Two Friends Bed & Breakfast
(2.86)
Red and bright yellow Virginias are combined with fine Oriental leaf, toasted cavendish, and just a bit of rich Latakia. Bed & Breakfast is wonderful for a morning or all day smoke. Its delicate flavors and subtle nuances delight the senses. The room aroma is smoky without being overbearing.

Two friends tobacco is probably the most underrated pipe tobacco company on the market. These blends are just sublime. Bed and Breakfast has long been one of my all time favorite blends. I reach for this one quite a bit.
To me this blend is the perfect example of a perfectly balanced pipe tobacco. All of the components are easily discernible and they come together in an amalgamation that is far and above greater than the sum of its parts. Just excellent.
This is so perfectly named. This can be a morning or evening smoke, and no matter when you enjoy it it hits the spot perfectly. The moisture is perfect. It ages well, and is such high quality leaf. wholeheartedly recommended.

I have to admit to being a victim of Peer pressure. I hadn't tried this because I heard it was flavored- that generally means burn. Then I was given some in a pipe trade. Thank You Bladerunner!!!! This stuff is the Grail of tobaccos. It has a wonderful smell, Taste...I'm surprised there is latakia in it Cause I sure didn't see any. This smokes like what one would expect an Old timer in a Library would smoke in his pipe. Smooth, clean, Tastful and rich. Acts best for me in Billiard bowls, can be nippy in a narrow Virginia type pipe. Small price to pay! I love walking out of the room and coming back in just to smell the room note. Highly Recommended....

On first light B&B gives you a good dose of smoky Latakia taste. Good if you like Latakia, not if you don't. Smoke down a little and B&B becomes essentially a Virginia blend with just the hint of exoticism of Latakia and Orientals. Really a fabulous mellow taste. Very round, slightly sweet (from the Virginias I suppose) and very satisfying.
If you demand Latakia in all you smoke then B&B may or may not satisfy. I smoke about 75% Virginia/Perique blends and 25% English myself and am very fond of Nightcap to give you an idea where my tastes lie. I love B&B.
If you don't like Latakia much or at all, B&B can change your mind because it uses Latakia purely as a condiment and smokes like a complex somewhat exotic Virginia/Oriental blend.
Everyone should at least try this.

After enjoying several bowls I'm come to the conclusion that this is aptly named. Bed & Breakfast; it is suitable for both the morning, the evening and all hours between. Very easy to smoke and mild in several matters. There is just enough latakia, aroma and oriental flavor to please even the most complex pallet. Smoke it all day.

This is a quite difficult tobacco on my view,apparently simple and "natural" on the other side incredibly complex. Latakia is very little, but enough to make it pleasant if you like classic mixtures. I can remember the first bowl of it, it gave me a strong nicotine hit, almost as smoking virginia cigarettes. Slowly after quite few bowls the strength of this tobacco appeared, mellow, naturally sweet, light burning and strong. I use it at a morning tobacco and during the day as change of pace from my favorite which is GL Pease Westminster. But this is slowly taking over and have a quite large reserve now. Needs a larger bowl (group 4 perhaps) as it burns quite fast. Little tongue bite and can be hot. Not for beginners.
