Hearth & Home Mazatec

It's earthy, slightly sweet and a bit smoky, in fact, the general character of the tobacco has been described as "mushroomy" This slightly aromatic Latakia blend is complex, rich and satisfying. Try something different!

The name derives from a Mexican Mesoamerican people who use psychoactive mushrooms as part of ceremonies. What is the connection with pipes? An influx of new pipers that use pipes as part of their costumes for Lord of the Rings cosplay. Another company targets them with LOTR referenced blends, one of the most popular blends refers to mushrooms, from an obscure script line. Now we have another "mushroom" blend.
It's dark with black cavendish and a tad of Cyprian latakia. Some light Virginia adds some contrast. It is sticky like any self-respecting aromatic and based on its easy ignition, not due to water. Sounding familiar yet? One more hint: vanilla.
I don't taste mushrooms, mushrooms don't taste like marshmallows. I get Captain Black with latakia. It's actually not that bad until the last third of the bowl when the glycol coats your tongue and you have to scoop out the dottle before it soaks in.
If you like aromatic latakia, try Nordings Hunter's Blend Fox Hound or Frog Morton Cellar. If you like Captain Black with a twist, try this. If you smoke a pipe as part of cosplay, get the original for the LOTR name.
Not for me. Not up to H&H standards, in my opinion.
