Spectre Spectre
(3.00)
Spectre is a pipe tobacco adaptation of the successful Spectre cigars, which were the first widely available cigars containing latakia. It's a rich blend of Virginias, Orientals and latakia spiced with a mixture of cigar leaf from around the world.
Notes: Although created by Russ Ouellette, this is not a Hearth & Home blend but a standalone product connected to Spectre cigars and AJ Fernandez Cigars.

I was skeptical about this blend when I purchased it on a whim. I like cigar leaf blends, but this one blew me away; it's so relaxing to smoke, the room note is marvelous but not overpowering, and you can just puff contentedly to the bottom of the bowl.
I would recommend this to anyone and I will most certainly buy more of it.

Dare I say "nightcappish"? Darn good stuff. Very much like Nightcap/Habana Daydream blend to me with a little less vitamin N. An oriental component peaks out just a shade more caressed by the virginias. Cigar leaf and latakia are absolutely perfectly entertwined to make this a legitimate pipe forward, long smoking, smoky smoke. Love it.
