Hearth & Home Old Kinderhook
(2.50)
President Martin Van Buren was born in Kinderhook, NY, and his nickname of Old Kinderhook led to the term OK. This blend is a fragrant and sweet mixture of Burley, Virginia and toasted black Cavendish with a great cherry flavor and aroma, without the typical bite of cherry blends. You, and everyone around you, will think this is much more than just OK.

Sadly, Old Kinderhook is no more. The good folks over at Pipes & Cigars confirmed that it was discontinued. To be honest, I purchased this based on the name but was pleasantly surprised. I'm not usually a cherry aromatic smoker, but this was different. The tin aroma was pleasant, sweet and slightly fruity with some lingering nut and vanilla notes lurking in the background. I can honestly say, Old Kinderhook was the mildest cherry aromatic I have ever smoked. I've had some doozies in the past that smelled like the old Luden's Cough drops or cherry Twizzlers!
This tobacco was a wonderfully soft smoke, had a great room note and an intriguing sweet-nutty flavor. You could smoke this tobacco like a blast furnace and it wouldn't bite. This wasn't a complex tobacco, but it was a flavorful, dry, all-day smoke that never became cloying or bitter towards the bottom on the bowl. I will miss it.
