Bugler Pipe Tobacco - Blue

I got this is a gift with an awesome pipe rack.

It is pipe tobacco, I thought it was handrolling tobacco. It tastes similar to the cigarette version that is nationwide mainstay. If you've never smoked it, it's a manly old time kind of smoke. John Wayne probably rolled it in Rooster Cogburn. My guess is the other fellas here don't like this bc they don't like the cigs. I smoked of a ton of the rollies in my high school years.

Kind of a thick shag cut. Smells like burley and maybe some Turkish. Golden and brown, like they say. Packs well enough lights easily. Burns a bit quick, but it may need some hydrating. Tastes like bugler, it's a unique flavor. It's burley and spice and a bit of tang. The tang is a little bitter at times. Like the cig blend, but deeper and def not for inhaling. The nic is there, more so than a lot of other otc blends. Burns hot if you puff at it, but dry and clean.

I tried it a small cob to taste it, and didn't think it was bad at all. In a bigger cob, it was a bit better. I feel like that may be the idea behind this stuff. Kind of mindless cob smokin kinda blend. That being said, I'm gonna try and do some blending with it. I will probably stuff a mason jar with this to keep in the shed for yard work time. Not sure if I would recommend this to someone who is not a handrolled cig smoker.
