Dan Tobacco Gordon Pym
(3.22)
This blend contains golden Virginia, Maryland and a little dark fired Virginia that gives this blend a profound flavor. Precious Oriental tobacco gives a soft tangy flavor that is complimented by Syrian latakia. Broad-cut with a slow, even burn, especially in bigger bowls.
Notes: The name of this blend probably comes from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket"

Vile. I like a Latakia bomb as much as the next guy, but this stuff is terrible...

This stuff is no longer made and tinned, but you can get the same taste experience by going to any retail store and getting a paper bag. Take the bag and shread it into thin strips. Place the strips in the pipe you like least. Light up and enjoy.

One of the tobaccos available from Dan Tobacco. I can find many words for this one - smooth, peaceful, mellow, bland,
uninteresting, and vanilla are among them. It isn't a bad tobacco. It's simply a tobacco that I failed to find anything really gripping in. I tried
it in a wide variety of pipes, because I liked its smoking characteristics quite well and I was sure that somewhere in my collection there
had to be a pipe that would bring out some zing in this blend. Alas, I had no luck - there may be a pipe out there that will make it sing, but I
don't have one. It stubbornly insisted on being a quiet, friendly, and utterly nondescript tobacco regardless of puffing style or pipe. This isn't
a bad thing entirely, as it would make a nice friendly all-day smoke.
