Watch City Cigar Nor'Easter
(3.65)
This is similar to our Churchwarden but with a decrease in the cigar leaf and perique, and the addition of some high grade burley for a slightly sweeter, nuttier smoke. Rich and full with round full undertones. Pressed into Crumble Cake!

I received a sample of Nor'easter and immediately fired it up. I am a big fan of crumble cake type tobaccos and the ingrediants of Latakia, Orientals and Burely sounded good. As a big fan of full bodied English tobaccos I was expecting a bit more of a punch along the lines of The Churchwarden.
Nor'easter is very smooth but I found the Burley to be the predominate part of this blend. The sweet and woody flavor of the Burley overpowers the Latakia and the subtle nuances of the Orientals.
It burns nicely to the bottom of the bowl. It seems to taste a little better when dried a bit, but smokes well right out of the bag. I tried smoking it in chunks as well as rubbing it out a bit. When smoked in little chunks, the flavor seemed more pronounced.
Since I am not a fan of this type of sweet Burley I can only somewhat recommend this blend. The room note was very nice with the wife commenting on how good it smelled.

"Nor'Easter" is essentially "The Churchwarden" in a crumble cake form with much more burley and much less cigar leaf.As with T.C. it needed to be dried out for a while before packing and it worked best in a medium sized bowl.The flavor is much milder and would make a nice late morning or afternoon blend but for me I missed the cigar leaf and perique and enjoyed it's sister blend a bit more.None the less it's a very nice blend and is recommended.... * * * * prep
