pipesandcigars.com Yule Log

If you enjoy mild to medium traditional English blend then this will appeal to you. This blend is pretty much as described above. It is rich and satisfying and doesn't bite. Yule Log can be an all day smoke. I love it in the morning with my coffee. Give this one a try and you won't be disappointed.

Very Mild "english blend". The tobacco I received was at a perfect moisture level when it arrived and needed no dry time before smoking. It does burn a bit hot, but with some conscious puffing could easily be an all day smoke.

Thanks to our helpful government,this is a brand you cannot get any more. Maybe this is less of a review and more of an attempt to write down a little history. Anyway, when I got this in the mail the aroma actually came through the plastic bag and made the whole box smell like an English blend. It arrived ready to smoke and the cut made for easy packing. It certainly works better in a large bowl, however. The first light reminds me of another blend you can no longer get because of government interference, that one is called Pine Grove. This blend has more Latakia, but it is applied in a balanced way. The Virginias come through and provide the earthy tones that represent the wood aspect of the tobacco. There is a subtle sweetness that I cannot place, but it is there and comes out a little more towards the end of the bowl. The smoke is not too abundant but it is full enough for this type of mid-range blend. The aroma really does smell like burning wood, but the wife still insists that the blend be enjoyed in a more natural setting. Well, really, she said to take that stuff outside! But if you like the aroma of tobacco and smoke, you will like this. The nicotine level is fine for the middle of the day, but you may want something a little stronger by the evening. With a name like Yule Log one is tempted to think that this is a Christmas blend complete with hints of cinnamon and cloves. There is none of that here. I would have called this stuff simply late Night Fire or something like that. The ash burns down to a fine powder. This is as it should be. It can leave some moisture in the bowl, so have a pipe cleaner ready. If I could still buy it, I would get a few ounces from time to time; especially as Autumn is coming on, but it is not essential Christmas material. I hope that you have enjoyed this small piece of history that they have forgotten to alter!

Very tasty blend. Smokes good, tastes good. Just like any tobacco it can bite if pushed too hard. Could easily be a four star blend. Maybe I'll upgrade my rating after I finish my last 4 oz.

Smells smoky, and a little sour.

This is a lighter-ish blend, for one with Latakia, anyway. The main flavor is smoke, reminiscent of a campfire.
