Hearth & Home Sweet & Savory

(3.00)
This new blend is hard to describe, but its name comes close - Sweet & Savory. We use a variety of yellow and red Virginias for sweetness, Yenidje and Basma for a naturally floral note, Perique for its “plum and pepper” character, and smoky, spicy dark fired Kentucky for complexity and “kick”. This is a blend with a “whole mouth feel”, meaning that all of your taste buds are involved while smoking this unique combination What we found most surprising is the cross-section of pipe smokers who enjoyed this tobacco. People who prefer straight Virginias, Virginia/Perique, Burley and even Latakia and aromatic smokers said they enjoyed it. Even better, many wanted to know how soon they could buy some of their own. Whether you’re looking for a flavorful treat to add to your rotation, or an all-day, everyday type of blend, see what Hearth & home Marquee Series Sweet & Savory has to offer.

I love Hearth and Home blends and hadn't had a bad one from them until this one. When I opened the tin I noticed how dry the tobacco was to the point of being crisp. As I loaded my pipe it reminded me of straw, both in how it felt in my hand and its aroma. When I put a match to the tobacco it tasted like straw as well. Worse, because the tobacco was so dry it burned hot and fast. The only thing I got out of this tobacco was a bad case of tongue bite and a horrible taste in my mouth. Definitely not recommended, unless you're the Scarecrow and have a thing for straw.
