Esoterica Tobacciana Dorchester
(3.27)
A special formulation of six light Virginias plus golden and dark Virginias with air-cured leaf and a pinch of Louisiana perique. Easy burning is ensured by the carefully selected cut. The perique balances the Virginias; for the discerning palate.

Dorchester was a total disappointment. The casing- yes, there is one, and very similar to Germain's Medium Flake- turned out to be totally detrimental to the overall smoking experience, making Dorchester to be a frustrating, syrupy and harsh tobacco. I have spent a lot of time and effort to track down an 8oz bag and will never buy any again.

I don't like this blend: it's inferior to Dunbar, not as lively and varied, and showing a finer cut. In spite of the fruit, at times flowery tin aroma (vaguely Erinmore-like), it produces quite a weak, bitterish, empty smoke. Its sourness and dryness can be bothering on the long run. Quite unappealing.
