Hearth & Home Cerberus
(3.31)
Cerberus was introduced as the International Pipe Smoking Day blend for 2012. The name comes from the three-headed hellhound, and the name was chosen because this robust blend contains all of the most popular condimental tobaccos - Latakia, perique, and dark-fired Kentucky - along with Virginias and Turkish leaf.
Notes: Cerberus is the most Latakia-forward of all the H&H Marquee Series blends.
Made by Sutliff until 2018 and since 2021. Between these dates production has been moved to Scandinavian.

To be quite honest, it was the name and tin design that peeked my curiosity in this blend. The fact that it was a Balkan Style english was also a perk,as I quite enjoy this style..Alas, to my chagrin it was just another "gimmicky" sales pitch. The condition of the tobacco was atrocious. I like a drier tobacco just as well as the next bloke, however this blend is to the extreme. It being exceedingly "Crunchy" with the bottom of the tin filled with "coal dust". This being said, it have a pleasing taste, albeit quick and hot. Rehydration was no answer either. It compounds the taste with a very strong "brass-like" flavor. In the end, I was forced to dump the remainder of the tin in with my "Smoked Snargeloff" blend. Unless I happened upon a bad tin, which I highly doubt, I could not recommend this blend.
