Moonshine Pipe Co. XXX Blend
(2.92)
XXX is a Latakia-based blend that is mixed with Turkish Smyma, high quality Virginia leaf, and a touch of Burley. To finish off the exotic mix of tobaccos a light top note of Kentucky Bourbon is added for room note. XXX is a fantastic English-style blend that will impress you from first light to final puff.
Notes: Moonshine Pipe Co. has paired up with Pipes and Cigars to bring you an unusual blend that fits the unusual flair that Jonathan Lavezzo puts into his pipes. Jonathan has built a fast growing pipe brand that was designed to get the blue collar guy a quality pipe they can afford. Getting your hands on one might take time but now you can at least get your hands on the tobacco that complements the brand so well.

An excellent blend. Smokey and smooth with just the right balance of Latakia. This one will live in my rotation for a long time! Sweetness comes in late, but you must sip slow to acquire it. Spiciness is up front. I love this blend and can't wait to try future blends from this talented artisan.

"Out of the gates with Authority. First blend from Moonshine Pipe Co. and Jonathan walks onto the scene demanding attention. From that first bourbon note upon opening the bag to the very last wisp of smoke that issues forth from the stem firmly clenched between your teeth this is a blend that requires your attention. Not an overpowering, chemical laden stew of flavors but a slowly developing, sensuous smoke. This is a solid English blend. But, it doesn't stop there. That hint of latakia smokiness blends smoothly with the burley to provide a cool, satisfying smoke that leaves you wanting more. Don't approach this blend ready for a quick smoke, Moonshine Pipe Co. XXX blend deserves to be savored and enjoyed. The only mistake you will make here is not buying enough, so get more now."

Immediate notes of strong latakia, and an immediate spice kick right off the charring light. After a few minutes the burbon sweetness came in and the latakia took the back seat to what I would call an english aromatic. It's surprisingly sweet and enjoyable.
