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.

I've had this is mason jars in my cellar for a bit- decided to skip my morning ritual of Autumn Evening or EMP (yes- opposites of the spectrum)- and grabbed a bowl of this instead.

This is fantastic- I do not understand the naysayers on this one.

It's delicious, gentlemanly, and elegant with that amber/musky aroma that one can find smoking EMP in a nice briar. Smoke it slow and steady- savor the smoke and the red Virginias mix in a nuanced and elegant dance with the oroentals.

This is not a powerhouse smoke- it's not meant to be. I'm an EMP fan and this is in that vein, scaled back by a few chords.

EMP packs a big a heady punch, betraying its utility as an example early morning smoke- but this certainly fits that bill nicely.

Hmmm...I'm not sure if there's a quality control issue, or if I have an older sample (it was gifted to me), but I'm going to write the first positive review of this tobacco in 4 years.

The smell is nice and woodsy, the pack and light are easy, and the flavor is divine and deeply woven. The Virginias are bright and right up front where they should be until about the second third of the bowl, when the smokiness of the Latakia comes out to play. There's a bit of Vitamin N here, but nothing that will make you dizzy. If anything, my one complaint is that it's too mild; however, that means there's no bite either, so maybe that's not all bad.

This is a great, light, very enjoyable smoke.
