Comoy's of London - Cask #7 Single Coin Sliced.

I was gutted when Orlik Bull's Eye was discontinued, and although I enjoy Davidoff Flake Medallions as much, I don't enjoy the price. Likewise with Paul Olsen's Dark Pearl: great blend, but only available in 100g tins, at a cost of nearly £30.00 with delivery to the U.K.. So then, Comoy's Cask #7, any good? Hell, yeah.

The coins aren't as perfectly formed as Orlik Bull's Eye, they're a bit more 'fluffy' looking, and already beginning to break. It's a touch moist, but nothing a very quick airing doesn't solve. The smoke has good flavour: the Perique's easy to identify, but gives a softer, less acrid flavour, than sometimes occurs when it's too heavily added. The Virginia's sweet, and fruity, working well with the Perique. The black Cavendish is the farthest down the spectrum, but smooth's the flavour. The burn couldn't be any better, and tongue bite is non-existent.

Nicotine: medium. Room-note: a little vinegary.

A real winner. Highly recommended:

Four stars.

My new all day Va. Just plain easy to work with and no bite and you can come back to a half bowl hours later and its still sweet and delicious. I would gladly buy a couple pounds if my budget allowed. Straight up sweet and easy. Love it in the morning with coffee. Got mine in bulk 20% off Christmas sale at SP. Still perfect coins in the bag. No mess. The price in bulk and the quality have earned it a spot in the permanent rotation . Sweet and Easy, and a gold star for behavior. Yeah I'll always have this on hand God willing. D.

Ages incredibly well, fantastic price point, great flavor right out of the tin, makes this the best of the Best non-aromatic VaPerCav's, listed as a non-aromatic but the black cavendish must absorb some casing to give it a slightly aromatic flavor albeit without a topping.

I am going to say that I like this better than PS LBF. The Virginia is very prominent and sweet while the Perique adds a nice spiciness to the mix. The Cavendish center may add to the sweetness, but I am not really sure I can taste it. It has a darker color than either Escudo or LBF. At first glance I thought that this might have been due to moisture content, but it was ready to smoke upon receipt. I fold and stuff, nothing fancy, about two of the coins and it lights up very easily. It is best smoked slowly. I really do like the spice from the Perique; it is more pronounced than in LBF or Escudo. I have tried most of Comoy's offerings and this is one of my top two favorites from that house. I highly recommend this blend if you want a good reasonably priced VaPer. (5/30/2017) I have started rubbing the coins out. I think this improves the flavor even more. This is really good stuff!

Summary: a bullseye flake that pleasantly melds its flavors.

In my view, most people get this genre backward and like the overly-sweet bulk offerings from the large houses, but there are better alternatives. The tin pops up with a delicious fermented scent, giving off an odor of pressed fruit from deep in a cellar. Unlike the overly-processed versions of this style, these flakes are stiff like real tobacco and not softened into a tobacco towel with breakfast cereal flavor. While the Virginias make an appearance with a sweet and acidic zing, the Perique quickly melds into this to give the blend a flavor like a sweet after-dinner wine, with its Cavendish cores adding some sweetness and vanilla. As the Virginias melt, the three flavors slide together, forming a tangy sweetness which avoids being cloying, and in this is the strength of the blend. Instead, it brings out the power of the Virginias and then blends these varietals into a single flavor almost like that of maple syrup. Moderate in nicotine, high in flavor, this one could easily be smoked all day.

I really enjoyed this and yes it is an Escudo clone, but at less than half the price. I also like the wee paint tin it comes in which seals up really well (seems pretty much air tight to me as over the course of six months the moisture level has remained constant.

This could easily be an all day smoke as there's no bite and a moderate nicotine level and of course just a great taste. This is not likely to blow anyone away but should please many. For the money, highly recommended.

If you like Davidoff Flake Medallions, or even Escudo, this is a great inexpensive bulk alternative. Nice spice of the Perique, a bit of sweetness from the Cavendish. Easy to pack and light, pairs well with a bourbon or Grand Marnier.

This is truly a satisfying smoke. Basically, a VaPer, it accurately describes itself on the can as a “slightly aromatic blend.” Having read so many favorable reviews and loving coin cuts, I put it on my watch list but was dismayed to find it out of stock in so many venues. I finally found an ancient 100g tin at L.J Peretti in Boston, which they sold me without promises. The lid was slightly rusted, but the label was pristine. The health warnings were from the early days of postage stamp-size notices. Yet, when I popped it open, the bouquet was full with a vanilla/fig scent, the coins dark and moist, the burn even. I’m not one to cellar my tobacco, but be reassured, this blend aged beautifully. I can't honestly rate the room note, as I only smoke outside for reasons of domestic tranquility. Find a tin where you can. The high-star reviews are warranted.

Smoking now.

Beautiful coins. Not too big not too small. Two fills a decent sized Peterson. One in a MM cob. Smells like a sweet and tart Virginia perique. It’s great. Rubbed out completely with a little dry time.

The tobacco performs flawlessly. No bite or harshness. Very smooth, mellow, and sweet. The taste is mild to medium so don’t expect a huge flavor bomb. I get plenty of tart Viginia and plenty of sweet molasses with slight bread, some grass, and hay. Some slight vanilla too. The sweetness isn’t too much and is just right. The retrohale is a little spice and fruit and it’s very nice. Overall it’s a mellow all day type of Virginia perique. Not complicated. A relaxing mild pleasant smoke. I suspect the cavendish and conservative amount of perique aids in this.

Smoked in the morning with coffee after breakfast and I was fine. Nic hit isn’t much. Consistent flavor and strength throughout. Obviously with age this will get better. An easy going vaper blend.

If you want an easy smoking not too strong or an overwhelmingly flavorful vaper blend that had a sweet sugar center then this is a must. Very repeatable throughout the day.

I've smoked this from time to time. I bought a decent amount in bulk. It shows signs of aging well. The coins are well formed. Loose coins with attractive matured tobaccos and that black circle in the middle. Comes moist. But I don't dry it any. Doesn't bite. Fold and stuff is a slightly different experience than rubbed out but both behave well in the bowl. Slightly sweet. But definitely plenty of hay and grassy notes. The second half of the bowl is my favorite part. It burns more slowly with sweet notes from the Cavendish. I love coin tobaccos and this one is a tasty one. More importantly, it's affordable, usually available, and extremely consistent. Nothing fancy. Just good tobacco.
