GQ Tobaccos Breakfast Blend
(3.50)
Not everyone who loves the creamy flavours of Oriental blends is keen on latakia and our Breakfast Blend is just that. Built on a foundation of Turkish Izmir, this tobacco is creamy, with a little sourness. To give the tobacco a little more body and deep flavours we have added Kentucky and dark fired Virginias. These two rich tobaccos add a leathery and woody edge and create, what we think is a stunning Oriental. Slow burning thanks to the broken flake and thicker ribbon cuts, needs very few relights.
Notes: Originally blended for a slow smoking contest at the Nottingham Pipe Club (2011). Currently available in their "blend it yourself" kit. The kit includes pre-measured components and blending instructions.

Honey Nuts and caramel, like a good breakfast should be.
I smoked this tobacco without a clue to the contents and my review is based on taste alone. The leaf is mottled and all brown with almost every shade you can imagine except the darkest and lightest colours. It lights and stays lit very easily.
The taste is full and very natural with a honey that by mid pipe turns its head towards a caramel/toffee taste. Virginia is an obvious component and a nutty flavour present throughout the smoke. This is further bolstered by the perfect leather and wood that twists with every draw you make. The oriental flavour is hard to place alone as it just adds to every other flavour save a floral sour here and there. All this just makes for a wonderful tobacco smoking experience. it would look like the house of Quaith is quite literally on fire.
The nicotine hit is akin to a good rolling tobacco and an excellent start to any day. This tobacco comes highly recommended by myself.
