Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe in Albany, NY. Still not good even though I love a number of the great blends put out by Russ and this outstanding shop including Trout Stream, Country Gold and Danny Boy.
The Owl's Head blend I smoked came by mail order out of the Mission Pipe Shop in Olde Cali. I am just at a loss to recommend this blend even to a proven enemy. An absolutely bitter, rough tasting tobac that left a foul aftertaste; I even tried smoking this in a virgin cob to no avail. A thoroughly unpleasant encounter overall. This version is way too heavy on the Latakia and the Turkish tobac within is just plain nasty.
Okay, so I'm a sweet aro lover and burley meister at heart, but I do occasionally switch to a mild English or so-called Oriental blend; this one just doesn't do it. I thought this pouch would get better with age. Let it sit on the shelf for a while but it just got worse. Not recommended even in the coldest of weather and climes when any old tobac will do because your're more keyed to surviving the extreme termperatures around you than weighing the finer points inside the bowl.
