Two Friends Bed & Breakfast

Very nice oriental forward smoke. If you are looking for a very light Latakia, Oriental/Turkish forward smoke this may be it. Very nice woody and sour oriental smell coming out of the tin. Sweetness with a hint of smoke from the Latakia (very faint). Flavor is dry, woody Orientals. Earthy with a hint of leather. Very faint hint of smokey sweetness here and there from the Lat and VA's. Cavendish is not really noticeable in the flavor but does seem to add to the mouth feel in the smoke. A nice mild smoke, not a lot of nuance but a nice easy, mindless smoke.

What a great tobacco! I bought some of this in bulk and I'm amazed at the complexity of flavor for a tobacco that is so mild. Generally one has to scorch the mouth with scraping Balkans to reel in this amount of taste.

You know that amazingly delicious taste when you're on the last five puffs of a Virginia bowl? This tobacco manages to keep that toasted VA taste, to a lesser extent, all the way through the bowl. There's also a distinct buttery flavor that goes well with coffee. Want some latakia flavor but want the wife not to bitch? Fire up some B&B.

Images evoked: a horde of baby pit pulls toppling over a child and licking his face playfully.

Tin description is spot on as wel as is the name.

Good to start the day and even better in the evening after dinner in a large bowl.

Strenght wise it is satisfying and get me relaxed. The latakia is with you all the way down the bowl but stays in the background in a delightfull manner while you can enjoy the well balanced VA OR playing with your palate.

Very well done .

This is probably one of the finer Va/Oriental mixtures I have ever had. The toasted cavendish and addition of a little Latakia really makes an interesting smoke. The dominant flavor is Va.It is supported by the orientals with just enough Latakia to make it nutty. The strength of this mixture will creep up on you though,so be careful.It will tingle the tongue(not bite)while smoking ,so go slowly.A very pleasant flavor with the Va being so sweet. If you like "Midnight Ride" by CAO - try this.It is not as complex,but still very rewarding. Also the room note is almost non-existent. 3 of 4 stars.

This is quite similar in taste to House Of Windsor's Barking Dog and Cornell and Diehl's Junkyard Dawg, yet slightly sweeter. An American style psuedo english with a really soft and mild character and an excellent cool, slow and even burn. An all day Latakia offering for sure!

Despite the fact that B&B contains no burley, I found it similar in taste to American English blends that also contain a modicum of Latakia. Specifically, I found it reminiscent of Barking Dog and Junkyard Dawg, two other blends that I like. But B&B is a bit sweeter due to the presence of the virginia and cavendish. B&B is a very satisfying and mellow smoke that has excellent burning qualities and burns cool. Another nice offering in the C&D line from Craig & Patty.

A cigarette is to be smoked. A cigar is to be enjoyed. A pipe is to be savored.

I rate this tobacco 9.0 out of 10.

This is a very tasty tobacco. The latakia in it doesn't come out much in it but it does make enough of a presence to add some kick to the smoke. It has a mild flavour that seems to develop deeper into the bowl. For me, a larger bowl seems to bring out its complexity.

With this tobacco, the slower the better. It lets it build, it keeps the bite down, and it gives you time to enjoy a fine blend.

A friend gave me an almost full half pound of this saying he didn't care for it, but I have enjoyed this blend. It doesn't have a cough in it. Hints of latakia and oriental with a lot of colors. Light color predominates. Packs and burns easily. This blend is smokeable all day and is a great morning smoke. I may have to pay for the next batch; darn. Worth the effort for anybody who likes english style tobacco.

B&B is a very pleasant smoke. The description says ??just a bit of rich Latakia?. This is definitely light on the Latakia. So light, I bet you could get away with it even if you can?t normally smoke Latakia in the house. The Toasted Cavendish lends an interesting bit of dimension to the blend and enhances both the naturally sweet Va and the Latakia.

This is a blend that could be smoked in the summertime when many Latakia lovers tend to set aside the beloved leaf in favor of something lighter. I believe Mr.?s Pease and Tarler planned this as more of a morning smoke, but personally, I would prefer it when I am more awake. There is so much going on with Bed and Breakfast that I would hate to waste it on a palate that is dulled and disoriented from a night of sleep abruptly ended by an assault with toothpaste and mouthwash. Mid-morning at the earliest for me - I don?t want to miss a thing!

Highly recommended for everyone from the newbie to the old pro.
