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 received a sample of this with a recent order. Arrived crunchy dry - which was not much of a problem. There was virtually no pouch aroma to speak of. Loading and lighting were relatively easy and it stayed lit without relights, requiring gentle tamping as the tobacco smouldered away.
Albeit sweet, the taste for me was primarily incense like; obviously dominated by the Yenidje and Basma leaf. It was not really to my liking. I couldn't really make out the other components as a result of this. Perhaps the Virginias added to the sweetness and the Perique/Kentucky combo added to the spiciness, but none of them stood out above the Orientals. I am sure there are those who enjoy the taste of Orientals, but I am not one of them (at least not in these proportions). I appreciate the sample, but S&S is not one for me.
