Abenaki Tobacco Co. Georgia Peach

There's a little grass, citrus and a drop of honey from the Virginia, which is processed in the cavendish style, but it's not very noticeable at first. The unsweetened black cavendish has a touch of brown sugar in a complementary role. There's a slight nuttiness and earth from the burley, too. The peach has an artificial, syrupy taste with a mild sour note. The sweet honey does just a little more than underscore the experience. The toppings do weaken a little in the last quarter, so there’s a little inconsistency in the overall flavor. Has virtually no nicotine. Won’t bite. Burns at a reasonable pace and leaves a little moisture in the bowl. Needs a few relights. The after taste is sweet, lightly sour, with a hint of bitter. An all day smoke.

With a name like "Georgia Peach" - smoking a sweet aro mixture like this one is always going to raise anxiety levels. Is this another one of those syrupy concoctions that scores of our 'naturalist' and 'purist' tobaccoreview.com scribes constantly rail against? In other words - lacing the leaf with some heavy peach perfume casing just for the sake of adding another fruity aromatic to the inventory?

Hell no! Abenacki of the New Hampshire northland continues its reputation as one of the most underrated and undiscovered Intenet mail order houses in the Eastern USA. From first char light to gentle landing the Burley, Virginia and flavoured Black Cavendish promise of "Georgia Peach" prevails like a Quebecois Express whipping through the Dixville Notch. I would keep a stash handy for those upcoming hazy, lazy days of summer and much more. Exquisite bouquet, taste and character that rivals the iconic John Rolfe, another old peach flavoured pal of mine. Happy hunting!

I tried this in a sampler and absolutely hated it. I don't know if it was the honey or the peach but it almost made me nauseated. Abenaki has much better blends than this
