4noggins Button Bay
(3.29)
A mix of nutty Burley and rich Virginia tobaccos made user friendly by the Turkish, Perique, and Latakia. A lovely balance of sweet, spicy, & smokey. Button Bay packs easily with few relights. A "Very English" blend.

Latakia is a ritual, The Best tobacco ever. I like this blend, very smooth puffing. Really I remember the Night Cap in the Button Bay. I like this tobacco. Thanks Rich...

The description given by the house, reflects exactly what I think of this mixture. Rich knows his work is without doubt, to create a mixture that much English, so smooth, so easy to smoke, what satisfaction! Truly, my compliments! Recommend it to anyone!

I got a generous sample of this tobacco from Mr Gottlieb. Normally I don't like burley. Burley is mostly - in German/Danish blends - a condiment of low quality and a substrate for artificial flavors.
But this blend is fantastic!
High quality leaf with just the right amount of Latakia. All ingredients are perfectly blended. Creamy and nutty smoke, easy to light and smoke. There is nothing to add to tin description!
Although my preferences are English, Balkan and Virginias, I must confess I crave for Button Bay.
It's not easy to get american tobacco to Germany. Thanks to Mr Gottlieb, he's a outstanding and reliable dealer.

I find that even with this blend being overly dried out that it remains pretty much what I have written below. The only thing that has happened is that it has mellowed out to be barely smokeable. This will be going into the trash bin presently. Original review: After smoking several pipes of this blend, I find that it is too much on the spicy/peppery side for my taste. It simply overpowers the smoking experience. I am very surprised because I have another blend from the fine folks of 4noggins.com that is simply wonderful. Maybe it needs to be aged a little more to settle it down. I shall re-visit this in a month or so to see how it is then.
