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.

The chocolate notes are very much Prince Albert-like, except it's a deeper, richer taste. The burleys' molasses sweetness seems more Carter Hall-like with a little nuttiness that you'd expect from a burley mixture. The molasses is mild, but always noticeable. I suspect a little deer tongue may be present as well. Easy to pack, easy to keep lit, burns evenly and consistently to the very end with no goop, and no chemical notes. It won't bite even if pushed. If you like Solani's Aged Burley Flake, you will find this a very nice change, and I could see switching from one to the other just to keep your burley smoking life interesting. I'd say there is a little resemblance in the burley profile to several Uhle's and P&W blends, though none quite have the burley-chocolate taste that this has. The after taste pleasantly lingers and the room note is very pleasing. Three and a half stars.

The cut is a slightly irregular short ribbon, and the colors are dark and light browns. The pouch note is slightly sweet with chocolate tendencies.
This is a basic mild burly, and it is a great smoke. It is slightly sweet and nutty. It is am easy smoke and is a tasty thing to smoke that does not require much attention. I never got an ashy or bitter taste even at the bottom of the bowl.
This is a smoke in the same camp as Uhle's Blend 00 or PS Pressed burley. It is easy to recommend to anyone who wants a step up from the OTC burley blends.

I am pleased to be able to review a John Patton blend at last. JP seems to be something of a burley champion, in particular a champion of Carter Hall. Moe's Confetti is a little like CH, a little like Prince Albert, and a little like neither.
I have tried MC in several pipes and am trying to figure out what he has used in the blend. It has a very pleasant taste, doesn't burn, and produces a great deal of smoke. There is the Pinkerton and Middleton nutty flavour in there, but something a little sweeter and fragrant as well. My only quibble is that it burns quite quickly, and I wondered if he might have used a little 5 Brothers in the mix. Knowing JP from his forum posts, I can only assume that if it burns quickly it does so for a reason, and that I shall find out that reason in due course.
Pace John Patton, and at the risk of insulting one who seems to be a great benefactor to the pipe fraternity, MC is a great blender. I have been able to produce my own version of Count Pulaski by combining MC with Altadis Backwoods. With the same ingredients, but varying the combination, I can almost replicate 4noggins Down by the River. Not quite though -- Rich is way ahead of me in the blending department. I find that the confetti really goes well with the Backwoods aromatic flavour.
Will be ordering more: thanks John Patton

A very pleasant smoke. Sweet and earthy with mild notes of nuts and spice. The spice was an unexpected surprise. A little note of cocoa. I could smoke this all day with no problem. Nice simple blend that relaxes the mind.
Mild to medium in body and flavor. Flavoring is very mild. Burns very well.
