(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.

This owl has a well-proportioned head. The components are few and are melded quite well. The description names three ingredients: Turkish, Latakia, and Perique, so if you like those I bet you'll like this. In the bag I see black leaf (Lat & Per) and a uniform velvety brown (Turkish), and that's it.
In the bowl there is a cigar-like note to Owl's Head which I suppose comes from whatever Turkish variety this is. There are also peppery and nutty notes as well as an occasional hint of something like mulling spices. I've smoked it in a variety of pipes of differing shapes and sizes and like it best in a tall, narrow chamber.
Owl's Head is one of the best bulk blends I've tried in this genre, and I believe I'll be ordering more once my current supply runs dry (which I believe will happen shortly).

This tobacco has a magnificent heavy smoked aroma right out of the package! Even more so than Altadis Count Pulaski. The tobacco is real crunchy (i.e. porous) making it a little harder to stay lit, so it requires frequent packing. It really has a strong latakia room aroma and that peppery plum flavor of the Perique. This one has more perique than their Louisiana Red, so it really provides a spicy taste! The price is very pleasing as well. It just has a little too much latakia for me. I'll give it 3-stars.

I tried this as a change of pace from aromatic blends. It is a good smoke for the golf course or mowing the lawn. I normally prefer lighter tobak such as Trout Stream or Dan's Blue Note.
Be careful to smoke this dry and slowly as to not scorch the tounge.
