John Patton Moe's Confetti
(3.13)
John's most popular blend. A combination of burleys give this a nutty and slightly sweet taste with a wonderful room note. Best smoked in a corn cob pipe.

Simple recipe. 1 part Carter Hall and 1 part Walgreen's Blender's Gold brand Golden Burley. Nothing special here.

I found this blend to be a complete disappointment. This is a surprise for me as I consider Storm Front a favorite and have enjoyed all the other Patton blends. John Patton is known for burley and because this is primarily a burley blend I was ready to be blown away.
What I got was a crappy aromatic. Yes, that is what this blend is to me. It should not be considered a burley at all IMO. I am surprised by those who compare this to the Burleys offered by Uhles. While those blends do have a topping, they are lightly applied to accentuate the natural flavor of the burley. MC is heavily topped with some raunchy chocolate topping that has a artificial chemical after taste that overwhelms the burley.
There are some reviewers who say that this is a combination of a few store bought tobaccos. If so, I have done better blending on my own by combining Carter Hall with heavily topped aros. Hell, I would rather smoke half captain black white mixed with Carter Hall.
It is with complete honesty that I give this one star. At $43 a pound bulk, it is also way overpriced for a crappy aro. If you want burley, buy a tub of Carter Hall or SWR and enjoy a better smoke while you are saving money. Or simply buy a pound of Mac Baren Golden Extra for $38 at SP.

I am afraid I'm about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Rich graciously included a sample of this with my last order. I was delighted to get it, based upon it's description and all the effusive reviews here. But then, I smoked it.
I can only direct you to Zone Smoke's review below. I couldn't taste the Carter Hall, but I COULD taste the Walgreens Burley, which is anything but a pleasant taste to me.
This was a nothing smoke. Really, there isn't anything terribly WRONG with it, but neither is there anything terribly right.
