4noggins Owl's Head
(3.35)
A classic mellow, sweet, and nicely balanced mixture of Orientals, Virginias, Cyprian Latakia, and Black Cavendish. An English blend that is just complex enough yet mild enough to smoke anytime of day or all day.

Fantastic! The best tobaccos I have smoked (more than 40 different)! Wonderful. I like to smoke light aromatics, VaPers and light english tobacco blends but Owl's Head is by far the best.

As others have mentioned, very oriental forward. There's lots of pepper notes. A bit of curry or cumin. Some smokey campfire from the latakia. Virginias bring hay, earth and a sweetness akin to honey. The black cavendish may be adding some of the creaminess or sweetness, but I think it's bringing that musty note; reminiscent of the unsweet black cav in C&D Sam's Blend. I could be completely wrong and the mustiness is coming from the latakia or oriental so, grain of salt. It smokes very dry and it has a smooth, almost chewy, quality. The sweet notes are really welcome in this and set it apart from other oriental dominant blends I've tried. The latakia isn't overwhelming in the slightest, which I like alot. It reminds me of a sweeter, less spicy version of Byzantium. Another impressive blend from 4noggins. 4 stars, highly recommend.
