Hearth & Home Egg Nog
(2.60)
The first true aromatic in the Hearth and Home series. A light and dark mixture with rum, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg flavorings. Although the aroma is complex, pleasant and mildly sweet, the spice flavorings come through more prominently in the smoking. A bite-free blend that will please anyone in the room.

I enjoy aromatics. I smoked this last night and it made me want to get something better in my bowl. I generally like a sweet aromatic. This is tolerable but has a little bit of wang that I don't particularly like. It does not taste like eggnog which is what I expected.

First, I have to say that I wouldn’t consider this to be strictly a holiday blend as it was a good all-around, everyday smoke, however it could fill that void as a holiday blend for some. The tin note was that of vanilla, nutmeg, sweet caramel, with maybe a hint of cinnamon detected. The moisture content of the tobacco in the tin was spot on perfect, which makes this tobacco easy to pack, light, and maintain a steady burn through to the bottom of the bowl. Upon lighting the pipe there were subtle hints of sweetness which remain throughout the entire smoke, however there was more of a spiciness that comes to the front of the pallet. By mid-bowl there was a mild nutty flavor which seemed to remain through to the end of the smoke. The room note according to the wife was mild, but definitely sweet and warm.

Russ has a winner in this Hearth and Home blend. Nice mild smoke. Very tasty cavendish and black cavendish blend with a nice vanilla flavor. This one gets a 4 from me.
