Hearth & Home Namasté
(2.50)
In honor of our good friend, Robert Tucker, this is a complex, light English blend. Sweet, citrusy notes combine with a floral/toasty flavor and is finished off with the rich smokiness of premium Latakia. Cool-burning, this is a smoke for any time.

This is not Russ' best by a long shot. Something not right about this blend. The latakia takes center stage but isn't overly powerful. In fact, this is a very cool smoking blend that lacks any real flavor that I can discern. Smoking it in a meerschaum further muted any excitement this tobacco might have to offer. And unfortunately, it bit my tongue as I struggled to extract flavor from it.
I've smoked several of Russ' other blends and have been very pleased and very much in awe of his expertise. Either he or I badly missed the boat on this one. Recommended for those who like a mild, cool blend and enjoy the taste of latakia, but who don't want to be overpowered by bursts of flavor.

To me this tastes like a more subdued, milder Morley's Best. I like the cut of this tobacco better than MB but the flavor is more in the background.
