D & R Tobacco TAPS VIP
(3.50)
Triangle Area Pipe Smokers is located in the historical heart of tobacco country. The remnants of tobaccos glory days can be seen in the Victorian homes lining somnolent streets of isolated small towns, and in the tobacco barns that dot the rural landscape. Fortunate to have within its membership a master blender, VIP combines two great classics of southern tobacco. From the tobacco heartland comes bright Virginias. From the bayous of Louisiana, spicy Perique. With a classic aroma and flavor, the result is a local expression of a fine Virginia Perique.

Got as a gift for Christmas. Was a bit worried about the strength. Nice room note lots of different aromas. Trouble I had was the taste. Started off kind of sweet with rum highlights. Once it got going I got a light hint of pepper with flavor. But as I went along the pepper got stronger and stronger. I rarely ever throw out a bowl before finishing but I had to with this blend. Just not a huge fan of heavy pepper and this has it in spades. Just not my cup of tea. If you like the flavor and taste of pepper this will be a favorite for you.
