Comoy's of London Cask #7 Single Coin Sliced

Quite a nice coin sliced tobacco...Initially, I was put-off on the addition of Black Cavendish at the center of the coil thinking it may add a sweetness that I do not care for. However, I've been pleasantly pleased that I don't get any of that Black Cavendish sweet taste.

The Perique and Virginia work well together and if there is any "sweet taste" it is from the Virginia alone. I believe this tobacco is a solid performer and the more I have smoked it, the better I like it.

Leaving the coin intact, I fold and stuff two coins in a group3/4 size pipe and have had no trouble in keeping it lit. Burns clean, little dottle, and flavor remains throughout the the bowl. A most affordable tobacco from STG.

...a pipe is to be savored...

Another very solid offering from the Comoys folks. After purchasing a number of their blends in bulk to try I have been nothing but impressed by their products.

Cask No. 7 is a very solid blend indeed. I enjoy these coin cut tobaccos, and some of my favorite blends fall within this bailiwick including escudo and PS.

This blend came to me in the perfect state to smoke. The moisture was very nice. I am in a habit to rub out my coin cuts so all my experiences with this blend were fully rubbed out before smoking. Often times a little extra attention must be payed to the very tight cavendish in the middle of the coins. It does not like to rub out very well.

This tobacco took flame very well and I have little to no trouble keeping it lit. This is a delight to smoke. I kept getting subtle licorice hints. The type of taste you notice and spend the rest of the bowl looking for again. This blend reminded me slightly of one of my favorites Troost special cavendish. Would definitely recommend.

Straight forward. Pleasant. Unremarkable.

Upon opening the tin the aroma is that of straight virginia tobacco. The appearance is broken flake with some coin shaped disks still in tact strewn about. I tend to fully rub out flakes as to bring out the flavor, and with this tobacco I do the same. After 10 minutes or so of dry time it is ready to smoke and delivers enough true virginia tobacco flavor to merit bowl after bowl. This is definitely an all day or any time of the day smoke. I prefer to smoke several small bowls than one large one, to keep the natural sweetness of the top half of the bowl. It may tend to gurgle if smoked too quickly, but as a sipper the bit left at the bottom of the bowl is not overly moist upon finishing. For those that appreciate true virginia tobacco flavor, this product won't let you down. I'll certainly maintain some on hand for those moments when I feel like an uncomplicated, reliable smoke.

Comoys - Cask No. 7

This was proposed to me from a Tobacconist in the U.K. & I really fancy it. It is easily an all day tobacco if you enjoy unadulterated ‘baccy. . The precise cut coins are a delight & the moisture content is excellent. I use the fold & stuff method in a group 3/4 & enjoyed an hours smoke. The VA is the leader here, the Perique is not vibrant however adds a nice spice! The Black Cavendish is woundersly present. It exudes earthy & maybe “smoky peaty” tones, with a very satisfying taste! It is very smooth with even fruity tastes and does not bite... smokes cool to a nice ash. I needed few re-lights & the Nic & taste is moderate. As other reviewers note, it is not a particularly complex mixture - however is just a satisfying solid smoke. The price is very acceptable; especially in bulk! It is not hard to recommend this to you as a slightly aromatic smoke that is a solid tobacco w/o the plethora of additives.

This was my first Non-Aro, and Non-OTC blend-so bear with my review and its possible naivete. Tin (baggie?) note was fantastic, non-chemical subtly sweet and enticing. It is a coin, I tried the fold and stuff for the first time. Got it char, then second lit and really had no trouble after that. Taste was Good. First bowl was a bit harsh and had bite, I was a little disappointed-maybe user error. Second Bowl was much better-First thoughts were Virginia, and smoky but as It took on more of the blend it mellowed and a hint of sweet peeked through. I enjoyed the tobacco taste, and the absence of additives. More "true" of a smoke for me. Overall, again for my initial VaPer I think it was really a solid choice. I will jar the rest of my sample and smoke it from a briar once I have one and see if it is different. To be honest, I'm not sure my Cob is doing it Justice? Cheers

I was at a friends house last night and he opened a tin of Comoy's cask #7 from his cellar. Well with any time two old folks get together who smoke tobacco conversation is going to ensue. It had been a while since I had smoked this as for me it was a very medium smoke. I never liked the added flavor of liquorice taste it left. This tin was about 5 years old from my understanding. It opened with a pop. The smell was nonexistent for me. Slight Va note might have been present. I rubbed out the coins making a nice pile and dropped the buggers in my pipe. It left a oil feel on my fingers that just did not really come off with a Blue Jean rub. It was a two match light to get a nice char. Tamp and relight. Smoke time was about 50 minutes in an average size pipe. Will ambit we sat talked and drank 2 bottles of red wine as we smoked. James raved at all the undertones that this had. I did not get that. To Me It Was Va and Per. That was about all. I did not taste the liquorice taste that I had before. Thank god on that. It burned down to a very fine ash. No here is what it really noticed. The room note was very strong. No bad mind you but strong. You could still smell it several hours after smoke. Smell really lingered in my clothes and pipe as well. As the evening came to a close I was given a tin of the stuff. Well after five years in still might need to settle on 8 or 10.

Cask #7 is a nice satisfying smoke and as others have said, yes, it’s very close to Peter Stokkebye’s LBF. The base Virginia tobacco is quality and the perique is more raisins and figs than peppery and the cavendish adds a creamy component that is missing from many of the other coin Va/Per. tobaccos. I enjoyed this quite a bit and might buy some more, but in a very crowded field, I don’t think this stands out above the pack. In essence, it’s good but not great!

Nice looking coins. You get some sweetness from the Virginias and cavadish, plus a nice spiciness from the perique. But be careful if you puff like a choo-choo train it'll get hot. I prefer to rub the coins out. Kind of a low cost alternative to Escudo or Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls.

I smoke quite a bit of Luxury Bullseye Flake and I found a tin of Cask#7 in one of my cellar totes that I had picked up on sale.

They seem to be cousins. Tin date was 2017 so this has a few years of aging on it. The coins are easy to deal with. I'm a folder and one coin fills my favorite small prince shaped Bones. Lighting takes a char, an extra tamp, then it goes fine. The coin smolders and I can tell as it moves through the different parts of the blend.

This is close enough to LBF that I'd not go out of my way to buy tins of it, unless they had a lot of age on it. I say that because LBF def improves with a couple of years of age on it.. so does this. In bulk, if on sale cheaper than LBF I'd buy it to help keep my coin inventory high.
