Hearth & Home Stogie
(3.29)
Here's a great transition for the cigar smoker who wants to smoke a pipe but would miss the flavor of a cigar, or for the pipe smoker who enjoys the occasional stogie. The blend uses a blend of burleys (including dark-fired), some Virginia and Oriental, a touch of unflavored black cavendish and perique and maduro cigar leaf for a mildly sweet, earthy flavor.

In my opinion both the name and description are very misleading. There is nothing in this that reminds me even faintly of a stogie.
This being said, its not a bad tobacco although I wanted and expected something entirely different. While not being bad, it has way too much perique for my taste.
Behaves well and everything, but not my cup of tea. Strongly reminds me of Germain´s Royal Jersey, a blend I could not stand because of its too high Perique level. Tastes like lingonberries...and thats a taste I want with my soymeatballs with gravy, not in my pipe.
However, I see why many people like this! Try it if you like your Perique to be blended with a heavy hand. Its an interesting blend after all.
