Low Country Pipe & Cigar Cooper

Tin note of sour wine and smoky. Tobacco is a Broken Flake of marbled brown and black with tan streaks. Moisture content is great. Rubs out with little effort. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and mostly consistent, with notes of sour wood, smoky, spices, toast, floral, leather, musty vegetation, herbal incense, dry earth, bitter, sugar, peaty, tart and tangy citrus, orange peel/zest, savory, a semi-sweet lemon grassy background note, and a very peppery retro. Virginias are leading with Latakia and Oriental/Turkish supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

Cooper is one of the absolute best English pipe tobaccos I’ve ever tried. Everything I like in an English tobacco is there, but none so blaring and in your face. The Latakia is truly there but lays in the background playing dominoes with the perique. The Virginia and orientals are up front running the show with smooth, mellow, naturally sweet and fragrant billows of heavenly delight. The wife’s sniff test: She says this tobacco smells like Camel poop. I could sit on my porch with a book and smoke Cooper all night long. Maybe this tobacco has won awards, I don’t know, but it should be your next purchase if looking for a fantastic English blend.
