Hearth & Home Obsidian
(2.78)
An all-black mixture of exacting proportions to balance the flavors well enough that the individual components become indistinguishable. Obsidian is sweet, smoky and spicy without being overpowering. Stoved Virginia, latakia, toasted black cavendish and perique combine for a unique and cool smoking experience.

I don't want.to give this one star but I have to. Biggest problem is moisture while smoking and it not staying lit. I even resorted to grinding it up in a coffee grinder. I tranfered a few ounces to an old tin for drying. Which seemed odd that I would need to dry it as it came nearly crunchy. This is too mild of some smoke and it burns too hot just to keep it lit even after leaving a small tin of it out for nearly a week.
Disappointed that I bought a pound of this. Will definitely be more careful in the future.

This is a very, very mild blend, very cool on the tongue. But I simply did not care for it at all. Maybe it was during the processing that any subtlety was lost on me. This was recommended to me by one of the pipesandcigars.com staff who knew my love for "Larry's Blend" but, to me, they are miles and miles apart in just about every category. I really cannot recommend this blend. It may be for some, but it's not for me.
